We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

    From the start, we loved the Simola Hotel! It's a beautiful Hotel, the staff was so friendly and we were greeted with so much professionalism! The suite we stayed in was also amazing, spacious, with beautiful decor! Wish we could've stayed another few nights but we had places to be the next day. This is really a gem of a Hotel. Next time we are definitely bringing the kids along too as the whole resort is very family friendly. Just have to say again, the staff is fantastic!

    The best stay for families with young kids. The food is fantastic, service amazing, the facilities well appointed. I had the most relaxing massage treatment at Bliss spa with Melissa and the cheery on top was the Kids Club edutainment programme led by Philani and Akhona made this our family holiday destination of choice. We even booked our stay for 2022 when we checked out!
