A lovely overnight for our family
Pros:

A pleasant surprise in the heart of Dullstroom - perfect for a stop over on the way home. Comfortable rooms and beds - perfect for a family with 2 kids. The restaurant was an added bonus and we all had delicious meals!

Cons:

Dullstroom electricity went off briefly and there were no candles / solar lights as back up. The restaurant did have a generator but not linked to our cottage.

Pleasant stay. Toilet seat needs repair in unit.
Cons:

The restaurant ambience was great. The food was inedible. Hard dry hamburger. Prawn rissoles dry and hard to cut!
