The food at the Insights restaurant inside was amazing. We had the restaurant week three course menu inspired by Tata's favourites. Each plate was gorgeous & more importantly delicious.

In memory of his love for food, our fine dining restaurant serves as a tribute to his favourite dishes as previously prepared by his long-time personal chef, Xoliswa Ndoyiya.
