    fantastic views and charming access to local attractions

    the beautiful mountain range surrounding this hotel made our stay feel like a special mountain escape while being just a short walk from the charming Dragon Rock Reptile and Nature Park, which was a hit with the family!

    amazing food
    beautiful hiking trails
    room size discrepancy

    We had the best time here! The food was incredible and always so fresh, and the hiking trails were simply stunning and peaceful. On the downside, the room wasn't as large as the photos suggested, but we'd still choose this place again.

    While the dining selection is varied, the evening menu does trend towards repetition, making meals feel a bit predictable during longer stays. The overall condition of the rooms is a concern. they show signs of needing updates, with issues like outdated air-conditioning units and a few maintenance oversights such as broken shower heads. Navigating the grounds can be a challenge on sloped paths, especially for anyone who may find mobility difficult. Plus, the absence of designated family relaxation areas away from the pool can feel limiting for those looking to unwind comfortably.

    outdoor play area
    beautiful lawns

    Family with children paradise

    Had a wonderful time, especially the kids. They loved the outdoor play area and the beautiful lawns to run around on.

    It wasn’t affordable , but still reasonable for what we got.

    friendly staff
    refreshing break

    This place suits me perfectly with its free wi-fi, poolside snack bar, and children's play area. On my first stay, the staff helped return my forgotten belongings, and their friendly approach is always appreciated. I recommend trying the outdoor swimming pool for a refreshing break. I'm coming back for a city trip!

    beautiful gardens
    dedicated staff
    impressive food
    temperature issues
    weak shower pressure

    The gardens are exceptionally beautiful and well-maintained, making for a lovely atmosphere. The hiking experience with Mr Protus Ngwane was unforgettable—his dedication shines through as he even found and returned my lost glasses from a spring waterfall. The food quality is impressive, and the pools are wonderful for relaxation.

    The shower's temperature was difficult to regulate.

    comfortable beds
    clean linen
    wifi issues
    view obstruction

    The room was spacious and super clean, which I really appreciated. The beds were comfy with great quality linen, making it easy to relax after a long day. Plus, they provided bubble bath, which was a nice touch! The view from the room was stunning—really heavenly. the WiFi was a bit of a bummer. it kept disconnecting during our stay. it was a comfy spot to unwind.
