Tolle Unterkunft zum Entspannen und Wohlfühlen
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, ruhige Lage, tolles Ambiente im denkmalgeschützten Haupthaus. Unser Zimmer „Chardonnay“ war sehr geräumig, das Bad sehr groß und hell, die Betten bequem. Sehr freundlicher und sehr guter Service. Frühstück a la carte und sehr liebevoll auf der morgens sonnigen Terrasse serviert, Schattenplätze sind auch vorhanden. Der Pool ist sehr gepflegt mit Blick auf die Berge. Sehr gepflegte, parkähnliche Anlage. Großer Parkplatz auf dem Gelände. Wer nicht mehr in die Stadt will, bekommt ein kleines Dinner, wir hatten ein wunderbares Curry. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt werden nächstes Jahr für 2 Nächte wiederkommen.

Cons:

Nichts.

Nice property in a beautiful location
Pros:

Fabulous location with beautiful views

Cons:

Gary was just a bit quirky. He said he hadn’t been bitten by mosquitoes which may be true but we all got bitten at the pool. If he said we could do with mosquitoe spray that would have been helpful.
He booked us a taxi who then ripped us off. Which wasn’t a disaster but it was annoying.
Then at breakfast got huffy when we chose a table in the sun not the shade.

Schönes Boutique-Hotel, nicht nur für einen Zwischenstopp empfehlenswert
Pros:

Sehr ruhige Lage in einer parkähnlichen Umgebung. Das Haupthaus ist im kapholländischen Stil gebaut.
Freundlicher Service von allen. Frühstück war sehr gut und wird serviert bzw. steht zur Auswahl am Tisch bereit.
Ich würde wieder die Gartensuite buchen.

Verwen jezelf op heerlijke ervaring.
Pros:

De prachtige suite (Pinot Noir), een fantastisch a la carte ontbijt (met echt alles erop en eraan) en het hartelijke personeel.

Cons:

We hadden hier ook graag gedineerd, zo goed was alles, maar de staff heeft ons geadviseerd en wilde graag voor ons reserveren in één van de nabijgelegen restaurants.
Geadviseerd werd niet te gaan lopen.
