Exceptional Breakfast Buffet

The buffet breakfast at Southern Sun Newlands is absolutely fantastic! There’s a wide variety of healthy options to choose from, and I especially loved how the food seemed to cater to everyone's needs. Each meal is presented beautifully, making it a good start to my day. In fact, it's the best breakfast buffet I've ever experienced at any hotel.

Kid-Friendly Facilities

During our stay, my children were thoroughly entertained thanks to the wonderful kiddies’ area. It was a safe environment where they could play and have fun while I relaxed. The staff attended to the kids' needs and made sure they were happy, which made our family time even more enjoyable.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean, offering a peaceful retreat away from the noise of busy roads. However, they seemed a bit worn and could benefit from a refresh. The service was exceptional during my short weekend stay, with attentive staff who went out of their way to accommodate our needs. The location was ideal, providing easy access to the city center without the hustle and bustle. The dining options were varied and satisfying, catering to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Overall, a good value for money with a few areas that could be improved.
