Overall it’s was good stay
The view at this property is unreal! It’s definitely the best part of the stay. The house itself is kinda old. Due to the load shedding there is no lights in those hours, only Wi-Fi works. You hear noises from other rooms and lobby.
Not only were the staff amazing but the views are even better than the pics. Great rooms and super hospitality, thank you for turning our trip into a great trip.
We had a lovely stay. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We only gave them notice about my friends dietary requiremenrs when we checked in late afternoon and they went out of their way to have options available the next morning for breakfast. The view from the bedroom and lounge where breakfast is served was amazing.
Beautiful, with the most wonderful and helpful staff. Their muesli is homemade and absolutely lovely. The view is stunning and the rooms are cozy and nice. A perfect place to call home for a few nights!
