    Stay here was really lovely, I didn't want to leave. Property was deluxe, with affable staff and lovely location in event of load shedding @ R139. Got the same a double room with a beautiful view booked online, loved that. Location: the hotel was close to the Midlands Meander and the mountains and valleys...

    Our Thanksgiving stay was amazing! First off, we were thrilled with the complimentary breakfast and the friendly host who made sure our stay was a comfortable one. the location was perfect for our needs- it was situated in a serene surrounding which offered a beautiful view of the greenery around us. Lastly, we particularly loved the spacious and well-maintained room which made us feel at home.

    The accommodation felt a little exposed, making it a bit difficult for us to relax and enjoy the scenery with the French doors open.

    Great location, close to key tourist attractions and easy to reach. The view from the balcony was stunning at sunset, and the rooms were spacious and clean with comfortable beds. The staff were friendly and attentive, they provided us with good suggestions for nearby restaurants.

    Unfortunately, the noise from the traffic was very bothersome, especially at night when trying to sleep. The bathroom was not cleaned properly and had a strong unpleasant odor.
