Mustard-coloured Colona Castle, high on the hill overlooking Muizenberg, was the final of three hotels we stayed at around Cape Town on our 8-day holiday there. It was just us and one other couple staying here and it was like being invited to stay at your rich uncle's luxury getaway, it being a 1920s era fantasy of high ceilings and huge windows, decorated with gorgeous fabrics and exotic curios, showing a life well-travelled - one we envied very much! We stayed in the gorgeous green Chinese room which had an enclosed, AND and exposed balcony overlooking the courtyard pool (which we didn't get to use, sadly, although we did enjoy breakfast outside on our final morning), with a lovely, light-filled, large, sparkling white bathroom. Michael the helpful owner recommended dinner the first night at the wonderful Harbour House restaurant in nearby Kalk Bay which was just superb, and the dinner the second and final night at Catharina's in nearby leafy vineyard region of Constantia. Special mention goes to the smiling, helpful assistants David and Leroy. If we ever got back to CT, we would definitely stay here again. Book it, you won't regret it.
