Pros:

The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite! That really made the experience that much better. When I say staff, I extend this to the security guards at the entrance gates as well.

Séjour agréable
Pros:

La vue sur les drakensberg, les départs de randonnée au pied de l’hôtel , large choix de cuisine .
Activités nombreuses comprises dans le tarif pour les enfants qui ne voudront plus sortir d’ici.

Cons:

Toilettes communes pas hyper propre, nous avons dû demander 4 fois avant d’avoir finalement nos taies d’oreillers . On a jamais eu nos serviettes de bain. Heureusement qu’il y avait les serviettes de piscine.

Lovely place for a family break
Pros:

Food was generally good - breakfast was definitely the best in terms of choices of foods available. Food did run out if you didn't eat in the first hour of a mealtime.
The lunch selection could have been better - maybe by adding more salad and veggie options.
Comfortable room - we were 3 in the room but were only provided with 2 towels.

Cons:

The protests on the road into the hotel. I think guests could have been warned.

Wonderful experience, would recommend.
Pros:

Amazing views, location cannot be beaten. Rooms are clean, activity schedules are really good and engaging. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

Cons:

Sometimes the food was not as hot as it could be, and be great to have an adults only bar.
