The room and palace hotel were amazing. It was a great way to start our trip to South Africa. The breakfast was delicious. Shuttle around the resort was prompt and the staff was very helpful at helping you plan activities. The resort had walking trails and a great pool. Pool isn’t heated in the winter but you can go to a nearby hotel to swim.
