My stay at Cape Grace was truly special. The ambiance of the hotel is absolutely stunning and the location right across the bridge from the V&A Waterfront makes exploring the area so convenient. While the dining options could use some enhancement to cater to late-night cravings and varied tastes, the breakfast was amazing, featuring a wide selection.
