"First: The property is hard to find. Looking for 23 Lang Street per Expedia. But you have to enter 25 Lang Street. Why can’t they provide accurate directions? Very poor start. Second: The room is huge and clean and well-appointed. Oh wait, the architect forgot something. How about a bathroom door ! And bathroom walls that reach the ceiling! This place is for monkeys, not humans. Made for a unique experience that I’ll hope to not repeat. Somebody didn’t think this place through."

"Very good stay. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurants we attended were well serviced and the food good. Room clean and comfortable and well serviced. Bathroom Not originally as clean as I would have liked. Interesting water colour due to tannins so takes a bit of getting used to; hotel may want to advise guests. Golf service was not as slick as I thought it would be; missed out on maximizing our golf due to a shortage of golf carts for Montegu course; mislead on how “easy” it was to walk....
