Alessio Switzerland

Friendly staff. Great service. Comfortable and private stay.

Siphumelele South Africa

Easy check-in process. The rooms are a good size, clean and the pillows comfortable. The shower water was hot even through loadshedding. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as it can be. The bar lady was exceptional!

It was great, disappointed though on the first day, by the time we got there, there was nothing really left to eat, however, it was great on the second.
