The seaside Cape Town suburb Muizenberg has under gone a renaissance in recent years but even six years ago the Balmoral Hotel looked pretty good.
It's deco heritage is obvious. Twin flagpoles and metal-railed balconies with curved ends. The building itself also has a curved end, probably a flat roof and a series of arches at ground level.

I have a picture of my father probably in the late 50's in front of the Balmoral Hotel in a 1953 Chev Pick up filled with fruits and vegetables he sold in the area. I was excited to find that the hotel is beautifully restored. I purchased a 1953 chev pick up and would like to have a full picture of the hotel as it is now to re-create the image of him in the restored Balmoral Hotel.
