Als Läufer-Hotel beim TTOM: jederzeit sofort wieder 🥳🙌🏼
Pros:

Perfekte Lage für den Two Oceans Marathon! Nur Ca 400m Fußweg zur Startlinie!
Da Startzeit um 05.00 morgens gab es im Hotel das komplette Frühstücksbuffet schon ab 03.00 Uhr 🙌🏼🥳 Wahnsinnig toller Empfang für jeden Hotelgast/finisher nach dem Lauf (inkl eigens kreierte Medaille des Hotels 😍)

Pros:

One of the best experiences staying in a hotel.
Staff exceptional kind and supportive, friendly and warm hearted.

Superb stay
Pros:

Everything was excellent and the cherry on top was the hero welcome they gave every Two Oceans marathon participant after their race and how they went the extra mile before the race too by serving breakfast and coffee in the early hours before the race.
