Well-kept three-star place on a quiet street under the Table Mountain, three blocks from Company's Garden and two from Gardens shopping centre.

My account of a 2008 tour of the Capes (west, east and south) and critique of South Africa's three-star tier of accommodations may be found at www.pilgrimswanderers.blogspot.com
Durbanesque ambience with museum touches and a convivial host originating from Manchester. Happily planted adjacent to the main gate of Durban's Botanic Garden, and two blocks from a large mall in a 'safe' section. Also three blocks from the flats (now gone) where I lived in 1947 with my American family: the garden's giant ficus trees (still there) seem to have shrunk.

I was amazed to find this relic of the old South Africa not only still standing but serving exactly the same banana malts (with fresh fruit) and hamburgers as in 1949, when I lived here as a kid with my American family.
