Welcoming indulgence set in a very restful setting.

Pros: The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We are returning customers as we previously enjoyed our earlier visit.

Cons: Only issue is that the access road to the estate has yet to be tarmaced but once you arrive at the property you realise that this is a very minor issue.

Perfect end to our holiday after indulging in the winelands. The anti-inflammatory food was tasty. We rested, worked o

Pros: The rooms are large and well appointed. The property is gorgeous and well furnished. Food very good and staff excellent. Gym very good with reformers

Couldn’t have wished for more!!

Pros: Beautiful location and facilities. Staff were brilliant, welcoming and very attentive and made the stay feel homely. Great food options for vegans too! Would highly recommend.

Cons: The road was being resurfaced on way to location but that is only a temporary issue.

Beautiful hotel, so much potential.

Pros: The interior design of the hotel is 5* luxury, the grounds are beautiful. It could be run so much better. So many nicely decorated areas in the hotel, could stay there all day long if it didn't seem so unattended in the F&B department.

Cons: This hotel could be charging three times as much if it had some atmosphere. They need to play down on the wellness and get some serious consulting around F&B which is completely lacking in all aspects. Unacceptable with such a beautiful hotel not to make full use of it's bar and restaurant. Team up with an international luxury hotel brand and the hotel will get it's missing life aspect. \

Very peaceful and relaxing

Pros: Breakfast very good, all meals are set menus would prefer to have a choice as lunches and dinners are set and you get what you get and are quite pricey considering you can’t choose and mains portion size is tiny.

Cons: Perhaps service at pool , to order something thing to drink from a menu
