Amazing value for money, the view, and the location was perfect. We went in the winter season and the rooms were ever so warm, and the rooms were in good condition and well maintained. They were willing to accommodate our every request - especially being vegetarian, the chief was very accommodating. Unfortunately being winter we weren't able to use the pool outside the room, but in the warmer summer periods a place we will most definitely come back to.

Everything was amazing.

Place is super clean and quite. Staff is very welcoming and always ready to help. Rooms were spacious and clean. Great place if you just want to chill.

No fans or AC in the rooms. If you get hot quickly not much you can do. Veg options in the menu was very limited. Place is a bit expensive compared to other places specially since there isn't much you can do at the hotel.

The tranquility, friendly and respectful staff; Jabu and Thobeka were awesome. The food was also great.

1. The jacuzzi was not working and we were not advised as the time of booking. 2. The decorative flowers around the fountain infront of the reception were removed on Sunday and we checked out on Monday… are they only there for weekends? not nice as we wanted to take photos on Monday morning… 3. The entrance to the hiking trail needs attention, dirty and too muddy for a hot day like it was on Saturday. the rest of the trail was beautiful.

Ambience, peaceful and beautiful location, friendly staff, great food & good service.

The property can improve on communication to check on guests who are on their way prior to check in on that day.

The property is really very good situated and it has beautiful views. I like it that it has a restaurant on the property, you do not need to leave the premises.

The price was a bit high but overall there was not a single thing that I could complain about.

The staff were friendly and kept checking up on us till we arrived. The service was exceptional and they were kind enough to borrow us some crockery because we wanted to create our own platter and drink some wine we came with. And the food was great, I'm on banting diet and i was so happy to see that they've accommodated me on their menu the banting breakfast was so filling 😋

Amazing settings and room luxurious with all the extra's necessary provided for

The restaurant needs more servers and staff- the food was excellent at dinner, however the buffet breakfast was pretty standard

Large room, great view, friendly staff. Good breakfast. Close proximity to meander facilities.

Heating in the room was very basic. Bathroom cold. No hairdryer or dressing table in the room. Tv very small.
