“Nestled in the leafy Higgovale, this boutique hideaway feels worlds away from the city's bustle, yet it's remarkably close to iconic attractions like Table Mountain; I picture returning from a day exploring Cape Town to its chic lounges and gardens. With individualized service and gourmet cuisine, it strikes me as a haven of tranquility and understated luxury.”
