“Katherine Street's safe base”
Southern Sun Katherine Street is a fabulous well-regarded business stay — roomy rooms with a mini kitchen, a good breakfast, good pool loungers, tasty food, good well-kept facilities and hygiene, a safe quiet environment with easy taxis to a nearby mall, and even-better smiling service; one consultant stayed twenty days. Caveats though: ground-floor standard rooms pick up condenser noise, and fittings show some age.
