At dusk the hum of V&A Waterfront’s restaurants, bars and clubs beckon you from your luxurious room. The Table Bay is a sanctuary for people who enjoy their food and wine. Whether it’s elegant dining on authentic South African cuisine by acclaimed chefs, informal ‘al fresco’ meals, or high tea with freshly baked scones, cream and preserves, the Table Bay will add delight to any occasion. Like a grand hostess, she’s always one step ahead. And then there’s the Table Bay’s Union Bar at which you can enjoy a crystal clear glass of champagne, or savor the impressive range of deluxe single malt whiskeys stocked in the bar. The Table Bay Hotel is the perfect rendezvous for couples. The need for fantasy does not exist as the hotel responds to its majestic surroundings. The maritime flavor has a wistful dreaminess that inspires romance

The afro-baroque décor with its earthy colors, rich textures and hand crafted fittings draws inspiration from the diverse cultures of Africa, yet remains integrated with the sophistication of the western world. Whether from the exotically appointed dining room, the intimate glassed-in lounge, or the large open decks high above the forest floor, the views are all breathtakingly beautiful, encompassing lush forests extending across rolling valleys towards distant hills. Tucked into the forest canopy, 10 luxury hide-away suites are the epitome of opulent indulgence and romanticism and make Tsala the perfect honeymoon place getaway.
