    Nothing, it’s so well looked after it’s perfection.

    It was like paradise, loved the roses, the tallest most beautiful trees, the old world charm that was gracious and quaint. The horses the beautiful green hills, everything was close but you had your space, just gorgeous . The drive through Mooi River was a little sad, as it’s so run down, but as soon as you enter the property you are transported into a different world. The small details put in place to ensure you are comfortable was unlike I have seen. Truly remarkable spot right here in KZN. PLUS The breakfast was fabulous, with Parma ham, melon and delicious homemade muffins and followed by some delightful unique hot served breakfasts … plus one of the best cappuccino’s !!

    The bathroom floor heating didn’t work. It made the bathroom very cold.

    It was so stunning, beautifully done! It had such a luxurious feeling to it! With beautiful walks and stud farm tours.

    Just the road to the hotel in the snow was tricky and not easy to find on the GPS because it was dark and snowing

    The place was beautiful and the staff was amazing. Bab’ Cele was so helpful with our car that was stuck in the snow, and always greeting with a smile. Truly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in, I will definitely be back !!

    having to leave so soon.

    We loved the garden cottage - so luxurious, private and spacious. we loved the welcome we received , being taken to our unit and the care the butler took to explain all about the facilities and plan for the evening ahead. The tasting menu experience is of course amazing but the breakfast every time stands out as exceptional.

    I wish the milk could have been checked for freshness and replaced before we checked in.

    Our lakeside suite Siyabonga is one for the books. Loved the interior design,spaciousness and alignment to the lake. The sunrise is breathtaking from there.

    Would be nice for the Tennis court to be working and the dam to have fish in. My son is an avid fisherman and was looking forward to some fishing but there is no fish in the dam.

    What an incredible place to visit! The rooms are so comfortable, stylish and just a delight to be in. The food is SUBLIME! Tasting menu is a must! The kids went on a Stud Farm tour that they enjoyed so much! My son enjoyed riding the bike. I really cant wait to come and visit in summer to enjoy the spectacular gardens in full bloom. The staff are all so kind and caring! Thank you for an amazing time!

    Carrying all the bottles and other goodies to the breakfast table was a bit of a hassle. The dinning room in the evening a bit drafty - candle flame at 45 degrees? Bathroom louvres tilted such that someone outside could look down to see someone in the bath. (This is a common problem as people automatically close louvres from the inside not realising that they are making it easier for someone outside to look in.) We arrived in the dark, not sure where to park - sign hidden in overgrown foliage.

    All meals great. Rooms cosy, comfortable and of a decent size.
