When to go?

All year round. High summer is from late September until the end of February, and March is delightful. April to September is referred to as the Green Season in the Cape (it sounds better than the rainy season) but days can be as hot as British summer time, without the fierce sunshine.

Owner Louis told us that, having stayed in hotels all over the world, he hated the thought of giving his guests a key and a map and then leaving them to their own devices.
