I stayed at Rodwell House as part of a wedding party who had book it for exclusive use. The staff were really excellent from start to finish.

I arrived a lone female traveller to The Rodwell and was immediately asked if I would like to watch the Rugby SA v Wales......... SA won, but with a glass of wine after a tiring journey, I didnt seem to mind that much. Out of season the hotel was quiet and the weather sometimes a little wet, but my visit... More

Our stay at Rodwell House was very comfortable and pleasant. The location was perfect for all of the day trips we made during our visit. We enjoyed the winemaker's dinner very much - it was a great way to meet people and learn about South African wines! Breakfasts were delicious and the staff always helpful and accommodating. Loved the fact... More

We stayed for our honeymoon in March 2011, it was lovely, the rooms large, the service impeccable. Very relaxed, gardens beautifully kept. Short walk to other resturants for lunch, and short car journey to many more. Would reccomend to anyone, and would love to go again! More

You will first notice the exquisite artwork adorning the walls as you arrive in the lobby. Staff are friendly and efficient. Perfect for a wine, food or art lover as all three are exceptional here (especially... More

We had a fantastic stay. We we travelling with a 3 & 1.5yr old and hotel suites and staff could not have been more welcoming or wonderful.
