I arrived at the house feeling poorly and was looked after like a long lost friend. Being a first time visitor to South Africa, I am so grateful for the warm hospitality I received and couldn't recommend booking with Alison strongly enough. My communications were always responded to quickly and the house itself is charming with bags of history and character. The sunny courtyard with views of table mountain was an unexpected delight. Observatory itself is a fun place to spend an afternoon with colourful Victorian avenues and funky coffee houses. I'd definitely stay again.
