Nice property however the swimming pool in our villa was not available, nor was the larger pool outside our villa. So two out of three pools were out of order. Not great. But otherwise the villa was clean, functional etc and the staff weee great

What a fantastic hotel.
What a fantastic find this hotel was, just 30 minutes from Johannesburg airport. This hotel is well worth the 5 start rating and the service was excellent from our pick up from the airport to our return. Exceptionally good value. We would definitely recommend to other travellers.

2/10 Poor

nice from far, but far from nice
Unfortunately I was left very disappointed. - The room phone was faulty and I needed to walk to reception to get it attended to. - The AC power plug by the desk was not working so I needed to run my cable across the floor. - The irrigation system outside was not connected properly and spraying the patio and making a noise. The first request to repair went ignored and took a second request for someone to come repair, some 2 hrs later. - Microwave was faulty and was told that I would not be able to use it! No offer to replace or fix. - Ordered room service at 6.45pm. At 8pm nothing had arrived and I called reception. 2 min later a plate of ice cold food arrived. Sending it back, 25min later, I was then called informing me that they had run out of stock of that item. Chose a new meal which then arrived at 8.30pm, almost 2hrs after my initial order. - Upon checkout, I was billed for that same meal twice! - On advising the check out assistant of my disappointing stay, no apology of any sort, nor even acknowledgement of the issues was offered. It was clear that no training had been provided on how to deal with these situations.

This is a great boutique hotel. Rooms are roomy and extremely comfortable, spa and sauna in room, grounds are spectacular, excellent Resturant with indoor or outdoor seating, and a wonderful well trained staff.

4/10 Fair

The property is in a nice area and seems to have been nice years back.My experience (sept 14-17 2022) a bit of a nightmare.I booked one of the best rooms with a private jacuzzi.Room was stuffy and dusty.Furniture and decor is out dated and the So called private Jacuzzi didnt even work at all.The front desk staff has no Clue whats going on in the hotel and taking your grievances to them is a complete waste of time.This is just an average hotel which seems to have been great way back ,but now is just an average dumo not worthy to be called a luxury hotel.Was promised a refund for a night,but once i got back to my overseas destination,no one seemed to care and contacting them in anyway is a complete waste of time ,as no one ever calls,emails or contacts you back.Disgraceful how it can even call itself a 5 star hotel.Buyer Beware!!Dont believe all you see on their website..I gues those are the pictures from its early years.The place is stuffy and Musty .Most appliances in the rooms are rusty and as for the So called Jacuzzis..They dont work AND havent worked in a Long time(As i was told by the 5th WAITER who was sent to my room to "act"like he was fixing it.What a farce of a place..Nothing but a Bad experience here both from the hotel and the staff and management.
