The cuisine was excellent which includes breakfast and dinner. The service from Caster and Thabiso was first class. Well done to the Chef and all the staff who manage and maintain this establishment. The location of the establishment in the valley between the Lebanon and Cleopatra mountains is magical.

There could have been a microwave in the room. A Nespresso-type coffee machine for the room would have been a bonus ! A complete DSTV bouquet, instead of a limited choice, would be nice. But, Kudos to Bronwyn and Caster for ensuring I did not miss the MotoGP or Springbok rugby events.

At Cleopatra Farmhouse every possible effort is made to provide guests with the highest standard of comfort. This is evident in the room where you find soft bathrobes and slippers, everything to have a toasty fire in the wood burner, a wide range of magazines. And much more, but I will not spoil the surprises. Food is a high priority for this hotel, with scones, cake and coffee available. The presentation of the evening meal is key to the appreciation of the detail of each course.

Loved the location, food and hospitality was amazing. A perfect place to relax and unwind. Birdlife is amazing and lots to explore in the area. Will be back for sure.

Unfortunately, the condition of the roads is very bad, which adds time to the trip. However good to see their are roadworks in progress which is a big plus.

Everything was great - location perfect, kitchen well stocked with utensils, very peaceful

in the main downstairs bedroom, the bed just fits into the room, making it quite difficult if you are tall to maneuver around the bedroom.

River run cottage was excellent located with superb views of the mountains. A lot of attention was given to detail in providing for every possible need. We had our dinners in the main lodge and it was outstanding. The staff were v friendly and helpful.

The lodge is set in beautiful grounds. It was like entering a magical realm in some ways. The food was divine and the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I will certainly come back for a longer stay.

Absolutely nothing

Beautiful, tranquil and well kept. Whole area is lovely. Road to get there was awful. Lots of potholes, but I believe work on it is in progress.

Better selection on white wines, and more choices. We drank a Sauvignon Blanc of 2019.

Exceptional food! Amazing scenery and walks within close range Starry skies on cloudless nights were incredible

The roads to and from the hotel were challenging, especially after the rain! Won't stop me returning when I'm next in the country but I'll get a 4-wheel drive car the next time!

Best service, attention to detail and the most welcoming staff we have experienced in South Africa. Loved the food and the absolute joy on chef Tuli's face, when describing the process and cook of the evening meals.

The weather was cold, just a bit unusual as it rained the first day. However the rest of the stay was sunny with beautiful views on the lake and mountains.

The level of customer service is exceptional. The food was amazing and each evening was exciting waiting to hear what was on the menu. The location and the views from room 10 were a delight.

The decor could do with an update and declutter.
