We stayed there for a week in one room with 2 adults and 2 kids. Very comfortable room. We had breakfast included and the buffet was endless. Very classy feel throughout the hotel. Short walk to the harbourfront but they also offered hourly shuttles. Location was very convenient for all our tours and just walking around the town. We didn't use the pool - I can comment that it wasn't huge but it seemed adequate. I would definitely stay there again!

We stayed for four nights and had a wonderful experience. Our hotel room was warm, inviting and comfortable. The staff in the hotel and restaurant were all very kind, helpful and great with our kids. The complimentary shuttle to the V&A waterfront is a nice service. You can pick up the sightseeing bus from there, or across from the hotel. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable stay in a great location. Would definitely stay again.

The staff at the Cullinan was excellent. From house cleaning, to the excellent chef, to the great bus drive..Kayah and Freddie were awesome and so many of the waiters had exactly what I wanted to drink each morning. Thanks for a memorable stay. I felt like I was leaving my family. The Wattley family Dexter,Vanessa and kids.

Great place to stay. Not much to complain about. Can do without the hotel manager nagging about a $3 dollar tourism levy which can be settled at anytime.

We enjoyed our stay at the Southern Sun Cullinan. The room was very clean and each day we were provided with a snack or fruit. The dining was top notch and we particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet each day. The staff was friendly and helpful even during checkout day when the lobby was pretty chaotic. Will stay again if we’re in Cape Town in the future.
