Very Good

This was a complete surprise, only half an hour from home nestled in the Cradle of Humankind it's really easily accessible and just waiting to be discovered.
Service Levels were top notch, food was pretty good and the beer cold.
Overall a really great weekend away with my better half, its recommended without a second thought.
First impressions are great but a but lacks finesse along the edges when you look deeper.
* Taking into account the costnper night:
* Room trimmings are cheap and sometimes cheaply repaired.
* We had no water in our room for a day.
* Lack of tranquility as our room overlooked the service road with golf carts and staff noisily moving past our unit all the time.
* Food was excellent but service was shocking. On two occasions out waiter did not present wine with tasting first. He just started pouring and filled the red wine glass to the brim. Our orders were taken down incorrectly all the time. Some food was presented without the main ingredient as they had run out but no communication. Menus were left on the table during the meal. We had to ask for rolls and salt and also service.
One would not expect this lack of staff training and poor service from an establishment of this calibre and price range.
Staff very friendly and we had a good time. Not good value for money.
The service by restaurant staff was wonderful and the food was good. Our dinner however was impacted by a very rowdy group which spoilt what was intended to be a romantic dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday. The place is clean. Lights leading from room to restaurant would be helpful - very dark for a walk if you choose not to call for a cart. Our stay was ok but I don't feel that there I got real value for money and i certainly didn't feel that I got the special experience I was hoping for
Beautiful setting less than 30min drive from the heart of JHB and Sandton. Spent just a night with my wife. But its perfect for a quick weekend or midweek away, right around the corner for Joburgers.
Tranquil setting, easily accessible.
Friendly, attentive and helpful staff throughout the property.
Rooms with stunning peaceful view.
The rooms are eco friendly built, need a bit of a refresh but still comfortable and enjoyable.
Wish they had a better coffee in room like pods or french press.
