“This heritage hotel whispers stories from its Fresnaye location, a colonial-era bed and breakfast reimagined with a full-service spa. Individually decorated rooms and a location near Table Mountain promise both charm and access. I think that combination of relaxation and convenience makes it a solid choice in Cape Town.”
