The stay

Built to watch the light go down

The Golden Sunset Room is one room with its own front door. A queen-size bed, an ensuite bathroom, and a private braai area outside. It sleeps two, which makes it the pick for a couple or a night away.

The view does the talking. A private braai spot, and a clear line of sight across Sir Lowry's Pass to the sun setting over False Bay. This is a romantic getaway first and foremost.

Inside the Golden Sunset Room: queen bed dressed in white linen, high pitched ceiling, wood-fired heater with silver flue on the right, kitchenette with vessel sink and mounted TV, glass doors opening onto the private courtyard entrance. Angkor Wat art canvas on the left wall and an orange rice-paper lantern beside the bed.

Look around
