Wow. What an exceptional stay. Beautiful thatched accommodation with good sized family rooms and well-equipped bathroom. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice, and evening meal was a delight too. The location of this accommodation adjacent to a watering hole attracts lots of wildlife. For example, a giraffe came for a drink during the afternoon. JP (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife and his tours are wonderful. Don’t miss out on the bushwalk with a local ranger for a different aspect on wildlife in the park.

Everything was amazing, safe, central and great value for money. Really luxurious apartment with beautiful scenic views. Esme the host was extremely helpful with providing local recommendations and helpful organising return trip to the airport.

It's exceptional , stunning and amazing

Our stay at the Motswari Retreat was amazing! The rooms were beautiful, so thoughtful decorated and well equipped, the meals were delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Desmond, the manager, is extremely friendly and was always going above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Marius, our guide, and Erick, our tracker, were excellent as well and we appreciated how passionate and experienced they were. Our chef, Eva, and her team were fantastic and every meal was outstanding, especially the outdoor bonfire/grill night. We cannot say enough great things about the Motswari retreat!!

Beautiful property, the staff were very friendly and accommodating to any request!

Our stay at Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge was the highlight of the holiday. Danell and Wienand were wonderful guides and hosts and made us feel very welcome at this beautiful Lodge. Andrew and Siphiwe looked after us at the Lodge and we enjoyed every meal. The team at Ivory Wilderness work well together and make sure that you are well looked after.

This place is amazing, location, views and unreal rooms. From check-in to check out everything was exceptional a warm welcome. Staff made our celebration simply unforgettable. The boutique hotel is a real treat, extremely manicured, professional and clean. A wonderful service experience.

The hospitality of the staff working and the room was lovely

As far from a cookie cutter hotel experience you can get…comfortable, charming, luxurious oasis

A Truly Exceptional Stay – Highly Recommended! We had a fantastic stay at Derwent House Boutique Hotel! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and personal service provided by the entire team, led by the wonderful Luca. Everyone made us feel right at home. A special thank you to Anahid, who gave us excellent recommendations for local places to visit and dine – every suggestion was spot on and added so much to our experience. One of the highlights of our trip was a tour with Trish, an amazing guide arranged through the hotel. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made it a truly memorable outing. Our room was beautifully decorated and had a stunning view of Table Mountain – waking up to that every morning was a dream. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, with a great variety each day. We also loved the thoughtful touches like the complimentary soup and cakes served at night, and the attentive day and night turndown service. Derwent House went above and beyond in every way. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality. We would return in a heartbeat!
