I had a wonderful time at the hotel with its great bush views just 45 minutes from Joburg. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the team provided amazing views of the Bush. However, my room wasn't ready upon arrival.

The countryside hotel offers spectacular views and a great sense of seclusion, making it a perfect spot to disconnect from city life. The rooms are lovely and well-equipped, although the soundproofing could be improved for better relaxation. The service is top-notch, with quick and attentive responses to all needs. The dining experience, while good, may have slightly limited options, and the location, despite its remote feel, provides easy access to both nature and city life.
