Very Nice
Pros:

All OK

Cons:

Staff at reception especially the lady parking "guard" who insisted we park in the overnight parking area some 200 metres from reception prior to check in. Her grasp of the English language is really poor and she was rude.

Fantastisch, uniek plekje met schitterend uitzicht.
Pros:

Betreft eten: ochtend , middag en avond heerlijk en divers buffet. elke dag ander eten. Waren er 3 dagen. Personeel super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Locatie is extreem mooi, mooie plek voor meerdere trails te wandelen maar ook om paard te rijden ( wel met ervaring ). Kamers zijn groot en mooi Afrikaans.

Prime location for nature lovers
Pros:

We loved the location of the hotel with beautiful trails starting right at the hotel, the room was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The wellness center has great therapists and both my husband and I had wonderful massages. We also liked the fact that there are guided walks every day. Our stay was too short.

Cons:

The food at the hotel was good in the evenings but very average at lunch (it is an all inclusive formula) and the coffee was average. The wine by the glass option was also average. The atmosphere was of a big hotel, the kids activities were not always organized as mentioned (mini soccer etc.) We would still go back whenever possible because of the prime location of the place, the confortable rooms and the SPA. We wouldn't hesitate.

A pleasant breakaway from city life. Great outdoor opportunities at a well-run hotel.
Pros:

The outdoor activities and the tranquility of our room made this an excellent choice. Staff interaction was really good - very professional and friendly.

Cons:

The food was good, but I expected a little bit more than this from a 4-star hotel. It seems as if the place in general needs a good renovation but it may also be that weather conditions impact on the general 'look' of the facilities
