We are seasoned travellers and it takes a bit to impress us - but we were certainly impressed in Avondrood. Everything about it is absolutely perfect, from super convenient location walking distance to the centre with numerous restaurants and hop-on point for the winery tram tour, through private parking, and a lovely room with an absolutely gorgeous bath (after a month of travels and just showers, it was truly indulging to jump in!).
But it is the staff that really stand out - from the moment of our arrival Anna and Justin could not be any more helpful, be it booking a restaurant, advising on activities in the area, or arranging a last minute massage (I was desperate with pain in my neck/shoulder, and it was not easy to find a slot on such a short notice that wouldn't ruin our plans for the day - but Justin managed to - thank you!). You truly feel that you're a treasured guest, and that they take pride in taking good care of you.
Oh, and let's not forget the absolutely fantastic breakfast - with a great choice of high quality items, hot and cold, and of course everything served with a smile.
We stayed 2 nights but we loved it so much (including the beautiful area) that we'd recommend staying a bit longer if you can. If we're ever back in the area, we'd definitely stay in Avondrood again.
