Stayed overnight - we had a lovely large bedroom with a beautiful view of the mountains. Very large bed which was very comfortable. Very clean. On arrival the reception staff was friendly and took us to our room - walked through lovely gardens. Our only gripe is that when we went to the restaurant at night the young waitress on... More

Thank you so much for the positive and useful comments. We had some student helping out over the Easter holidays, so service was not up to our usual standards. We are a family run hotel with the slogan “Touch the Earth, Feel at Home”. We hope that our guest feel at home in our hotel. To us that is the... More

Thanks for the helpful hints. We had a lightning strike in the area that took out some lights, we have fixed the problem and all is well. We are also busy with a upgrade on the rooms and it should be finished in the next couple of weeks. More

Stayed the night recently as they hosted her wedding reception. What can I say, the staff were very friendly and went out of their way to assist in any way possible. The food was terrific. My mother is coeliac and we were reassured by the chef which food was safe (which I might add was only one dish!). Morning breakfast... More

We booked a two night standard room for a 2 night stay.We booked quite late and were surprised to get a room for the price that we did.The reception area looks great and the staff is friendly but where this establishment lets its guests down is with the condition of the rooms. It is stuffy and smelly...the bedding does not... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to give a positive review. People are often quick to criticize, a sort of emotional release. Not many find it necessary to give a positive review. It says a lot about you as a person. More

On the outskirts of George and in a bushy environment. We had a room away from the reception area and into the shrubs - although the scenery was beautiful, there were too many insects and little reptiles for our liking (found a frog in my shoe the one morning LOL); also though that the surrounding shrubs could be more tidily...

My dear, that is why people use the words Wilderness and Garden Route for this area. We do have nature at our doorstep. It is not for everyone, you are spot on with that. Thank you for taking the time to comment on our hotel. More

We paid for one night, R675 for two adults and one child and got a very poor room! The website is very deceiving! The bedding was not 100% clean as well as the towels.

We encourage our guests to absorb the tranquillity of the environment by lounging next to the pool, relaxing on the deck in the shade of the 100 year-old oak tree, listening to the silence of the mountain in a garden gazebo or having a drink in front of a blazing fire in winter. ... more   less
