"Excellent, value for money.
By far the nicest rural resorts i have stayed in across SA.
Traveling for work and the room was perfect to wind down in from a long day. Even the food from the restaurant was very nice.
Look forward to my next visit."

"Our room had a panoramic view over much of the golf course, which is beautifully designed and maintained. Even had a game (9 holes) though we are definitely not golfers!
