Voldoende
Pros:

Ligging van hotel op route van J’burg naar Kruger/Panoramaroute.
Grote, ietwat gedateerde kamer.
Prima restaurant met mooie (whisky)bar.

Cons:

Wifi op de kamer deed het niet en er werd, ondanks toezegging om ernaar te kijken, niets aan gedaan. Zou in deze tijd toch makkelijk op te lossen moeten zijn met hotspots of versterkers.

Most likely an annual retreat spot!
Pros:

The great service, spacious room and fireplace made it the cosiest solo stay. Staff was always attentive and on hand to start up the fires daily. Bonus is the Spa 😍

Cons:

Nothing! (*although I'd be a hater if I didn't tell you to have a look at the amazing heated towel rail that didnt work but it's a small nice to have so didnt mess up my experience 😉)

Excellent stay. Well worth it to stay over.
Pros:

A comfortable, easy accessible room with everything that is needed for a stayover.
Excellent and friendly staff.
Superb food with excellent waiters who like to spoil their customers. David is a knowledgeable, friendly and humoristic waiter.

Cons:

There was a problem with the power that dropped numerous times and no one came with a light of some kind or asked if we were okay.
