Community focus

The THREE have taken steps to reduce energy consumption to the average a private home uses by installing inverters, heat pumps and solar panels. Guests can use floor fans instead of air-conditioning. Future projects include rainwater harvesting to top up irrigation and pool. Another project is underway to deliver sensor lighting – saving electricity. All waste is recycled by a private contractor.

Testimonials

  • “A wonderful start to a fabulous trip” Reviewed April 8, 2013 We started our first visit to South Africa at The Three and what a fab starting point it was. Our room was very comfortable and nicely decorated, with little touches like the welcoming sherry. Justin and Daniel couldn't do enough to make recommendations and suggestions to make our visit to Cape Town just great. The ever-changing view of Table Mountain from the roof garden was an added bonus, as was the hotel taxi service in the evening which meant we didn't need to worry about the distance from the centre of town and the V&A Waterfront. Breakfast was excellent. A real family run hotel which we would highly recommend.
