    Beautiful Place with Amazing Manager, we came with a Newborn and he made efforts to get us a Cot which he didn't have to. The place is also very clean.I would definitely book with them again.

    The room did not have a nice smell when we first came in. They could have atleast placed a reed diffuser to make it smell good. And it looked like they did not sweep under the bed. Also the owner kept on coming into our room to work on the main switch box which was a bit of a turn off but then I understood since we live in load shedding times.. The staff that make breakfast burnt my husband's omelette and were too slow when asked to prepare an unburnt one of which I had to make my self since they almost burnt that one too...

    Our stay was good but expensive.. We were sleeping in 1 room with our daughter who was using a sleeper couch..

    Nothing, just like they say "Home away from Home" you will not be dissappointed.

    Reception was convenient and courteous. Russel was extremely accommodating. The room was spacious with the necessary facilities. The setting was exceptional waking up overlooking the valley with impalas eating the grass 10 metres away from my room was more than a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was scrumptious and large, with the staff very happy to assist in exactly how I wanted the meal cooked.

    It is an older property, so some sections may require a bit of an upgrade/modernisation. But it is clear they are working on it, so cannot fault the owners and managers

    Wonderful location, friendly staff, good breakfast

    Made to feel at home from our arrival. Nothing was too much for the staff (Panache and John) who went out of their way without being asked or prompted. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the future.
