The Clarendon - Fresnaye, hotel in Cape Town

With free Wi-Fi and rooms offering Atlantic Ocean and mountain views, The Clarendon Fresnaye was previously owned by the Cape governor and the Earl of Clarendon.

Our stay at the Clarendon fulfilled all our wishes. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the staff took care of everything. The smallest things like remembering something you told the day before, to exquisite arrangements for tours. The breakfast, all day menu and snacks in the room were very tasteful. Daud and the rest of the staff did everything to make us have the best time. Making us laugh, giving us suggestions and looking out for our safety. The rooms are clean and beautiful. Daily fresh cold water, new towels and chocolate on your pillow ;) Furthermore the location is safe. Supermarket, beach and restaurants close by. We will definitely come back!
