Lovely venue for a romantic getaway.

Lovely place not too far from Johannesburg for a weekend getaway.

Die kamer was puik, die res laat veel te wense oor.

Die gronde lyk verwaarloos, die eetsaalmeubels was oud met vuil kolle op die tafeldoeke en die sitplekke. Die upper deck voel of hy uitmekaar uit val met los vloerplanke en veilighiedsrelings wat los is. Onder geen omstandighede is dit 'n 4 ster hotel nie.

The room was great, the rest leaves a lot to be desired.

The grounds looked neglected, the dining room furniture was old with dirty spots on the tablecloths and the seats. The upper deck feels like it is falling apart with loose floorboards and safety rails that are loose. Under no circumstances is this a 4 star hotel.

The facilities are adequate, the service is really not up to standard.

Examples of disappointing service: We arrive at our unit on the afternoon of the coldest day in 10 years and it's a basement! Ice cold! No one thought to turn on the small air conditioner just yet. After we turned the air conditioner on full blast, it never turned off 'on temperature' all weekend. I.e. the heating was not sufficient. In the restaurant there was one fireplace against the far wall - at least one table's couple was warm, all the rest of the restaurant goers had to get cold. So the food also got cold almost immediately. Only at one of the 4 meals we ate there did the waiter himself remember to bring napkins, the rest of the time you had to ask again and again. Saturday night's dinner (in the colder restaurant) was like harmansdrup on a cold morning. We had to wait an infinite amount of time for our food, which of course arrived lukewarm. The menu is extremely limited for a 4-star hotel, at least one really expected more. The hotel staff were perfectly content to send a seventy-year-old aunt to her room on the top floor, without helping with the luggage. She had to carry her own bag up the steep steps. There were no towels in the restaurant's bathrooms all weekend. The liquid body soap in our unit's shower was not replenished and ran out by the last morning. Our unit overlooked the pool area. Saturday afternoon's jolly by the pool was accompanied by unearthly loud music - no rules were applied in this regard - which made it difficult to enjoy nature quietly from our little balcony. All small things in themselves, but they make a big difference to the holidaymaker's experience.

Dit was 'n fees!

Dit is die 2de jaar dat ek my verjaarsdag daar vier en ek dink dit gaan 'n instelling word.

It was a feast!

This is the 2nd year I've celebrated my birthday there and I think it's going to become an institution.

Would definitely recommend.

Our stay was sadly very brief as we were going to a wedding. It was a bit further from the wedding venue than I thought, but nonetheless a really lovely accommodation and somewhere I would stay again.

I had the best time ever!!!

It is so beautiful and peaceful. Close enough to the city, and far enough to forget all about the city. The service was excellent. Thank you for the effort you put into making it special for us!
