Beautiful surroundings, comfortable units. Staff is friendly.
We had a nice stay in a unit (Wild Duck) which is very privately located with a beautiful view of a trout pond. The unit is within walking distance of the main building and close to the stables. It was nice with the horses that moved around the house in the morning. Unfortunately there was not a DSTV decoder in the unit when we arrived. Staff also couldn't manage to come and install one. It doesn't bother if you don't expect TV, but it is advertised with DSTV. There was damage to heaters and lights in some of the rooms. No complimentary coffee, tea or water. Most self-catering places do provide something like this.

A truly peaceful getaway.
We really enjoyed the visit, all we feel is necessary to pay attention to is the answering of phone calls after the reception. We have tried many times to get through but with no success. We later had to contact the Spa to only approach the reception or contact person as indicated on the leaflet to contact us in connection with our requests such as e.g. the DSTV that did not want to go on. We would also have appreciated it if wood had already been provided upon arrival. Furthermore, the visit was extremely delicious!

Beautiful scenery with lots of activities for the children.
What a lovely view and scenery. The cottage itself was so-so, a lot of things were lacking in the kitchen especially. No brooms to sweep with, no cleaning supplies, e.g. cloths, dish sponges and more. If we had been made aware that we had to bring all these things with us, it would have been better. Then at least we could wash our dishes and sweep the floors as needed. It would be better if guests were informed with a list of everything the cottage does have so guests can plan better.

Ons neem u kommentaar oor die tekortkominge in die kombuis, insluitend die gebrek aan skoonmaakbenodighede, ernstig op. Dit is belangrik vir ons dat ons gaste 'n gerieflike en aangename verblyf ervaar. Ons sal stappe doen om te verseker dat ons huisies behoorlik toegerus is en dat ons gaste duidelik ingelig word oor wat beskikbaar is en wat hulle dalk moet saambring.
U voorstel om 'n gedetailleerde lys te verskaf van wat in die huisies ingesluit is, is waardevol en ons sal dit oorweeg om dit in ons toekomstige kommunikasie in te sluit.
Ons waardeer u terugvoer, aangesien dit ons help om ons diens te verbeter. Ons hoop om u in die toekoms weer te verwelkom en u 'n beter ervaring te bied.

Bittersweet visit.
We have been to Dunkeld Country and Equestrian Estate a few times and have always enjoyed it very much as the resort is beautiful and offers so much to do, however the unit we were in on this visit needs some maintenance. The bath was e.g. cracked. It would be nice if you get winter snails in the winter. It would also be nice if there were at least some cloths to clean and wash dishes with. We had to call the night of our arrival and ask for towels when we realized there were no towels in our unit. The pool pump was broken and it was also broken last July if I look at the other reviews so it seems like it's been broken for a year. I hope management realizes that some money needs to be spent on the resort to keep it such a lovely destination.

Peaceful atmosphere and activities.
Our stay at Dunkeld Country and Equestrian Estate was truly delightful. The photos accurately depict the splendor of the estate, and the setting is quiet and peaceful, with plenty of activities for guests of all ages. We particularly enjoyed our time at the Equestrian Estate, which offered luxury accommodation. However, we found one aspect a bit uncomfortable, namely the proximity of our unit to other guests. Although the accommodation itself was modern and well built, we were sometimes disturbed by noise from adjoining units. For our next visit we will choose accommodation that offers more privacy. When it comes to overall value for money, I can say our unit was spacious and well-equipped, although we would have appreciated little conveniences like scissors, coffee, tea, sugar and a hairdryer. It also rained one night and it got into our unit but we couldn't clean it because there was no mop available either. The staff at Dunkeld Country and Equestrian Estate were attentive and helpful at all times, ensuring our accommodation was clean and ready every morning. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Dunkeld and would consider returning in the future.

Nightmare
Not nice at all, I booked a Country Villa but ended up in Holiday club cottage, the condition of the house was absolutely battered to say the least, the cleanliness appalling, the furniture old, what bothers me the most is the absolute cleanliness which was shocking. I have been booking through you guys for many years and I would love to forward photos to prove the point. The accommodation per night is not cheap and one expects much better standards, there were also no braai tongs, we had to borrow one from the neighbours. I feel bitterly disappointed, will never use them again.

The Country Villa as advertised is not worth the money.
First of all, the unit we booked is not the unit we got at all. The general maintenance is poor, the cupboard door is broken and crooked, blinds don't open and close well and just generally look tired. The rooms have no heater or aircon at all, the main bedroom is a freezer, there was at least an electric blanket but without it no one would be able to sleep in that cold room. The kitchen leaves a lot to be desired, the cutlery is barely enough for the amount of people the house accommodates and it looks like different sets of things have just been thrown together. There is no microwave at all, even though the unit advertised one. The pots and pans and braai tray are old and don't even have lids that fit them. The "sofa beds" as advertised for children are definitely not sofa beds, rather just ordinary sofas that are so cooked and stretched out that no child can comfortably sleep on them. There is also no proper dining room table as advertised, just a kitchen counter to eat at. Dunkeld is supposed to be a very well looked after place as it has been a sought-after location for years but the maintenance is poor and shabby. It's not worth it at all and if you look at all the other reviews that have the same feedback, they just don't care at all about listening to feedback or improving.

We were very disappointed with how it turned out.
Accommodation was very disappointed. Maintenance is so behind. Place looks neglected. Broken places everywhere. I have some photos. Cobwebs everywhere, found spider in bed, rooms smell of miff. There were only 3 tall glasses for 10 people. 2 rooms did not have bath towels. Break stairs' tiles that can cut your foot open. Rotten pot with very old soup found in the cupboard. Says 3 Kings but was 1 King, 2 double beds and 2 with single beds. They just throw the dirty black bags outside, horses in the night they come to shave open and eat out of it. Reception people were very friendly and helpful but the accommodation was horrible!

Geagte Chris,
Baie dankie dat u, u opmerking oor die toegangspad na ons oord met ons gedeel het. Ons waardeer dit opreg en verstaan die belangrikheid van veiligheid vir ons gaste. Ons verstaan dat die teenwoordigheid van 'n informele nedersetting langs die toegangspad bekommernis kan wek. Dit is egter belangrik om te vermeld dat die voorkoms van informele nedersettinge 'n uitdaging is in verskeie gebiede regoor Suid-Afrika. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het oor die jare verskeie inisiatiewe geloods om hierdie uitdagings aan te spreek en alternatiewe behuising aan gemeenskappe in informele nedersettings te bied. Dit is 'n lopende inisiatief, ook in ons provinsie. U veiligheid en gemoedsrus is ons prioriteit. Ons waardeer u bekommernis en die geleentheid om hierdie saak te bespreek. Baie dankie vir u besoek aan ons oord en vir u ondersteuning. Ons sal voortgaan om ons diens te verbeter en die veiligheid van ons gaste te verseker.

A breathtakingly beautiful location and natural beauty, but a lot of attention to detail with some renovation is needed at the resort. Curtains were full of cobwebs, bedding was stained and some of the light bulbs were dead. Otherwise a lovely place to recharge the soul and rest in nature. The cottage could also do with a few more pieces of furniture and/or a loose carpet, sparse furniture makes the cottage feel a bit cold and impersonal.

Didn't have a nice stay. Braai area was not cleaned. Wine and drinking glasses, plates dirty, had to wash again. Mattress in room very old and slept through. Door in bedroom does not stay open, hinge broken. Bedding very old. Hot water in bath trickled in with a thin trickle. Sink in kitchen clogged and not a plug either. Cutlery of a very low quality, not at all appropriate for the price we paid. Reception only answered their phone (office and after hours number) 1x.

Geagte Gas,
Ek vertrou hierdie antwoord vind u in goeie gesondheid.
Ek wil graag my verskoning aanbied vir die ongemak wat u ondervind het tydens u verblyf by die huisie. Dit is teleurstellend om te verneem dat die huisie vuil was en die bed nie opgemaak was by u aankoms nie. Ek is egter verheug om te hoor dat dit vinnig reggestel is om 16:00 die middag. Ons sal verseker kennis neem van hierdie voorval en ons prosesse hersien om soortgelyke situasies in die toekoms te voorkom.
Ek verstaan ook dat u slegs gesig-handdoekies voorsien is, en ek is jammer hieroor. Ons sal maatreëls tref om te verseker dat ons gaste volledig toegerus is met alle nodige geriewe om 'n gemaklike verblyf te verseker.
Die situasie met die koue warmwater swembad en die pomp wat blykbaar die vorige dag gebreek het, is ook betreurenswaardig. Ons sal ons bes doen om hierdie probleme in die toekoms te voorkom en sal sorg dat ons fasiliteite gereeld nagegaan en reggestel word.
Dit is egter bemoedigend om te hoor dat u die spa geniet het en dat die dames daar u goed bederf het. Ons sal dit aan hulle oordra as erkenning vir hul goeie diens.
Ons is baie verheug om te hoor dat u die omgewing en natuurskoon as ongelooflik mooi ervaar het, en dat u 'n rustige en veilige atmosfeer geniet het. Dit is belangrik vir ons om 'n aangename omgewing te bied waar gaste kan ontspan en die natuurskoon kan waardeer.
Met betrekking tot die beurtkrag, is ons bewus van die uitdagings wat dit kan inhou, en ons sal voortgaan om alternatiewe reëlings te tref om die impak daarvan op ons gaste te verminder.
Ons waardeer u eerlikheid en terugvoer ten seerste. U is waardevolle gaste, en ons sal altyd streef na 'n verbeterde ervaring by ons huisie. Ons sien daarna uit om u in die toekoms weer te verwelkom en u van 'n beter diens te voorsien.
Met hartlike groete,

Misleading, dirty and not worth the money.
What a shame. Dunkeld is picturesque and has great facilities, but unfortunately it doesn't make up for the disappointing accommodation. We stayed in a "County Chalet". The unit was very dirty. Window blinds are broken in the corner, living room sofas are in poor condition and the mattress doesn't even fit on the base of the bed, to name just a few. Three out of the six glasses in the cupboard were cracked. Unfinished patches everywhere. The photos are totally misleading with the layout, finish, furniture, equipment etc. which differs substantially from reality. We have brought the above to management's attention. They admit that the photos on the internet are of another "upgraded" unit and it doesn't sound like this is the first time these complaints have been brought to their attention. They did send a cleaner on the second day to at least clean properly as well as someone to fix the blinds which of course meant we sat with workers in our house for hours on the Saturday. Extremely weak!

Baie dankie dat u, u ervaring met ons gedeel het. Ons vra om verskoning vir die teleurstellende tyd wat u tydens u verblyf ervaar het. Dit is verre van die gehalte en standaard wat ons nastreef, en ons betreur dit opreg. Ons wil u verseker dat ons u bekommernisse ernstig opneem, en ons het dit onder die aandag van ons bestuur gebring. Die oord erken die situasie en besef dat dit nie ideale omstandighede geskep het nie. Onmiddellik is aksie geneem deur 'n skoonmaak- en herstelspan te stuur om skoon te maak en die vensterblindings te herstel. Ons erken egter die ongerief van die werkers in u chalet op Saterdag, en ons vra om verskoning vir die ongemak wat dit veroorsaak het, aangesien die eenheid nie op standaard was toe u dit beset het nie.

Disappointed.
After our booking through the website, the Dunkeld Country Estate emailed us to pre-order meals, game drives and massages. Which I did do on the website +/- 3 days before our arrival. On arrival there none of the preorder items were booked nor a game drive for the Sunday morning, because their vehicle was broken. After a long drive, one wants to at least check in earlier and not until 3:00 p.m. After we got the keys, we went to the room and there were no towels in the room and after I reported it to reception, they brought the towels. The two white armchairs that stood at the foot of the bed were very dirty. It was brown with hand marks over the armrests and back. I also reported this to the reception. The housing managers immediately came to see and arranged for the chairs to be removed and 2 other chairs were brought. The room is marketed as a luxury hotel room, but it is extremely disappointing to find the type of quality in the room. The room is also marketed with a queen size bed, but 2 beds are pushed together to create the idea of a large bed, but you can't lie next to each other then you feel the thick wooden ridge of the two beds pushed together is. I put effort into making our 19th wedding anniversary memorable and that's what we got. The deterioration of the resort can be seen in the buildings and also in the restaurant area. There were hardly a few bottles of soft drink in the fridges to choose from. The place is generally nice like this among the trees.

Beautiful but dilapidated.
The entrance, reception and living unit are very nice. But the maintenance of the housing unit is poor, the fish moths are overwhelmingly many! The bath plug's seal is a regular rubber band, the water always leaks out. The rock-climbing wall is out of order, the recreation center's store is out of stock, the putt-putt course is difficult but cute but there are only 4 clubs in poor condition and 5 balls. The pen we were given to write with is in 3 pieces and held together with cello tape. The table tennis rackets are broken and the pool table is in poor condition. The sofas you have to sit and relax on are so dirty you don't want to sit on them. The people who help you don't really know what's going on, each one gives different information than the next one. I can't comment on the restaurants we didn't use them. The amount per night does not justify what you get, especially if you go for the children because it is poorly maintained.

It's a shame that we simply didn't experience what we paid for again.
Place reserved for 4 adults and 2 children. When we arrived the cottage was not ready for 2 children. We had to ask at reception for bedding for the two children and they were paid for. There is no inventory - for a self-catering unit there was the bare minimum, not even a bowl with a lid to store food in, a pair of scissors in the kitchen drawer or a breadboard. They also do not service units on Sundays or holidays, which means over a long weekend there is no cleaning for two days. The restaurant only had good service the first night when Tshepo was on duty - after that it was slow and dismal. We also supported the spa and although they are very helpful, the therapists' nails are long and hurt terribly during a massage.

We were really looking forward to our stay at Dunkeld. Great was our disappointment when we checked in there. The house was terribly dirty, beds not made or floors washed. After complaining to reception, we went to town for a coffee and didn't come back until after 17:00. The cleanliness and hygiene were really not up to standard. It was a big disappointment, as the nature and the environment where Dunkeld is located is breathtakingly beautiful. I have never had such a disappointing experience through the website.

Very good location. Unfortunately rooms walk into 1 bathroom so you have to wonder who is in the bathroom when you want to use it. No effort is made to feel welcome in cottages. Reception makes no effort to tell you where to eat or where to buy wood for the cold nights. The Spa is not worth it at all. You can only enter your room at 16:00. Only 1 restuarant that can be used and not 2 as suggested. Hot pool is a small, cold pool.

Dunkeld is a beautiful place, but we were terribly disappointed in the service and "cleanliness". Our room's bedding was wrinkled and did not smell fresh (as if previous people had slept in it). Curtains have brown splatters on them, floors are dirty, carpets look like they haven't been washed in years. Staff at reception speak indistinctly and do not answer questions directly.

Disappointing and inconvenient.
We arrived at Dunkeld 6 hours after we were able to check in from 3 to receive an incredibly dirty room, the armchairs so dirty that when I went to complain about the condition of the room I asked for it to be changed. It was a light covering and so dirty I didn't even want to sit on it. The coffee station still had tea stains from previous guests. The art on the wall was off/gone. There were bugs and dust in the windowsills. The carpet had definitely not been washed in a very long time, because the light blue skirtings were almost black. The framed notification sign at the entrance door and the toilet roll holder in the bathroom were taken down and put back but the holes it made in the paint were never painted over. What are the standards for a room that costs you almost R2000 a night. Both chandeliers were so full of dust that the crystals didn't even reflect anymore, and some of the crystals from the light above the bath had been broken off and placed just like that on the top of the fireplace. After recording this, we gave up three more hours of our room until 6 hours for them to clean 'again'. It was incredibly inconvenient, because I had a meeting with an overseas team that had to take place on the laptop for 6 hours (and no available WiFi in the room). About ten before 6 in, skirtings were still black, they probably only dusted the skirting and wiped the counter and two too large public leather chairs from the reception, exchanged with the previous dirty armchairs. And a nice batch of Mr Min or something similar to inhale before the meeting. We then accepted it as such, just to try to rest for the little time we have left (3.5 days left). The next morning when I got out of the bath there were earthworms running around my foot and also dead bugs on the white bathroom mat. When we started to look around we saw that the whole bathroom was covered in bedbugs, probably more than ten taken. We then went back to the manager and said we book out, before 10. He said he would send a request for a refund. So our four day Dullstroom trip became a broken mess with a search for other accommodation the day before Christmas. I am not rested at all and quite upset that we put aside R7000 for what we hoped would be a very pleasant 4 days, back to the lovely room where we had our honeymoon two years ago. The expectations were completely shattered and you go through Christmas with a disappointed feeling in your heart. We are waiting for feedback on our refund from the manager and would not like to recommend the place to anyone.
