An excellent three star hotel which deserves a higher rating. The rooms are scattered around the site in single-storey thatched roof buildings, grouped around three swimming pools; an idyllic setting in well-maintained gardens. The rooms are clean, large, high ceilinged - you look up into the pitched thatched roof. There is no air conditioning but the large fan located over... More

We stayed here at the end of November2011 having flown to George in the Western Cape. The hotel is beautifully laid out and the accommodation was very clean and spacious. The cost of the meals is similar to that of the UK, but the wine is cheaper and of excellent quality. Its location makes it ideal for visiting the Western... More
