Overall stay was good. ##### Janya Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### For a novel night, it’s fun! Whooo woooo! We enjoyed our stay and breakfast - at an excellent price - but unfortunately my food at dinner - tagliatelli - was glutinous and almost inedible, so I sent back twice as much as I ate. Be aware that not all compartments have a sea view. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan 30 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir hatten 2x Royal Suiten und 1x Günstigste Kategorie gebucht. Die Suiten waren super und der Aufenthalt war ein Erlebnis der extra klasse. Blick auf das Meer aus dem Bett aus ( aber nur bei einer Suite). Kleine nette Lokale fußläufig Richtung Hafen 5 Minuten entfernt. Ich würde hier noch mal übernachten aber auch mindestens in einer Suite außer man möchte einen Hostel Vibe erleben und teilt sich gerne die Bäder mit anderen. ##### Jan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hubert 28 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I enjoyed it ##### Hubert Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erika 5 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities War ein Erlebnis, echt cool.

Beautiful view from compartment windows and lovely balcony too. ##### P.M. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kirstin Silke Imme-Mariel 25 Nov 2024 A special experience. Very nice staff Good breakfast ##### Kirstin Silke Imme-Mariel Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gina 7 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities Leider war unser Zimmer beim Check-in nicht mehr verfügbar (wir wollten um 15.00 Uhr einchecken und hatten ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad gebucht). Sie wollten uns dann in eine Kabine mit zwei Einzelbetten & ohne Bad verschieben, das kam für uns nicht in Frage. Das gute war, dass sie und danach ein Apartment in der nähe organisiert haben. Trotzdem MEGA schade, da wir uns riesig auf die Nacht im Zug gefreut hatten. ##### Gina Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gerhard 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Sehr schöne Zimmer - wohnten im Deluxe ROYAL A Wagon ##### Gerhard Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ## 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) > > [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) > > [Woodbury Tented Camp - Amakhala Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sidbury-Hotels-Woodbury-Tented-Camp-Amakhala-Game-Reserve.h9642577.Hotel-Information) > > [Botlierskop Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Klein-Brak-River-Hotels-Botlierskop-Private-Game-Reserve.h2991039.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) > > [Paternoster Dunes Boutique Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paternoster-Hotels-Paternoster-Dunes-Boutique-Guesthouse.h31911613.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) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Lush Private Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Lush-Private-Lodge.h24940930.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) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.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) > > [The Oyster Box](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umhlanga-Hotels-The-Oyster-Box.h2939964.Hotel-Information)
