Check-in was easy and efficient. We had a problem with our air conditioner, which was swiftly resolved after reporting the issue. Parking is conveniently located close to the rooms. Breakfast was good with a good selection of food. Overall, a good experience and good value for money. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wayne 17 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The chalets look a little unimaginative aesthetically. Needs a proper rethink. The pub/bar area is too sterile and would really need some decore investment. The wood and lighting should be old school dark to give it country atmosphere. ##### Wayne Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gillian 30 Nov 2023 Disliked: Staff & service #### Unhappy stay We booked through Hotel.com and requested a chalet 2 bedroom for 4 adults. When we arrived at 15h30 we were taken to a room with 2 double beds(No one queried this at the time) Not sure as my mom booked chalet for us. At 20h30 at night they came to tell us we in the wrong type of room and we have to pay more and change rooms. Firstly, why not say something at check in so we could have sorted it out than. Not at this time of night. We showed them the request of booking, the type of room and the amount we paid. They were not interested. They made us feel as if we were trying to sneak people in. Will never stay there again or recommend them. They need to understand customer service first. ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Konrad 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr schön mit einem grossen Beigeschmack Das Hotel ist sehr schön gelegen.

Although we did not use any of it, the kids activities looked good. ##### Elize Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Kay 13 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Family Value The Gooderson motto is 'Good value. Good fun.' I feel they achieve on the good value part at Monks Cowl (except their drinks prices at the bar), breakfast and dinner buffets were quite good. However 'Fun' comes at a price, whereas other resorts have free activities or they cost much less. Wi-Fi didn't seem to work during our stay. It is obvious that the resort has had some renovation but a few areas are a bit shabby. The linen and pillows on the beds had seen better days. I would still recommend it as a good value stay. ##### Kay Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Makawana 2 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Drakensberg stay over According to photos, the dam is full but when i went they the dam is dry? they don't keep veg and non-veg food separate ##### Makawana Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Pravesh 28 Dec 2019 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort Overall a good family resort.

Kids loved the rock pool and slide ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Sheryl 27 Nov 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A place to relax with children Our stay was very enjoyable and Gooderson Monks Cowl Resort really does cater for children of all ages and their parents. The only problem we had was with the diner as there was no \`al a carte menu available and two of the children are under the age of 10 who do not eat a lot of what was available on the set menu. The price charged of R150-00 per child is really not acceptable. A childs menu should be available at a more reasonable charge or the \`al la carte menu should be available for children 10 and under. Please note however, that the food on the set menu was really good. ##### Sheryl Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Was an awesome stay friendly staff and superb acco I think the restaurant can improve on their service as we had to constantly look for waitresses even in quite moments ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s901-pc05ff000-6627-11e7-a58e-2ab4820f5e46-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meggeshen 18 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We enjoyed the stay. The only issue was the restaurant for dinner. Unappetising meals and lack of variety. Far too costly for what was on offer. ##### Meggeshen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ntjantja 3 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great for small children It was wonderful. Service was very good, I could choose when to be in a quieter mode and when to socialize. ##### Ntjantja ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Loxley House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Road-Hotels-Loxley-House.h8767953.Hotel-Information) > > [The Estuary Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Edward-Hotels-The-Estuary-Hotel-And-Spa.h11733911.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Zulu Rock Lodge - Babanango Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulundi-Hotels-Babanango-Game-Reserve-Zulu-Rock-Lodge.h53812368.Hotel-Information) > > [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > > [Dolphin View Cabanas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umdloti-Hotels-Dolphin-View-Cabanas.h10410615.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Ardmore Guest Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardmore-Hotels-Ardmore-Guest-Farm.h15216694.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Marlin All-Inclusive Seascape by Dream Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottburgh-Hotels-Blue-Marlin-Hotel.h10019868.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Valley Lodge - Babanango Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulundi-Hotels-Babanango-Game-Reserve-Babanango-Valley-Lodge.h31783059.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandy Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Lucia-Hotels-Sandy-Place.h44888403.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Sands Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jozini-Hotels-Rhino-Sands-Safari-Camp.h29303627.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Drakensberg-Gardens-Hotels-Gooderson-Drakensberg-Gardens-Golf-Spa-Resort.h890693.Hotel-Information) > > [St Ives Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lidgetton-West-Hotels-St-Ives-Lodge.h15053557.Hotel-Information) > > [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > > [Curry's Post Bed and Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Currys-Post-Hotels-Currys-Post-Bed-And-Breakfast.h27154186.Hotel-Information) > > [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > > [Selborne Golf Estate, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pennington-Hotels-First-Group-Selborne-Golf.h4329711.Hotel-Information) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information) ---
