Well done Andile!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Michelle Jun 17, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pre Comrades stay over Rooom didn’t look like the picture. We only stayed 1night, didn’t have breakfast there as we had to leave early. They did pack us a breakfast pack though. Not bad for a one night sleep over. ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ailsa, KZN May 31, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We stayed over for one night and enjoyed it very much. The breakfast was average with not much variety but there was enough. The luxury suites are enormous and with a lovely view over the valley. A most relaxing and comfortable stay. ##### Ailsa Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great mini break Enjoyed a lovely 2 day break with my wife.

It makes a great base to explore the Midlands Meander. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Staff service is very good and the breakfast at the lake side restaurant is great!! ##### BRUCE ### 8/10 Good #### BRUCE Apr 30, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great base to Explore the Midlands Meander St Ives is a great place to use as a base to explore the Midlands Meander. The property is home to Wildebeest, Zebra, Blesbok & Impala which are always a hit with kids. The units are kept clean and have everything you need, as breakfast is provided at the lakeside restaurant. For dinner there is the choice of the Boma Restaurant which is on the property, or a number of nearby restaurants. St Ives is conveniently located near Midmar, and being directly across the road from Piggly Wiggly is also a plus! We will be back!! ##### BRUCE ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuramathi Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuramathi-Island-Hotels-Kuramathi-Maldives.h1152540.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Stars Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Seven-Stars-Resort-Spa.h1927524.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Akumal-All-Inclusive.h869980.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Zanzibar](https://www.expedia.ca/Kiwengwa-Hotels-Melia-Zanzibar.h1407257.Hotel-Information) > > [sequence KYOTO GOJO](https://www.expedia.ca/Kyoto-Hotels-Sequence-KYOTO-GOJO.h46304712.Hotel-Information) > > [Beechwood B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Beechwood-BB.h18303560.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Montreal Metropolitan, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Hotel-Montreal-Metropolitain.h33679412.Hotel-Information) > > [Caribe Deluxe Princess - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Caribe-Deluxe-Princess-All-Inclusive.h1522117.Hotel-Information) > > [Pod Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Pod-Times-Square.h19681371.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [Arlo Wynwood Miami](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Arlo-Wynwood.h83625518.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Corfu](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels.d816.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.ca/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d44-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Liberty, a Marriott Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Liberty.h1680030.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bonner](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonner-Hotels.d3000445732.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Conrad-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach.h13346779.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Santa Cruz (FNC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fnc/montreal-to-funchal) > > [Flights from Chicago (ORD) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ord/mco/chicago-to-orlando) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Nairobi (NBO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/nbo/london-to-nairobi) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Richmond (RIC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ric/winnipeg-to-richmond) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Isla Mujeres (ISJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/isj/vancouver-to-isla-mujeres) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Mazatlán (MZT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/mzt/victoria-to-mazatlan) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Kingston.d6057821.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Utah Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Utah.d246.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit St. Lawrence Seaway](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lawrence-Seaway.dx6056010)
