Accommodation exceeded our expectations. The garden is beautiful and creates a sense of tranquility from where you enter until you walk into the reception area. The decor and color scheme for the social areas as well as the room were absolutely stunning, selected with great care, and of a very high standard and class. We could not ask for a better and friendlier host that continuously ensured that we enjoyed our stay tremendously and that we are happy guests. Will revisit again in the future.
South AfricaThis facility is located at the end of a road in a forest with wonderful views. The quietness and tranquility is absolutely wonderful. Tjaart, Mariaan and their staff made us feel very welcome and took care of our every need. It was like a home from home. The breakfast and dinner was absolutely devine. There is a wonderful hiking trail through the forest for the more adventurous guests. The rooms are large and very comfortable.
South AfricaShangri-la is a lovely boutique hotel in a beautiful location. The staff were very friendly and helpful and on many levels. The views from the room were amazing and you truly feel that you have stepped out of your everyday world into this quiet retreat.
South AfricaThe incredible serenity and tranquility of the location. It really is a paradise on earth. The Manor itself is a combination of a beautiful English Manor and a tropical serene place in Thailand. The son of the owners was so kind and helpful, showing us around and helping us with everything. The hotelsuite was very spacious and comfortable and beautifully furnished. The bed was very comfortable. We had lovely hours sitting either at our own balcony, overlooking the mountains, or at the pool. The pool was exquisite; very clean and large enough to really swim instead of only dipping in. We had two more than delicious meals in the evening at the Shangri-la Manor.
NetherlandsShangri-La manor is the perfect place if you want to relax, chill and to be in the middle of nature. The rooms are very spacious, clean and have a nice balcony facing the forest. Juhan and the team are perfect hosts and really care about their guests! Breakfast was nice and fresh. Lunch and dinner are available on demand.
