Perfect spot
Perfect location for us. The hop on hop off bus stop was just over the road and Ubers readily available for going out at night. 10 mins by car to V&A harbour and Camps Bay was 10 mins in other direction. Friendly and attentive staff although on occasion the service was quite slow - but we learned this is the South African way so went with it.

The Winchester was a wondeful place to stay. Less than 10 minutes by Uber to the Waterfront and close to Camps Bay. Sea Point also has some nice dining options and shopping. We felt safe walking around this area, even in the evening The hotel itself is beautiful. The inner courtyard with the bougainvillea is postcard perfect. The service is great and the rooms are nicely appointed and clean. We would love to return some day.

Very beautiful property. Friendly front office staff. Room was large and clean. Restaurant staff were not particularly attentive and the menus lacked vegan options, if they were available the restaurant staff weren’t sure and couldn’t make clear to us what was or wasn’t available for breakfast or for lunch.

Excellent place to stay in Cape Town
Excellent hotel- the location and staff were amazing! Could walk to Mojo market and V&A waterfront for excellent food options.
Breakfast was absolutely wonderful and the view from the hotel, service, and amenities cannot be beat. I would 100% recommend this hotel to any friend thinking about traveling to Cape Town!

Incredible holiday visit
Stayed 4 nights junior sea facing suite during Christmas. The staff was super helpful and friendly, shout out to Mukhtar at the front desk who went the extra mile. We enjoyed the restaurant, bar and spa during our stay. The gym is small but outdoor activities abound as does friendly weather so why stay in?
One mild irritation was a guest in a neighbouring room smoking a cigar, which seemed odd as the property should be smoke free.
