Not as good as last year
Pros:

We stayed here last year and i gave it a 5 star review as we had an excellent stay, so good that we booked again for this year.

The hotel is under new ownership and i feel standards have dropped since last year.

Still the same - great location, 45 minutes from the airport. Close to Paarl and Franschoek with lots of wineries, restaurants nearby. Great golf course on site. Lovely spacious rooms. Choice of two good swimming pools. Sushi still great.

Changes. Hotel now has a separate entrance from the rest of the resort and feels disconnected. Breakfast choices in main restaurant are menu only and narrower than before. No fruit available. Would prefer a buffet. Back’s restaurant in hotel area offers different choices but it is closing so staff were worried about their futures and will mean a longer walk for hotel guests.

Biggest change is high speed buggies (see picture) driving at excessive speed in poorly lit paths to the hotel. Golf reception and golf staff at end of day were worst offenders. When raised with hotel staff they said they struggle to influence as a different organisation from the hotel. We had to jump out of the way on 4 occasions. I am concerned about safety for kids or those with reduced mobility.

Lots of positives about the resort but hope the new management team can raise standards.

Excellent place to stay for a couple of nights while touring South Africa.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel and complex in a gorgeous setting.
The rooms were spacious and exceptionally clean.
Breakfast good and the evening meal we had here as a big group was great.
Really enjoyed having a drink at the outside bar, overlooking the magnificent views.
Security to enter this hotel is extremely good.
Nothing not to like.
Weren't here for the golf but it looked outstanding if you were.

Luxury
Pros:

Cannot fault the room . Spacious, clean with all necessary features- drinks , fridge , fresh milk. Massive balcony overlooking golf course . Buggy to take you to the clubhouse.
Everything was high end .
Only thing I would fault would be the breakfast which did not seem to live up to the rest of the establishment with limited choice

A luxury stop
Pros:

The fifth of 6 hotels on our South African tour, this was a touch of style and luxury. Our bedroom, the word doesn’t do it justice, was very comfortably equipped and spacious. The bed and pillows so, so relaxing. We had a view of a part of the golf course and majestic mountains in the middle distance.
Food and service were excellent in each of the dining areas. All staff were helpful, courteous and cheerful. A big shout for the buggy drivers!

Passable
Pros:

The room was large and location lovely.

Cons:

Our room had a strange smell, I called reception and they changed our room to a cleaner room. Went to the restaurant near our room for dinner and while having dinner, we were greeted by roaches.
