With a high emphasis on personal service, guests are encouraged to feel very much at home, whether relaxing by a roaring fire or lounging by one of the two pools. Originally-styled rooms overlook the bay or the Kleinrivier mountain range and feature signature pieces of furniture and colourful artwork. The cuisine, lavish in its presentation and renowned for its seafood delicacies, is simply world-class.

Work out in the gym or enjoy a little pampering where specialist treatments include massage, aromatherapy and reflexology. However, little surpasses the daily activity of stretching out on a comfortable lounger overlooking Walker Bay – playground of the majestic Southern Right whale from July to November.
