Lord Milner: A unique historical building with all the modern comfort one can wish
Pros:

We stayed at the lovely "Swimming pool room". Very spacious and with a private patio and pool. The historical building is unique and well maintained. The breakfast table is one of the best we have had in South Africa - and we have travelled widely around. Superb, service minded staff.

Cons:

That we only stayed for one night.
