Reviews and Ratings
The boutique hotel has beautiful, clean, and comfortable rooms with a big bathroom. The gardens are in perfect condition and the restaurant offers great food with beautiful views. However, there were inconveniences such as broken safe not being fixed promptly, slow breakfast service with limited free drinks, and a lack of room service and baggage assistance.
The hotel offers large rooms that are adequately furnished, though there was a terrible odour of raw sewage masked by sprays. I would have loved a private veranda to enhance the lovely evenings during our wedding night. The highlight was the spacious shower and bath available.
The hotel made me feel special the night before and on the day of my wedding with thoughtful gestures, but there were issues with broken safe and slow breakfast service. The breathtaking views added to the overall experience, despite poor room service and parking challenges.
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing overall. The room was very small, we faced issues with broken safe and slow breakfast service, and there was a lack of room amenities like chairs and kettle. On the positive side, the room was spacious and well maintained with a nice bathroom, but it fell short on providing basic conveniences.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The breathtaking views and well-kept cleanliness were definite highlights. However, the room service and breakfast experience left much to be desired. The location on a wine farm with various activities was superb, but the inconvenience of certain services was disappointing.
