This place is spectacular! I arrived as a solo traveler but I'm already planning to return with my husband and friends next time. The staff go above and beyond – from welcoming you with a drink to offering advice for a walk. The staff clearly like to make their guests happy and they were so fun to talk with! Dinner was exceptional; it was the best meal I had in South Africa. The menu has many courses and options to choose from. The kitchen accommodated by dietary restrictions without question – thank you! I highly recommend going for a late afternoon/dusk stroll and sunrise walk. It is safe; the animals keep a healthy distance. I saw impalas, blue wilderbeest, giraffes, and zebras on my walks. There is a great 5km roundtrip walk to a viewing platform on the back of the property - amazing views of the river and valley area at sunset. At sunrise, most of the animals were gathered on the front lawn. Other things you can do on the property: Take a dip in the infinity pool, sun bathe on the deck, request a drive of the property if you don't prefer to walk, read some books (they have many on wildlife and the history and culture of SA), sit by the fire, enjoy the cigar lounge, order a drink at the bar (it seems to have everything and you can ask for a drink anytime) and sit outside by the firepit. I wish I stayed for several more days to do it all!

Our room was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean (much like the rest of the hotel). The bedding and toiletries provided were of a high standard, and there was a general feeling of luxury. Fridge provided, along with kettle/tea and coffee. We very much appreciated the early check-in and the complimentary glass of wine. Wifi was strong and there was secure parking onsite. Added bonus of two beautiful in-house dogs! The owners were helpful and personable, and Amanda was kind enough to drive us to and from the train station in the hotel's own black cab. All the staff we encountered were friendly and engaging. The pool area was immaculate and set amongst very pretty plants. Comfy day beds, very clean pool, towels provided etc. We had dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, and both were good. Prices for food and drinks very reasonable. Would not hesitate to return if we're in the area again.
