    There was an unpleasant guest next to us who complained unnecessarily.

    We loved the hotel, its setting, the gardens and the warm and friendly staff. It is a very welcoming and peaceful environment. The gardens and restaurant area are delightful and we spent many happy hours enjoying both the food, the staff and the setting.

    The restaurant downstairs was absolutely amazing

She gave us the opportunity to take part a wine tasting at the restaurant next to the hotel. Breakfast well prepared at the cafe close by

    Manager to please over see the rooms before allowing people in. Check to detail please.

    The area is easily accessible with shops around and the restaurant on-site.. Beautiful place with all basic needs in a room except for an iron but had ironing board. Had to ask for a light when had load shedding, nil provided or communicated prior so we plan. We were upgraded to another room as not happy just walking into the first that needed attention..

    The extractor fan in the bathroom was extremely noisy. WiFi didn't work well. On the night we needed a good sleep there were some very noisy guests having a party and playing loud drinking games late into the night.

    The adjacent coffee shop and breakfast restaurant made the stay a lot more convenient. Liked the spacious comfortable room. Friendly and helpful owner/managers.

    The tv in our room did not work from day one and we reported it 3 times but was never fixed after we got told it would be. Security to our room (and all other rooms) was compromised after the cleaning staff cleaned our room and left the hotel keys in the door for a whole day.

    The garden was absolutely beautiful and the atmosphere of the place was great. The aircon was an excellent addition and a lifesaver. The hotel was clean and very well located.
