Ideal hotel for an overnight before our flight to Cape Town
Pros:

Breakfast was very comprehensive and delicious. Far more than we could handle but that gave us many options.
Location was ideal as it was close the the airport but still in a beautiful forested area.

A good break away
Pros:

Breakfast was average. The cheese table had stale biscuits and stale danish pastry's. Definitely not good for business. Otherwise staff was very friendly.

Cons:

Wifi was not great. Power interuptions through the night. Not sure why the wifi can't accomodate youtube on TV. You cannot watch TV at night as you don't know what you are watching as the film has already started.
Maybe look into Netflix or youtube.
