I thought this property was fantastic and really enjoyed my stay. It’s very small and comes with the aspects and expectations of a boutique property. Is it perfect? No. Does it have a lot of heart and charm? Yes. Is it comfortable? Absolutely.

Here are my impressions and photos from last night’s stay:

Pros:

• Beautiful property with peacocks wandering the grounds (scary :-))
• Very friendly service - definitely no slowness for me
• The room is quite pretty and does a good job with the space (though, perhaps, might not be the best for someone who wishes to work due to the lack of a real desk)
• Bed is very comfortable - medium mattress, plush covers, very large and plush pillows
• Shower pressure is great
• Deep soaking tub
• Very large and fluffy towels
• Great welcome gift of passion fruit macarons and some sort of caramel fudge
• Given a box of chocolates at check-out
• No issue with late checkout - I left around 2 PM
• Breakfast was great - yes, the continental offering is a bit much, but the food was good quality - the salmon roosterkoek from the a la carte menu was fantastic and super delicious
• The staff wouldn’t let me walk to the mall, so they drove me the 2 blocks in an EQS - admittedly, I feel like getting out of an EQS in front of the busy mall is more of a statement than I was trying to make, but alas… - I walked back (they told me I could call them but didn’t want to bother) and was fine, even in the dark

Neutral:

• The wood floor near the entrance and bathroom was a bit overly slick
• Noise isolation - I was honestly impressed at how much it kept out, but yes, you can hear things from the courtyard and restaurant (not severely and not at night)
• Upgrade potential here is low - I think I was moved to a “Pool View” - the only suite available online was the Winston Suite, which likely isn’t standard

Cons:

• Bidet touch panel did not work
• One of the closet doors didn’t close enough for the light-off sensor - I fixed myself with a bandage so I didn’t bother anyone at 11 PM

I would definitely come back.
