Cannot Fault - A home away from home - I stayed at Atlantic Breeze with my mother for a week. The guest house is even better than it looks on the website! It's kept spotlessly clean and has a wonderful homely feel. Compared to hotels which I often find impersonal and bare, the guesthouse is beautifully decorated with African paintings and stunning photos of animals. Adding to the home from home experience was the service offered by Jo, the owner. She offers a very high quality and delicious breakfast of fresh fruits, cereals, yoghurts and pastries and cooks hot food to order, exactly how you want it. For example, french toast with fresh fruit, full English, smoked salmon scrambled eggs and more. She went to great lengths to make our stay the very best. My mother admired the large wooden giraffes she has in the hall and she arranged for 2 to be purchased and delivered to the guesthouse and even helped us wrap the 5 foot parcel so we could fly them home! She literally bent over backwards to look after us - service which i've never had anywhere else I've stayed. She also has two gorgeous cocker spaniels who we loved playing with (don't be put off if you're not a dog fan - they don't have the roam of the house!).

In terms of location, Atlantic Breeze is just around the corner (2 minutes) from Sunset Beach. The beautiful sunsets prove why the beach has its name. We used the new bus service that goes directly into Cape Town in its own bus lane so avoids all traffic. The stop is just up the road from Atlantic Breeze and it was very easy to use. We enjoyed relaxing in the lappa in the evenings with drinks from the very reasonably priced honesty bar. The location offers a perfect combination of a delighted place to stay with a quiet location and lovely beach with easy access to the busy city and the sights, as well as the wineries in the hills.

If visiting Cape Town I'd certainly recommend staying at Atlantic Breeze. I will definitely be returning. October 2011
