We booked The Country House based on staying at the fantastic Hunter's Gorah Elephant Park, which is truly outstanding and a 5 star experience in every way. We were recommended to what was originally called Hunter's Country House where the web site shows a superb picture of dining in the grounds, and states: "An old world ambiance permeates the thatched...

We stayed at Hunters for two nights and loved it. Our suite was in a thatched cottage in the gardens with its own private terrace which was wonderful. The gardens are stunning and the buildings and accommodation have a very English country feel due to the thatched roofs. The position of the buildings encourages you to wander through the beautiful... More

Entering on a short gravel road from the busy N2 lets you calm down. After passing the gate into the premisses of Hunters, Tsala and Zinzi you feel like entering into a botanical garden. Lots of green, flowers, bushes, trees in a perfect setting. Wish my garden at home looked just a little bit like this. On arrival we were... More

A nice property in a very quiet location in a forested area. Cottages have an old fashioned style, with heavy curtains and dark furnitur.

Hotel is in a very beatiful surrounding with nice gardens and very spacious and well appointed rooms with comfortable beds. The place is understaffed and although staff was friendly, helpful and comptent when available one had to wait longer than necessary for a hotel at this level. Internet is only available in the main lounge and for the duration of... More

This is more like a 1 star hotel than a 5 star. Please do not stay here if you are used to staying at 5 star hotels as you will be very very disappointed! It is the worst place I have ever stayed in!!!!! I repeat DO NOT STAY HERE. More
