  • Gracious, wise , mellow, charming;
    in the league of the Peninsula, Oriental, Grosvenor.
    I remember a few short stays there, an absolute contrasr to backpacking, but the enjyoment of its service is unforgettable;
    and if you're on Company expense, take a 3 day special a grand for two

    Unique Qualities: I remember :
    the fine rack of Karoo lamb flavoured by the dry Karroo grass;
    the tea and cucumber sandwiches on the patio;
    the set menu meals in the dining hall, with impeccable service;
    the smoked whiskey in the pub with whiffs of cuban cigars;

     How lucky you are that you get to go to South Africa often. I enjoyed your Cape Town page.

     Ken, interesting to read your Cape Town page. I enjoyed my stay in Cape town, though it was very short ...only three days as far I can remember.
