We stayed for 3 nights at the family suite, family of four. The scenery was good and picturesque. Good view of the dams on the property. Enjoyed the wildebeest, zebras, springboks that was on the property. Well maintained property with maintenance staff who was "on the ball"...very impressed...mowing the lawns, trimming the hedges, etc. The suite was cleaned every day. No problems with cleanliness. We did have a problem of not having hot water on the first day but staff came out promptly to resolve the problem. Had no further problems thereafter with hot water supply. Well done to staff who helped to resolve! My child had a bit of a fall and staff was helpful in getting some medical supplies to deal with the scraps. The pool on the property looked very inviting. The rooms where great. Bathrooms excellent. Toilets excellent. The little kitchenette was functional. The BOMA supplies great food at St Ives....we enjoyed it.

The mosquitoes and flys had us irritated but we got some mosquitoe plug in liquid repellent, which helped alot. Thank you for spray can of Doom, which we put to use.

The accommodation was lovely, we stayed in the family suite which had 2 bedrooms and each room had an ensuite. The rooms had aircons but the lounge area did not. It did have a fireplace which we made good use off. Facilities were ample for a family. The animals were definitely a beautiful sight.

Water takes very long to get hot and when it does it's not as hot as you would like. Although fireplace is in the lounge would have been nice to have an aircon as it gets very cold during winter. There is no Breakfast on offer.

the location was beautiful. we occasionally caught sight of Zebra, buck and wildebeest which made it that much more exciting.

we loved the stay. we found it comfortable, clean and very convenient. However, some of the cleaning staff were particularly rude to us and seemed to be on the intolerant side. We aren’t an untidy bunch, and pay importance to cleanliness and hygiene as it’s a huge part of our religious upbringing. We can’t seem to understand why we were being treated rudely by some of the cleaning staff where we were given funny looks and were asked to move out of our rooms entirely and stand outside while they clean even though we did make sure we were not in their way and allowed them to do their tasks. on Saturday, our bedrooms and bathrooms were not cleaned either. With that being said, David was an absolute star and made every effort to ensure our stay was pleasant and enjoyable!

Very comfortable and safe. We were visiting family at the Ambers, and this was the perfect location, which was well equipped and had a number of animals roaming the grounds. It had a mini kitchen in the family rooms, with a fridge, microwave and utensils, comfortable beds, and spacious bathrooms. We didn't have breakfast or dinner there but Piggly Wiggly is just across the road.

St Ives is our FAVOURITE midlands getaway! We try go every 6 weeks. My son is fishing crazy and sits fishing the whole weekend from morning to night. I can sit and enjoy the view while the kids are entertained. David and the staff are EXCEPTIONAL! We come back time and time again as their service is truly above all the rest!

There is nothing not to like.

The rooms were spacious and both were en-suites. The animals on the property were visible at all times during our stay. Convenient location to explore Howick.

Walk in shower had no door and there isn’t breakfast included or offered on site. No network in most areas of the property even in areas of the room.

We only stayed for one night, but it was extremely comfortable and overall very enjoyable. Hubby, myself and the kiddies loved our silo family unit. It was spacious and worked perfectly. The animals were a huge hit and the view was beautiful!

Loved this place, perfectly located in the middle of the midlands so everything is close. Beautiful place loved the game and view from our room. The fresh milk in the fridge every day was such a nice gesture.

If I have to be picky my only complaint would be that we couldn’t swim. We did choose the place for the pool. And it wasn’t well maintained and full of bugs. So my kids couldn’t swim. But in the end that did not spoil our overall experience of the place

Very clean ! Cleaning , maintenance and security staff excellent! Friendly and full of live!

Sink area by the mixer needs attention. Some water marks on the ceiling in the bathroom.

Perfectly situated in the Midlands, beautiful venue, great restaurant overlooking the dam. What a treat to have a fireplace as well as aircon in the bedrooms to warm up on a cold evening. Very special to have blou wildebeest, zebra, impala and "blesboks" on the property!
