    The location is remote, so the gravel road was a challenge.

    Very friendly staff members and wonderful food.

    breakfast could have muffins croissants or scones instead of government brown or white bread. Filter coffee should be available for dinners and not only for breakfast. We should be told that it is actually 47 km on a very rough dirt road prior to booking.

    loved the dinners. Lady in charge of the kitchen is excellent and pleasant. Staff very friendly.

    The hotel feels a bit dated, but if you know to expect that, then it okay. The rooms are still very neat and clean.

    A lovely countryside hotel along the banks of the Breede River. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Enjoyed being able to rent a padel boat to take out on the river.

    Shared a geyser so had a cold shower first night. Breakfast on both morning was long as our order was messed up both mornings. Waited about 30/45 minutes for our breakfast. Waitress apologized! Di’s offer is a free drink on second morning mistakes!

    Setting beautiful. Hotel old but clean.

    Great place to continue to the Hoop Nature Reserve or explore the area there. The rooms are really great, although the rest of the rooms are from the 90s, which does have a certain charm. Unfortunately the pool was not usable during our stay. Our recommendation is to skip dinner, which is honestly not really enjoyable. The breakfast, on the other hand, is completely ok. Generally recommended if you have your own food with you. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

    The interior was totally worn out and very outdated. Like a time travel far back into the the previous century. The rooms very dark and annoying was that only one of the lamps worked. It was dark age.

    The personnel was very friendly. The food more or less between okay and disappointing. A roast meat was boiled meat other dishes quite nice

    The idea of leaving behind such tranquility and return to the hustle and bustle of the city is the only negative thought. Apart from missing the lovely Malva pudding the Chef serves up and the knowledge that you have added a pound or two.

    Imagine having a river view, delectable meals and wonderfully pleasant staff. This is Malgas Hotel. Riverboats, peace and quiet surrounded by nature, and staff to meet your every need. A night cap next to a warm cracking fire is just what you need to end off a wonderful day before tucking in to your warm bed for a night of rest for your body and soul.

    Not much! They could do with mugs instead of cups in the rooms and they should provide milk for tea, Coffee creamer is not suitable for tea.

    The food was all pretty good but too much to do it proper justice. We were unable to have breakfast after the huge meal the night before.

    Our breakfast table could have been better serviced with salt, pepper, serviettes, etc - we had to go fetch these ourselves.

    Generous delicious English breakfast served on the beautiful sunny terrace overlooking the river. Cereal collection not that exciting. Dinner very tasty and ample food. 5 courses is really more than one can eat. So family friendly for us with two small boys: indoor and outdoor children’s play areas. Beds were comfortable and room clean and comfy.
