Amazing
Pros:

Our room was spacious and lovely. We absolutely loved the food, especially the Saturday braai , the best! When I arrived, I wasn’t feeling well and asked to change rooms. The staff were very accommodating and honest that the available room would be a downgrade, which I really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

I would have loved to revisit for a longer stay but sadly the extremely poor roads will preclude us from doing so!
Pros:

Well appointed, comfortable and real class. Beautiful surroundings.

Cons:

The road to the hotel was extremely bad. I damaged 2 very expensive tyres on my vehicle. New tyres and call out cost me almost R18 000 to repair! 😢. We ended up arriving very late for dinner and although staff held the buffet for us, they were impatient and we couldn’t enjoy our dinner

Bellissimo posto
Pros:

Posizione fantastica e hotel dal fascino retrò. Possibilità di fare trekking o altre attività in loco (noi abbiamo giocato a tennis). Grande varietà di cibo.

Cons:

Forse è legato al periodo in cui siamo andati noi, ma una buona parte degli ospiti eravano persone molto anziane o con problemi di salute, a volte sembrava di stare in una casa di riposo. L’acqua durante i pasti viene fatta pagare.
