We stayed overnight at Orion Mont-Aux-Sources. The room was clean and sterile, like staying in any hotel anywhere. We had a nice meal, but nothing to write home about. The location is excellent: right outside the Royal Natal park. We enjoyed playing miniature golf, although the golf course needs some repair work. I would have been satisfied overall, but paid...

A very nice location close to the Natal park. We stayed in the old (not renovated part). The beds were good but the rest of the accommodation really needs a refurbishment. Bathroom was really outdated. Also staff knowledge on things to do is very poor. They told us our booking was cancelled when checking in even though my cc was... More

The hotel is adequate although the food in the restaurant was overpriced (R190 for a very average buffet dinner), the location is great, so maybe that explains the price, although other restaurants in the local area provide much better value for money. The real area the hotel needs to improve upon is the knowledge of the staff in relation to... More

We stayed at one of the Chalets during in March/April this year and was very disappointed. The Chalet was outdated with broken and rickety furniture - all the dining room chairs were not safe to sit on and we had to ask someone to swop the outside chairs with unbroken ones. The kitchen was ill equipped with the little extraction... More

We had a pleasant stay generally at the hotel. The hotel is very close to the mountains but not exactly on the cliff face or right at the base and doesn't give you a direct view of the main mountains. The hotel is spaced out, and the feel is relaxed, airy and decongested. On the good side, the decor is... More

Our stay in this hotel was the lowest value for money of our entire 3-week stay in SA. The appliances in the room were not all working well (e.g. water coming out of the bath tub when used), and the overall look was of a hotel room that had seen better days. The staff in the restaurant was not friendly... More
