My wife and I had originally booked into the sister hotel of the Dutch House ( The Sun House) but when the management offered to show us round the Dutch house we were bowled over. One big plus was that for most of our 9 night stay we had the whole place (and staff) to ourselves. We live in an... More

Probably the best place i have stayed in world wide! You have to experience it for yourself, it's hard to say in a review what makes this place so special, for some it wont seem 5 star, but i am one picky traveller and this place had me from the moment i walked in, heaven! We stayed in the Ball... More

When we were told on arrival that we were being upgraded to the Dutch House as the Sun House where we were booked to stay was being renovated, we didn't know quite what to expect. But one peep into the cool recesses of the high-ceilinged living room filled with books, lamps and deep sofas convinced us we were onto a... More

I hardly ever write reviews. The small number of reviews for this property indicates that most visitors feel a similar selfish desire for secrecy when chancing on a gem. But not enough to vote Dutch House in the top 10 (Asia Hotels) of the Conde Naste Gold List 2010 – a huge achievement for a 4 room property. This was... More

We are writing this to give all those who read reviews the benefit of our experience and to put into perspective a negative, rather uneloquent review. We stay at the Dutch House twice a year and have done so for the last 10 years and can quite categorically say that every negative comment made in the last review is wholly... More

Though the hotel it self is a beautiful old house, we have experienced service that was far below standard and prices too high for what you get. Dutch house and Sun house belong to the same Australian manager, who walks around flamboyantly dressed and talks as she has is recovering from a hangover all the time. We stayed in Dutch... More

Wow what an amazing place, we felt like royalty, it was absolute luxury, completely sublime place to stay, from the most amazing rooms, fantastic service and unparalleled peace and quiet! More

We moved across fro the Sun House, part of the same group of hotels and still managed by Henri and her team. Whilst a different experience we were greatly impressed by the continuing theme of discreet, yet friendly service, the unabashed luxury and the peace of the infinity pool. We stayed in the master suite with it's high ceiling and... More

This is the most extraordinary hotel in which I have ever stayed. For a start it seems nothing like a hotel just a gracious and luxurious private residence. Doornberg is an authentic Dutch house dating from 1712 but was remodelled recently by the visionary Mary McIntyre (now running a spa in Perth.) It is sister with the Sun House, Taprobane... More
