One point on the second number. 087 is not a mobile prefix, despite often being listed as a cell number. It is a non geographic South African number, usually voice over internet, and it is charged at national rates rather than mobile rates. Either line reaches the hotel.
Finding it, which is the usual problem
The hotel sits below the N2 in the Houw Hoek pass, between Grabouw and Botrivier, and it is easy to overshoot at highway speed.
- Use the GPS coordinates above rather than the town name. Searching Grabouw will send you into the town, several kilometres away.
- The turnoff comes up quickly on a descending pass. Slow down early rather than braking late, particularly in rain or mist.
- Roughly an hour from Cape Town on the N2, and the same road continues to Hermanus and the whale coast.
- The pass carries heavy truck traffic and closes occasionally in bad weather or after an accident. If the N2 is shut, phone the hotel before setting out.
The surrounding Elgin valley is apple and wine country, and the hotel is a common stop on the way between Cape Town and the Overberg or the Garden Route.
Booking, deposits and cancellation
Confirm banking details by phone on 028 284 9646 before paying a deposit. Intercepted invoices carrying substituted account numbers are a standing fraud against independent hotels, and nothing about the email looks wrong.
Under the Consumer Protection Act you may cancel an advance booking, and the hotel may charge a reasonable cancellation fee rather than keeping the full amount, judged on the notice given and whether the room can be re let. Cancellation caused by death or hospitalisation cannot be charged for. Cancel in writing. Unresolved, the Consumer Goods and Services Ombud is on 0860 000 272.
Weddings and functions here run on separate contracts with their own deposit and cancellation terms, which are usually stricter than a room booking. Read those terms rather than assuming the hotel’s standard policy applies.
