Comment from Hotel Management

Thank you for sharing your recent experience from The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. I am delighted to see that you enjoyed the stunning views at the lodge. Your comments in regard to the music have been noted. As far as the flowers are concerned, we have a florist which brings fresh flowers and cares for our plants, but perhaps they had been recently refreshed or sprayed during your stay which gave them a deceptive sheen. That said, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you again.
