"The resort was excellent - accommodation perfect (we had everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable) the pool, splash park and spa all top . The staff were conscientious, the kids activities were great. Located close to the Pilansberg with excellent game drive opportunities. Wonderful place for family holiday. "

"The only good thing about this hotel was that it is in a very beautiful location. It's on a hill, overlooking some amazing countryside. Unfortunately, it is terribly run. We didn't have hot water in our room for the duration of the stay - despite their best efforts. The kitchen was an utter shambles - it took them close to 3 hours to serve our lunch order, and more than two hours to get us our dinner order. There were serious maintenance issues in the room - the balcony door didn't work, many lights were broken. There was a safety light in the room that did work, but we couldn't turn it off and it was so bright that it attracted pretty much all of the insects in the area, and since the balcony door was broken we struggle to keep them out. The staff claimed that was our fault and spectacularly failed to provide us with insect spay. It was a bit of a nightmare. I should note also that this is a dry hotel (no alcohol), and pork products are not served. Clearly, we were not part of their target market - which seems to be middle eastern men who like to shoot and kill the animals, rather than just take pictures. Unsurprisingly, we were the only guests."

"On arrival we were told that we were booked in unit 2A. When we came back from our drive in the park I asked and was given the key to 2A. Then, when we told them at the reception that there was no grit in the shower and the heater did not work, we were told that we actually are in unit 1. I think his name is Victor, helped us to move ourb elongings into unit 1. He was so helpful and friendly. Hold onto him. Unit 1 was excellent. At 6pm two tired ladies went for dinner. Service was excellent and the food was tasteful and of good quality. Just a pity, the stock of venison steak had not been restocked as it was Monday. My friend from the UK would have enjoyed a kudu steak. Otherwise. We have no complaints. Breakfast and check out was good and friendly. (We ate much to much.) All in all: I had good service once again and I shall be back."
