Qwantani is a great getaway with breathtaking views and plenty of activities all in one place.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and courteous. The facilities are great. The accommodation was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the hike and the breathtaking view of the dam.

Cons:

There was a slight mix up on the booking vis-à-vis breakfast included. In the end, I paid separately. It could have been on the booking, not sure.

Beautiful stay away from city life
Pros:

Beautiful place with lovely surroundings. Everything was exceptional. Enjoyed all amenities including the fishing.The 20km un-tarred road is a bit hectic but lovely scenery around.

Cons:

The un-tarred road to the place is a bit of a drive but not too bad if you have a bakkie/SUV.
