The Cape Sands Hotel, Muizenberg


Now you can see what the the old Cape Sands hotel looks like inside, you will have to agree that the current owner needs a public flogging. How in earth can someone buy a building and let it get to this state, has the owner no dignity - I ask you (I do not think he/ she has to tell you the truth).
  • Human faeces litter the floor.
  • Mold ever where.
  • All copper pipes have gone (pull out of the wall).
  • Floors that have gone missing (certain areas have no floors).
  • Broken windows ever where.
  • Smells that will take decades to get rid of.
  • And the list can go on but I won't.
When one does something in life one takes on the responsibility to better what one has taken on, so what does this say about the current owner and their out look on life.

To the current owner - "sit down in front of a mirror and look deeply, I fear what you are looking at resembles a mammal that wallows in something"

Cheers

I'm slightly confused because last year this time the advert was out that it got sold and retirement apartments on plans and up for grabs, hence the emptying of building,now its under the hammer again?

Yes and No,

Yes; it is supposed to be turned into retirement apartments, this is what we all heard.

But

NO; the owner is playing games with the company that wants to turn it into retirement apartments, through the grape vine I have heard that he wanting more money therefor the new auction.

He is trying to prove to this company that wants to build the retirement apartments some what that he can get more money for this run down building.

That certainly looks disgusting!
As I mentioned previously, I hope someone will turn all this in something useful to the comunity.
Cheers from Arona.

yes it will turn into something rather spectacular, once all the bickering has finished. The building has some awesome views of Muizenberg itself and the whole of the False bay area.
