The view of the mountain from our balcony was amazing. The only criticism I have, was that the hot water ran out after one shower on our second day there ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kevin Dec 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was good except food not up to standard ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### JJH Dec 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness #### Friendly and tidy mountain retreat Nominally clean and tidy.

Staff friendly and helpful but service on the slow side ##### JJH Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Owen Apr 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Stay with toddler over Easter. Stayed here for three nights over easter. Lovely location, lots of facilities, but could be in better condition (the childrens play room in particular seemed to have been abandoned). Nice walks nearby, good service, but clearly organised around large weekend wedding parties and not really organised for individuals staying during the week. Also, breakfast very expensive (possibly because they provide a massive buffet when there are few guests), netter to go across the road to the farm stop. ##### Owen ### 8/10 Good #### J Mar 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Houw Hoek Hotel itself is lovely. But room 64 which I was given was far from the main hotel - above the service quarters and the garage where motorbikes were stored (and used from 6.30am) this meant that it was quite noisy. Breakfast was nice. WiFi was strong even during load shedding. It would have been lovely to have a map or layout of the premises in the room as I had no idea of all the facilities available. ##### J Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lost its charm The hotel suffers an identity crisis. It positions itself as holiday resort but is actually mode a conference/events centre. Very noisy and not so classy neighbours disturbed our afternoon rest as well as late night sleep. I pity anyone who thought they could relax there in the evening because there were two noisy disco booming functions till midnight. The old world charm is no longer for this destination. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Norman Antoinette Dec 3, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Pack clothes for just incase. We looked so forward staying at Houw Hoek Hotel, but my goodness it turned so cold in Elgin and unfortunately I did not pack for that freezing weather. The end result we came back home with the flu. EISH!!! Having breakfast I discovered that the dining room is long overdue for an upgrade. The area where the cook serves eggs is very dirty. Such a pity because it is a lovely place to visit ##### Norman Antoinette Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Noncedo Dec 18, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Its am awesome place with excellent client service.

There are certain aspects that can be improved upon, namely; the pools need better upkeep, better play rooms for the children and more board games, the rooms could do with a microwave. The food at the restaurant was good even though we waited a lengthy period for it. The buffet breakfast is good, but it's the same thing everyday which starts to get boring. The area itself is somewhat boring so the hotel should make an effort to entertain the children. ##### Clinton Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KURT Dec 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Service Excellence My wife and I took a break-away before the Christmas rush started. From the time of our arrival until we checked out, we were very impressed with the facilities, service and all that Houw Hoek Hotel has to offer. ##### KURT Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Alexia Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great venue.

The valley is beautiful and the walk/MTB route behind is really lovely. Staff are friendly and the food is good as is the coffee. I enjoyed my stay in an excellent 3 star establishment. I recommend it. ##### Michael ### 10/10 Excellent #### EW Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### EW Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHANTAL Jan 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### CHANTAL Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pami Jan 4, 2025 ##### Pami Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Antalya](https://www.expedia.ca/Antalya-Hotels.d481.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vernon](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels.d10619.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Protea Hotel by Marriott Franschhoek](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Town-Hotels-Protea-Hotel-By-Marriott-Franschhoek.h1556523.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Drumheller](https://www.expedia.ca/Drumheller-Hotels.d55296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Comfort Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Fort-Lauderdale-Airport-Cruise-Port.h20087951.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Angeles Locos - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Tenacatita-Hotels-Los-Angeles-Locos-All-Inclusive.h182725.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Plantation](https://www.expedia.ca/Plantation-Hotels.d9128.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Tegucigalpa (TGU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tgu/toronto-to-tegucigalpa) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Lesvos (MJT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/mjt/toronto-to-mytilene) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ywg/calgary-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Liberia (LIR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/lir/winnipeg-to-liberia) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Lisbon (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lis/toronto-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Nisku](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/10547/flights-from-nisku) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Aegean](https://www.expedia.ca/Aegean-Flights.cA3.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Activities ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [All inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Jamaica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamaica.d88.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### Vacation Rentals ### General > [Visit Port Arthur](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Arthur.dx9383)
