Waiters service excellent. Food not bad. We were refunded. Conditions of room is dirty and their were holes in bedding. Old candle with burnt matches lying in the room. The buildings are tired. You may not use the lawn by the river unless a picnic is booked. Bedding not premium. It has so much potential but if not seriously upgraded like broken chairs and hotel carpet in reception filthy it wont be open foe long. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5620570D81425851ED19BB68D77385BEF624C3DB1634561839083.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6DC78290CFD89FB3CB8F1883C81F9720446BF1BF1634561839221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E7792CFC77913E53F3413F7911888367EADAC5531634561827434.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Davin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy Sep 27, 2021 ##### Stacy Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louwrens Jul 11, 2021 ##### Louwrens Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Sophie Jul 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Sophie Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### . very clean, helpful staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Mamontsheng Jan 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort My stay was pleasant.
