Top Mashishing Hotel Reviews
Graskop Hotel
"Nice hotel in the town centre just round the corner from the shops. Interesting old building but the rooms were rather old. Good dinner, friendly staff, secure parking. Good value for money."
Cinzaco Dullstroom
"Enjoyed the room and areas around it"
Dunkeld Country Estate
"Great space in the 2 bedroom apartment we had. The internal doors couldn't close and we had an issue with the shower spilling out cause the drain wasn't flowing well. The restaurant food really needs attention - we had raw chips on both occasions we ordered (burgers & sandwiches) and the steak was woefully overdone with the second being good. Amazing space with great amenities for the whole family."
Walkersons Hotel & Spa
"Walkersons is a great getaway to the scenic countryside. Gorgeous views, relaxing and very serene. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the food at the restaurant is delicious. Make sure to try the Walforf salad. The unit we stayed in (Gretel), was clean and cozy, but has aged over time and needs a modern upgrade."
Angels View
"Room is very nice & staff was very kind & helpful."
