“Suburban Cape Town gem for food lovers”
Palm House Boutique Hotel and Spa is a small Cape Town-suburb gem where the team nails every element — care, comfort and always-smiling staff that stand out even for skeptics of boutiques. Food is the star: an exquisitely presented eight-course tasting menu, a Friday Steak Club guests want kept secret, and a bottomless-bubbles brunch with gluten-free choices. Interiors, grounds and restaurants look magical; the lovely pool is heated — too hot to refresh, one swimmer found. A fine Garden Route finale.
