Beautiful setting with hilltop views, very well laid out buildings and garden. Nice touch having the electric blanket turened on before our arrival. Good access from the N3 and into Nottingham Road.
I requested a vegetarian breakfast for my wife. Unfortunately there seemed little experience of the requirement and so it became an "English breakfast minus meat and eggs". Very basic cereal choice, no fruit. The shower in the bathroom was of the stand in the slippery bath type which is a bit daunting for older folk.

Enormous rooms, beautifully appointed. We were cautious about the size of the rooms when we saw the online pictures, but the rooms really ARE that big! Although the furnishings are slightly dated, they add to a lovely old world country feeling. Great views from the lovely huge verandah; perfect to relax with a book and a glass of wine. The underfloor heating, electric blanket and heated towel rails will be great for the cold winter nights! Very friendly staff, the young lady who checked us in promptly brought the items we asked for and couldn't have been more accommodating.. Jan, the manager, was very welcoming and gave us useful advice on places to see and restaurants to visit.
Water pressure in the shower was unfortunately very low - so not a very pleasant shower.. Would have liked a bar fridge Coffee and tea station could be improved by adding some personal touches like rusks and specialty teas.

I loved that we had the facility to ourselves for 2 nights. Thembi was outstanding, always making sure we had everything we required. Always ready to cook our scrumptious breakfast in the mornings. Thembi went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable she was very friendly. She helped us find a good restaurant nearby so we could have dinner on Friday night. A big thank you to Amy as well, who was in contact with us all the time to ensure that all was in order during our travels to Arum Hills.
The only thing that was not enjoyed was loadshedding but that was something out of one's control. We had suffient light in our rooms while loadshedding was on and we had a lovely fire in the lounge area to keep us warm while waiting for load shedding to finish.

The manager accommodated us when we needed an early check in and was very friendly and and welcoming. the rooms were spotless, warm and comfortable.
I would have preferred a good filter coffee with my breakfast and not just instant! Otherwise the breakfast was delicious and the setting was gorgeous!

From the booking, the welcome to the departure, everything was so organized and efficient. Sma (hope I spelled it right) was an absolute gem. She welcomed us warmly and made us a hearty, delicious brekkie with a smile for our early departure. The rooms were super comfy and clean, and what a spectacular setting. Thank you, we'll be back Xxx

What a wonderful place to stay, from the whatsapp message on the day of arrival giving us some pertinent details, which then allowed us to correspond more easily, to the warm welcome when we arrived. Lovely big, airy rooms leading out to a big verandah. Well furnished rooms, big comfy bed, coffee tea station, hair dryer, towels etc. Beautiful views. Lovely breakfast. Overall a fantastic, incredibly well priced location. Highly recommended!

Location,breakfast, and the facilities. Jan was helpful with providing information about the place beforehand and responding to our early breakfast request. The lady's friendliness.
Cleanliness needs attention. Ensure that the bathroom has bath mat, and dust the furniture in the main house. Besides the above, we enjoyed the place.

Lukes efficiency in replying to my concerns traveling with a baby were great and accurate. He met us to show us the room. The views were exceptional. Good size unit with ample space. The common area house had great items for entertainment in the evening. Breakfast was great, amazing coffee and eggs!
Some furniture had dust and kitchen counter was not deeply cleaned. The kitchen of the self catering cottage should have more dishes and utensils.

Jan was particularly friendly and helpful and made us feel very much at home. We loved the spacious room with lots of surfaces on which to place suitcases and other things, The large and beautifully furnished breakfast room was a pleasure and access to its large fridge and deep freeze was appreciated. The spring gardens was a joy..
Hooks in the room for hats, coats.
