The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly. The pool and gardens looked great. The only downside was the noise from a cistern that seemed to run all night and then the early morning traffic noise, but I would recommend. ##### Charmaine ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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) > > [Mabula Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bela-Bela-Hotels-Mabula-Game-Lodge.h1559026.Hotel-Information) > > [Tsala Treetop Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Tsala-Treetop-Lodge.h1030430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingdom Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moses-Kotane-Hotels-The-Kingdom-Resort.h6792618.Hotel-Information) > > [Glen Afric Country Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broederstroom-Hotels-Glen-Afric-Country-Lodge.h27136993.Hotel-Information) > > [Gondwana Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Game-Reserve.h4145102.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Ivory Tree Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Ivory-Tree-Game-Lodge.h5994597.Hotel-Information) > > [Kariega Game Reserve - Main Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenton-On-Sea-Hotels-Kariega-Game-Reserve-Main-Lodge.h4576469.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Rhino Ridge Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hlabisa-Hotels-Rhino-Ridge-Safari-Lodge.h9401037.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Inverdoorn-Private-Game-Reserve.h3131643.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Polokwane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Polokwane-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Polokwane.h17771611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hartford House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mooirivier-Hotels-Hartford-House.h27344764.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) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Garden Route Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Albertinia-Hotels-Garden-Route-Game-Lodge.h2917158.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Mhondoro-Safari-Lodge-Villa.h11522151.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Bush-Lodge.h526966.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.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) > > [Tshukudu Bush Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Tshukudu-Bush-Lodge.h1201423.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) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
