"From the moment we arrived to the minute we left we felt so looked after. Unfortunately they resold the room we had booked and paid for - and were unable to move us to the correct room, as they were fully booked. However; they did offer us dinner in the hotel restaurant that evening, on them, which was gratefully received - and the food and wine was delicious! We only stayed for one night, but certainly enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and attentive staff. We especially loved that they serve...

"Truly a home away from home ! i arrived after 10PM at night and was warmly received by Jolie and her team who went out of their way to ensure that I had everything I needed throughout my stay. Each en-suite room has a TV and it's own bar fridge over and above the well equipped kitchen and dining room. The lounge has a massive LED TV with the full DSTV Premium bouquet so no shortage of things to watch with guests. A nice touch was having an ironing service available which worked out perfectly...
