Heerlijke plek onderweg naar Kruger vanaf Jiohannesburg
Pros:

Mooie locatie op doorreis naar Kruger vanaf Johannesburg met een heel goed restaurant.

Cons:

Het was nog fris dus houd daar rekening mee. Wel heaters en open haard in de kamers.

Pros:

Roaring fireplace, hot water, and excellent service. Huge wine and whisky lists and super cosy restaurant/bar. Lovely grounds for a stroll. They even went out of their way to find us a TV box so that we could watch a FIFA World Cup match in our room by the fire!

Cons:

Only one minor issue would be there was no alternative heating method in the room, and although there was an electric blanket, it meant the room was rather cold in the morning.

Pros:

The staff were amazing

Cons:

husband said a draught beer machine would have been nice and maybe an hour fishing at the dam. Spa was a bit of a let down, that can be worked on a bit more

Pros:

Breakfast not included.

Cons:

Real milk to go with the sachets of coffee and tea and at least a bottle of water would go a great way to make one feel a bit more at home. Some TV instructions will be great.
