Beautiful setting with mountain views. A real old world charm hotel. Pity it is looking tired especially the furnishings in the lounge and we felt it was overpriced for what you get. We stayed in Swellendam at a pristine establishment for half the price. We expected more and were disappointed.

Lovely setting, comfortable accommodation, excellent service and food. We only stayed overnight on our way up the coast, but we'd like to return and try the hikes and other activities.

This was a beautiful and luxurious stay. It definitely exceeded my expectations. It had a feeling good much like the Drakensberg resorts. We had a stunning room, comfortable bed, underfloor heating... Dinner and breakfast were fantastic. We went on two short walks along the well mapped out paths - stunning scenery. Without question I will stay again - hopefully a bit longer next time.
