    • Staff very friendly and room was clean
    • Passable
    • Good stay

    Cons -

    • Restaurant was very slow and told it was a busy day. The hotel should make arrangements in line with the bookings. Their failure to plan should not affect guests.
    • they were short staffed at the Grillhouse.only one friendly lady was on duty.she had to juggle around like a crazy person. when we arrived the reception area was empty we had to wait for about 20 minutes before a friendly guy came to our rescue.
    • The room was on the ground floor closer to parking. Parking of cars and people coming and going was extremely noisy

    Entrance hall looks welcoming and th stairs look like a hotel

    Reception. There was no one. When the lady came she had an attitude and claimed she was there. Poor customer service Room was small.Bed cover was torn Only one bottle of water in a room booked for 2.One little soapThis room could easily be R800

    10CeloPosted on: 10-9-2023

    Convenient it’s so easy to find and it’s clean

    3ZandisilePosted on: 9-19-2022

    The room was clean

    The service at your restaurant was very slow she took time to serve us with drink let's not even talk about food

    6VerlinPosted on: 5-12-2022

    fairly Neat and tidy

    noisy toilet, leaks continuously.room was smaller than expected. could hear neighbours snoring. Breakfast was okay. no coffee machine/pot for breakfast.

    5ThamiPosted on: 5-2-2022

    Decent. The long periods waiting and with no waitress in sight were a drag. Breakfast took too long on both mornings

    No fridge in room. A necessity for medication.

    10SizeniPosted on: 4-30-2022

    The view, attitude of the staff was exceptional, the food, the rooms was excellent,,everything was ln a good standard, I will be back again

    10BiancaPosted on: 4-22-2022

    7HenriettePosted on: 3-30-2022

    Room was nice

    Restaurant was empty, no atmosphere. Big menu, but most food not available.

    5UnknownPosted on: 7-14-2021

    Rooms are beautiful

    No one at reception upon arrival and staff was not welcoming at all... had to open gate myself... just not welcoming

    5PumlaPosted on: 7-1-2021

    Breakfast was good.

    The service was horrible and I've had better service from BnB's, I wouldn't recommend it and definitely that was my first and last time stay there.

    5CherenePosted on: 6-30-2021

    Rooms are clean and staff are friendly. Good wifi.

    Communication was bad. As lockdown level had been increased, hotel did not know if they could accommodate me. Took over an hour to confirm. Did not inform us to preorder breakfast. Supper was served in polystyrene containers which we had to collect. Did not receive what was on the menu. Paid for supper with my card and no receipt printed, so was asked to send proof of payment via SMS. Burger patty was not well cooked and not all items ordered for breakfast were provided. I know that we are living in difficult times but I feel the hotel could have been more accommodating.

    9TsotetsiPosted on: 6-15-2021

    Everything was fine

    For breakfast we were waiting it at 6h00as per our agreement but its came at 6h30,while we were in the rush to Durban to our appointment of 7h00,so by that we run out of time

    1HaniffPosted on: 6-11-2021

    The breakfast was mediocre.

    The attitude of the staff especially at reception. The person by the name of Dean was very unhelpful. The quality of the food was terrible. The pal e is way overpriced for its standard. It’s a glorified backpackers club.
