A lovely hotel with a great view of the lake. The room and buffets were excellent.
Pros:

A lovely old hotel. The room was very clean and well maintained. An extra bed was delivered and installed before we got into the room, which was great. Pool was good and clean. Great buffet dinner and breakfast. Lovely lake view.

Cons:

There were a lot of mosquitos here. Not sure what the hotel could do about this, but they were a pain.

Pros:

It was a very pleasant stay for us.
We had a really nice stay. The room was large, very clean, and came with a bathtub in the bathroom, which was perfect for mornings. The view of the lake from our room was beautiful and peaceful. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel had easy access to the safari park, which made our trip even more convenient.

Vegetarian options at the buffet were limited However, the staff kindly prepared a few extra vegetarian dishes for us, which we really appreciated.
