“THE place to stay along the Garden Route”
A fantastic hotel with wonderfully appointed suites and extremely warm and welcoming staff. This place is a real gem - hidden away from the main town (and the traffic!) but close enough for easy access to the local amenities and the Garden Route. The proximity of the lake offers a wonderful vista at breakfast and a feeling of bringing the colourful and varied wildlife of South Africa to the hotel's doorstep. The suites are of super quality and in my opinion excellent value for money. You really couldn't ask for a better hotel, it is perfect - the attention to detail is everywhere you look! I was delighted.
