Safe. Good location. Food is well priced, drinks are expensive.

The chairs in the room need to be cleaned, and the area behind them must be cleared out; it looks like a junkyard.

Ons het baie lekker gebly by Sundown. Lekker geswem, geëet en geslaap. Die diens was goed en baie vriendelik.

Ons het die quad bike toer gedoen deur die bos en berg. Dit was awesome. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel!

Besonder aangenaam, bo verwagting ontspannend en dit was heerlik om so bederf te word.

Ons verblyf by Sundown Country Estate was heerlik. Die personeel is besonder vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die kos was uit die boonste rakke! Die kamer was baie skoon en gerieflik, al was dit oudmodies, was als steeds gerieflik. Die swembad en swembadkroeg was 'n wenner. Dit was uiters skoon en baie gerieflik. Die nuwe eienaars is baie aangename, vriendelike mense en is besig met groot verbeteringe aan die landgoed. Ek hoop om spoedig weet 'n wegbreek daarheen te kan onderneem.

Particularly pleasant, more relaxing than expected and it was lovely to be so pampered.

Our stay at Sundown Country Estate was lovely. The staff is particularly friendly and helpful. The food was top notch! The room was very clean and comfortable, although it was old fashioned, it was still comfortable. The pool and pool bar was a winner. It was extremely clean and very comfortable. The new owners are very pleasant, friendly people and are busy making major improvements to the estate. I hope to be able to take a break there soon.

Oornag verblyf

Het een nag oorgebly voor my fietswedren by Sun City. Was aangenaam verras toe personeel aanbied om 'n ontbytpakkie te gee aangesien ek vroeg moes vertrek. Kamer was skoon, groot en gerieflik, ek het vroeg gaan slaap met geen steurnis nie.

Lovely place. Seriously under staffed. Would go again.

Biggest issue was slow restaurant service. Did not even have breakfast on last morning. Was also told that the lady who made an error was going to be charged the difference. I felt bad so ended up paying it in anyway.

Aangenaam verras.

Na ek my bespreking gemaak het, het 'n aantal mense kommentaar gelewer oor die plek, en dat hulle nie daar sou bly nie. Wel, ek het met die intrapslag sommer klaar vir hulle fotos gestuur om hulle verkeerd te bewys. Die kamer is pragtig en ek het baie lekker geslaap. Ja, die gebou is oud en kan hier en daar bietjie liefde en aandag kry, maar oor die algemeen kan ek regtig nie fout vind nie.

Pleasantly surprised.

After I made my reservation, a number of people commented about the place, and that they would not stay there. Well, I immediately sent them photos to prove them wrong. The room is beautiful and I slept very well. Yes, the building is old and could use some love and attention here and there, but overall I really can't fault it.

Een nag verblyf nie ver vanaf Sun City.

Ons het een nag oorgebly nadat ons die NGC2019 by Sun City geniet het. Die hotel en kamers is oor die algemeen skoon, netjies en gerieflik. Die prys is baie billik. Ons het die aand die buffet geniet - die verskeidenheid was goed. Ons sal net aanbeveel dat die vleis nie só oorgaar en drooggemaak word nie. Die ontbyt die volgende oggend was vars en smaaklik.

Some of the staff members are friendly but the receptionists do not attend to you fast enough.

The rooms where very clean. The pregnant lady with the short hair at the restaurant was extra friendly and very helpful. The receptionist unfortunately not friendly and very slow, I felt like I could do their work for them. 70% of the time there was no electricity that was annoying. I personally wouldn't go back there.

They treated us with care and their food was also nice. However, the linen they used was brown and it had dust on. Hence, I could not sleep because of sinus caused by the dust. They must start using white bedding as we can see if it's dirty.

It is value for money. Convenient and close to Sun City.

Only issue had was that breakfast menu does not cater to all dietary requirements (example: if one does not eat pork (bacon) what do you eat?) All that was available was baked beans and mash. No mention was made of being able to have eggs first morning, self service breakfast. Menu needs to change / be enhanced. Bathroom shower, water pressure too high.

Basiese verbly sonder luukshede.

Naby Sun City wat dit maklik gemaak het om die golf by te woon. Skoon kamer, moes vir handdoeke vra. Kroeg het snoekertafel. Groepie plaaslike mense het geraas gemaak, musiek aangesit terwyl ons rugby kyk. Net na 5 die oggend het die hotelpersoneel ons wakker gemaak met hulle pratery langs ons kamer.

An older hotel, great value for money and close to Sun City.

The hotel is an older hotel. I found my room to be very neat and clean. Only 10 km from Sun City. It is ideal. Great value for money and so long as you understand that you are paying half the price of any other hotel that close to Sun City, you won't be disappointed. I found the staff fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. I will definitely use them again.

The hotel is nice and not far from Sun City which was our main reason for our holiday.

Reception staff were very helpful and nice but one of the domestic workers was unfriendly to us. Only one odd person does not mean the whole team were like that. The service is more personalised and if you do not complain they will take advantage of you. To get a good service you have to complain which is the only disappointing thing.

Aangesien ons bykans die enigste gaste was, was die verblyf stil en rustig.

Die hotel is afgeleef en kort opknapping. Desnieteenstaande was alles skoon en netjies. Die kos was van baie goeie gehalte en mens kan nie daaroor kla nie. Ek sou nie weer daar tuis gaan voordat die plek opgeknap is nie.

Naweek oorgeslaap weens geen verblyf by Sun City.

Die hotel buite kort baie opknapwerk, binne in die hotel is dit baie oud en kort ook opknapwerk, ons kamer wat ons gehad het was wel baie skoon en mooi (lyk of daar net een moderne kamer is) remote vir TV was nie beskikbaar nie, werkers was baie vriendelik (seker die beste, vriendelikste diens wat ek al ontvang he by 'n hotel), kos is goed geprys en waarde vir geld. Vir R1220.00 per nag was dit die moeite werd, maar ek sal nie weer daar bly nie.

The hotel outside needs a lot of renovation, inside the hotel it is very old and also needs renovation, our room we had was very clean and nice (looks like there is only one modern room) remote for TV was not available, workers were very friendly (probably the best, friendliest service I have ever received at a hotel), food is well priced and value for money. For R1220.00 per night it was worth it, but I would not stay there again.

The place is a bit dated for the rate paid.

The facility needs to be upgraded. The rate is too high for the facility. The dinner and breakfast was great. 10 out of 10 for the restaurant staff.

Goedkoop met goedkoop diens.

Ek en 'n Switserse vriend het 2 kamers bespreek. Geen druk in sy stort of wasbak. As ek probeer stort, sukkel ek om die temperatuur reg te kry wat nooit gebeur nie. Toe verkies om te bad wat baie lekker was, om net te ontdek dat dit lek en ek uitklim om in 'n dam water te trap. Ek moes die toiletdeur permanent toe hou om die geraas van die toilet te blok wat nie wou ophou loop nie. ('n Gemors van water!). 'n Bluetooth speaker het verdwyn uit my sak. Klag gelê en jawat, wie sal dan nou erken as daar geen bewyse is. Geen kameras. Daarna besluit om self my kamer skoon te maak, want wou nie elke dag reis met my sak nie.

Cheap with cheap service.

Me and a Swiss friend booked 2 rooms. No water pressure in his shower or basin. When I showered I struggled to fix the water temperature, never managed to. Therefore I chose to take a bath, which I enjoyed, only to discover that it was leaking when I got out and stepped in a puddle of water. I had to keep the toilet door permanently closed to block out the toilet noise as the water didn't stop running (what a waste of water!|). A Bluetooth speaker disappeared from my bag. Laid a complaint but yes, of course they wouldn't acknowledge if there is no proof. No cameras. After that I decided to clean the room myself, as I didn't want to travel with my bag all day.

Sundown Ranch Hotel.

Good: The food was amazing! Peace of mind, staff is friendly, service is excellent and the fact that you have security guards around made us feel safe. The place is in close proximity with SunCity, that is good. Bad: You do not have fridges, to store our cold beverages as well as food that would be left over as you can imagine the place is hot during the day. The fact that cars are parked outside and not in the shade is very bad. The furniture, though old which we appreciate, but it needs to be comfortable as well. Improve: Please have tents for the cars. Consider having bar fridges as that will make the guests more happier.

Although the hotel needs some renovation because the building is getting old, we really enjoyed our holiday. The hotel is close to Sun City. Food was superb, the staff is very friendly and most of all the booking was very easy and quickly.

The food was excellent, but the rest was not great.

The TV did not work and the toilet made a noise, also when other people turned on their taps, there as a screeching noise which was very disruptive, especially when you are trying to sleep.

The hotel is easy to access and very close to Sun City.

The hotel aircons were not working in some of the rooms that we booked, and the temperature ranged between 36 - 40 °C. We had to open windows the whole night. We had no control over the aircons. We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and the rooms were cleaned daily. The first dinner was a disaster, the chicken was raw, so the chicken and prawn curry was a disaster and we did not eat the food. On the third dinner we waited for 45 min without getting a starter, after which we decided to take the food as take aways. I had included the dinner in my booking which amounts to +-R190 per person and at the dinner I was told that I could only use it for food and not drinks. The next day I cancelled the dinner and demanded monies back, after a long fight with the manager the money was refunded and I had an option of buying dinner at the hotel or getting it somewhere else. Breakfast was excellent for the duration of my stay. The food was nicely prepared and I could eat and drink without any extras expected to be paid from me. The furniture is very old: torn chairs and the bed made a funny noise, old mattresses which were not so comfortable. The swimming pool was well maintained daily, the kids could spend time playing. Beautiful setup around the pool and bar area. The garden is clean and the staff are friendly. General comment: don't stay at the hotel for too long, only book B&B. The hotel is situated very close to Sun City and has easy access to the main road.

Poor.

The roof of the room we slept in was licking and apparently there's nothing they can do about it. We got one room with 3 beds for 3 adults and 2 kids. Who does that really!

Sundown Country Estate 's response

Thank you for the review. Herewith our response:
We had above average heavy rainfall on Christmas day and the day thereafter – as you know this was the case all over South Africa. There was a leak that we only became aware of because of the heavy rainfall.
Our executive housekeeper and my colleague Angie Molefe – the assistant front-office manager did go to the room and confirmed that there was a leak. We explained to the guest we do not have any other family rooms available to move her to due to the Christmas period and we apologised for the inconvenience. She said that is fine they will stay in the room as the leak was not in an area that was affecting them that much.

Our top management gave this guest a fruit basket with a small champagne as an apology for the inconvenience that we were not able to sort out at that stage. This leak has since been fixed.

Their group consisted of 3 adults and 2 children. Our Family Rooms have 1 king-size bed, a sleeper-couch and a single bed in 1 sleeping area. We cannot place a 3rd single bed in the room as well – as the room is too small for this. She spoke with me at reception and the reason she was unhappy is because the 1 adult was a male – and apparently she was not aware that the Family Room is 1 sleeping area with all the beds in 1 room.

I explained to her that on the TravelGround site we do explain exactly how the room looks and what it consists of. She advised that she was not aware of this – whereby I tried to assist them by giving the male guest a single room for himself at lowered rate. She thanked me and said she appreciated that I tried to assist. And that was the last I spoke with her.

We, as an establishment, tried our best to resolve this.

Teleurstellend.

Definitief nie 4-ster nie - die ligging is die enigste pluspunt en ja dis skoon, maar vir R1600 per nag is die plek afgeleef en oud. Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie. Die kontroles van die lugversorging en TV het nie gewerk nie. Die badkamer is oud en toilet wat lek. Die vrae wat julle vra wat die "rating" bepaal is nie akkuraat nie.

Disappointing.

Definitely not 4 star - the location is the only positive thing en yes its clean, but for R1600 per night the place is decrepit and old. Will not recommend it. The remotes of the air con and the TV did not work. The bathroom is old and the toilet leaks. The questions you ask to determine the rating are not accurate.

Gerieflik naby aan sportvelde, oornaggeriewe netjies en die restaurant bied waarde vir geld.

Ek het hier oornag tydens my seun se kriekettoer (by die sportskool), die oornaggeriewe was netjies, en ek beveel beslis die restaurant aan vir ontbyt en aandete.

Just few things to bring to management's attention.we checked in at 16:00 but the room was given to us had a smoky smell lingering in it. We noticed couple of spiders by the main passage which is an indication of lack of pest control. Other than that the service was superb and the booking was very easy to make.

Mixed reaction.

The staff was friendly. The service during dinner was bad. I also think you need to put a board (with lights) that is visible for people to see from the highway especially at night. It is easier to miss the hotel when you are driving. This was the case when I slept there few years back and no improvement.

Verwag gemiddeld en jy sal nie teleurgesteld wees nie.

Ons was vir 'n naweek by Sundown Ranch en dit was 'n gemengde ervaring. Die positiewe: Die kamer was skoon en gerieflik. Die hotel is ook baie skoon en tuin goed versorg by die swembad area. Ontvangs het seker gemaak ons waentjie met produksie dekor is veilig vir die naweek en uit hul pad gegaan om ons gerus te stel dat dit opgepas sal word. Die restaurant kos se kwaliteit is goed genoeg met 'n aanvaarbare verskeidenheid. Daar is 'n kroeg met grootskerm om sport te kyk. Daar is 'n groot swembad vir die kinders. Maar, die negatiewe: Op die eerste aand moes ek 3 keer ontvangs bel om dinge soos die TV afstandbeheerder, genoeg handdoeke en koffie uit te sorteer. Op die tweede dag het ek dit maar net gelos - daar word nie baie aandag aan basiese detail gegee nie. Die hotel is oud en meubels ens. het aandag nodig. Die TV kanale is beperk, veral as jy kinders het. As dit koud is en die kinders kan nie swem nie, is daar ook nie iets anders vir hulle om te doen nie. Geen klimrame of ander speelplek nie. Ontvangs het vir ons gesê dat ons nie die tennis/netbalbane mag gebruik nie, want dit is vir die skoolgroepe. Algemeen: As jy naby Sun City wil oornag, maar nie baie tyd by die hotel gaan wees nie, dan is Sundown Ranch seker nie 'n slegte keuse nie. Wees net matig met jou verwagtinge en jy sal tevrede wees.

Expect average and you won't be disappointed.

We stayed at Sundown Ranch for a weekend and it was a mixed experience. The positives: The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is also very clean and garden well maintained by the pool area. Reception made sure our trailer with production decor was safe for the weekend and went out of their way to reassure us that it would be taken care of. The restaurant's food quality is good enough with an acceptable variety. There is a bar with a big screen to watch sports. There is a large swimming pool for the children. But, the negative: On the first night I had to call reception 3 times to sort out things like the TV remote control, enough towels and coffee. On the second day I just left it - not much attention is paid to basic detail. The hotel is old and furniture etc. needs attention The TV channels are limited, especially if you have children. If it's cold and the kids can't swim, there's nothing else for them to do either. No climbing frames or other play area. Reception told us that we are not allowed to use the tennis/netball courts as they are for the school groups. General: If you want to spend the night near Sun City, but won't be at the hotel much time, then Sundown Ranch is probably not a bad choice. Just be moderate with your expectations and you will be satisfied.

Reasonable priced and very close to Sun City - Will stay again

Had a very nice stay, food was lovely. We love to go to Sun City and this is very close - 10 km. We stayed in a family room, only two things we didn't like - air-con was squeaking and the shower head was not flowing to full capacity. Must add we only slept there, during the days we were out. We got a 70's feeling of the hotel - if you are the modern guy this will definitely be something to adapt to.

Good hotel but in desperate need of renovations

The hotel staff are very friendly and the room and hotel it is kept clean but the building needs renovations and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Proximity to Sun City & other attractions is great and it was easy to find but they really need to renovate or at least get new beds. I wouldn't recommend it to friends because there are other hotels on the same road that are most probably more modern with better facilities at the same price.

Basically, for a value for money sleep over, it is fine. Breakfast was great. However, there is an underlying smell which gives the feeling of the hotel being dirty - but admittedly it was clean. Think it's just that the hotel is getting old.
