Categories

Cleanliness
8
Generally reported as clean and in some cases 'spotless', with multiple guests praising room cleanliness; however there are isolated but notable complaints (very dusty under beds and blinds, and one report of cigarette smell) that reduce the score slightly.
Service
9.4
Consistently lauded across many reviews (friendly, helpful reception, VIP treatment, staff assisted mobility needs, professional and attentive); a single report described superficial/unengaged staff, but overall service is a standout strength.
Location
9
Frequently mentioned as very well situated/perfect and convenient (heart of Durbanville, easy to get to); location praise is consistent and strong.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms are described as spacious, comfortable beds and well laid out (some with balconies); issues noted include small shower in a large bathroom, occasional maintenance needs in some units, and one self-catering room lacking supplies.
Amenities
8.3
Amenities such as pool, cozy restaurant/bar with fireplace and happy hour are appreciated; self-catering units and pool praised but some units need basic maintenance which slightly lowers the score.
Value for Money
8.6
Multiple guests explicitly call out value for money and reasonable pricing for food/drinks; generally perceived as good value despite a few negative food-service anecdotes.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast is repeatedly described as excellent (notably outstanding omelettes) and restaurant meals are often praised, though one guest reported several tasteless dishes and limited outdoor F&B options on a particular day.
Overall Experience
8
Majority of reviews are very positive ('will be back', 'thoroughly enjoyed', 'excellent'), driven by service, breakfast and comfort; occasional issues (food inconsistency, maintenance, cleanliness lapses) temper the unanimous enthusiasm.

Wonderful
Pros:

Breakfast was superb and accommodated everyone.

Cons:

Carrying suitcases up the stairs especially when people have health issues. I propose that you consider something that will be easier for elderly and the sickly to go up and down. Going to the apartments on a rainy day needs to be checked by providing umbrellas.

Enjoyable and will certainly stay there again
Pros:

The room requires some maintenance in places but overall value for money. The staff were all excellent and our breakfast the next morning delightful. Huge selection and very good quality

Cons:

As a Facilities Manager I have an eye for detail and the maintenance within the room needs attention, chipping paint etc. The carpets on the stairwell to our room also looked tired and worn The table outside the sliding door was not cleaned at all and we rather opted not to make use of it. The rest of the facility was great, staff and breakfast the highlights!
