Team members Taryn Myburgh, Alethea Josephs and Heidi Botha visited this beautiful hotel for an evening out, enjoying the fine food and wine and plenty of laughs. We were given a tour of the property where we learnt more about the amenities on offer. At the end of our tour we were treated to watching the sun set over the Mother City with uninterrupted views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill from the balcony of the elegant Penthouse Suite. From here we headed to the COPA Restaurant where we were treated to a delicious 3-course meal in this modern, stylish restaurant. The COPA Restaurant menu features locally-sourced ingredients and a range of tempting dishes to satisfy all palates, the food was so delicious choosing a favourite dish from the menu is tricky!
