Eugene, I will be interested in your take on La Residence! I was intrigued during our brief visit there on ROAR 2, particularly with the town, which seems far more interesting for browsing or dining than Hermanus. I believe we were told that something like 7 of the top 10 restaurants in Africa are located in Frank"town". It was lovely just to drive through! Hard to give up a 3rd visit to Birkenhead House, however.
