Need a bit of love and a decent Chef!
Pros:

Lovely location. Nice room with a river view.

Cons:

We went for the all-inclusive with dinner and breakfast. Im afraid the dinner was absolutely awful, one of the worst meals I've ever paid for. From start to finish, there are no redemending features, definitely not a chef in charge of the kitchen. I would suggest forgoing the meal and eating elsewhere. Breakfast was better. On the up side, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. That said, you need a degree to turn the lights on, and the bedside light were only there for decoration as they didn't work. It's clear the whole place needs a face-lift. With a bit of tlc, it could be an exceptional hotel.

Für einen kleinen Abstecher in die Wildnis ganz nett, als schnellen Zwischenstopp nicht zu empfehlen
Pros:

Die Lage ist etwas besonderes, weg von den üblichen Touristenrouten. Wenn man dort 2-3 Nächte verbringt und die Gelegenheit nutzt sich ein Hausboot zu mieten, ist das eine nette Abwechslung. Wir haben das Hotel gebucht um die Anreise nach George zu halbieren. Dafür ist die Lage nicht wirklich geeignet, da die Anfahrt-/Abfahrt jeweils ca. 30km über Schotterpiste erfolgt, was ca. 50min dauert und einen kaputten Rücken verursacht.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr einfach ausgestattet und hat etwas schmuddelig gewirkt

A gem waiting to shine
Pros:

This little place has so much potential. Beautiful location and gardens. Crossing the Breede River on the pont is a highlight.

Cons:

Our first room was dark and outdated. The bathroom had an open shower which is not a good idea. The manager kindly moved us on oir second nigbt to a family room which was much bigger and had a proper shower and view.
