We usually stay at Derwent House (which is usually #1 or #2 on Tripadvisor.com). Two ex-UK ladies and their team run a fantastic place in a great location.

…mboerskloop below Table Mountain very easily. This place is rated as #1 on tripadvisor (the best and gospel for me when choosing where to stay). It is owned by 2 ladies from the UK (Jo and Carol) and very nicely located in the suburbs. I will do a full review with videos later. The funny thing about it is that it is very clearly a product of the “tripadvisor generation” as everyone we spoke to seems to have found it via there, but also everyone is…

The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…
…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

Or, before the trip ask in their cruise Roll Call on CruiseCritic if anyone had a great experience or recommendations for providers that they felt safe and were impressed with. Next, knowing they are big souvenir buyers on their trips I had to warn them about not getting caught out here. #4: The Shopping Catch There are several wa…
