Excellent break while still able to work remotely!

We had a magical stay at this property. The staff and owner went above and beyond to accommodate and provide an environment for remote working. Our suite came equipped with an inverter to maintain Wi-Fi and power supply to external monitors and laptops during load shedding times. Able to continue to work uninterrupted, gave us time to enjoy the property more and the area better, knowing that the load shedding schedule would not hinder or interfere with getting assignments out on time. We will without a doubt recommend this property to any, and to anyone that needs to continue to work while traveling. Would love to have stayed longer, and without a doubt will return when visiting Gordon’s Bay in the future.

Some of the staff had a problem understanding English which made some conversations difficult. However, the location and the facilities were great.

Perfect for our itinerary.

The house is on a quiet street on the beach. The Penthouse was on the top level up steep stairs that were fine for our family. We were able to find places to eat nearby but we also made our way to the Waterfront in Cape Town (about 45 minutes without traffic) for dinner. There are grocery options nearby that made grabbing a few breakfast items easy. The apartment has everything you could need for making meals via stove top or microwave or barbecue. We rented a car and the garage parking was very convenient. It was a perfect place for us to use to explore Cape Town and rest our heads at night.
