The best rooms on the second floor have balconies overlooking the city -- ask for nos. 1, 2, or 3.

"St. James is where the English aristocrats holidayed, and the air of moneyed elegance hasn't dissipated. Emphasis is on space, light, and comfort."
Time Out
"An ideal position opposite St James tidal pool and the catwalk that winds its way all the way to Muizenberg ensures that those who love the sea are in their element here."

"Rodwell House is my favourite option on the False Bay coast, which has far more history and charm than the glitzy Atlantic seaboard."

"Just 30 minutes outside Cape Town in the charming town of St. James, the opulent 1930s house-hotel... sits atop a hill with a gorgeous view of the ocean."
