Such an overrated place
The booking indicated we would have a bathtub - we had a shower. It indicated a 5 star rating with turndown service. Nobody in this institution knows what is a turndown setvice. They apologised vehemently but never rectified it. The chef's food is all that was nice, however, breakfast is very basic for a 5star rating place. Will never go back here

A Very Special Hotel You Must Experience!
This is actually our third time staying now, feels like coming home. We absolutely love this hotel, Leonora is one of the best hotel managers anywhere, and both she and Corli always make us feel so welcome every time we are here. Our kids adore the large koi fish in the ponds, and the food is all farm to table and delicious! And the gardens, pictures just don't do them justice, the fragrance of the jasmine and roses is something that can't even be described without experiencing. This hotel is a must stay!

Urban Oasis in Pretoria
We had a little mix up on arrival when our rooms were not adjoining, but like all five star hotels they made it up, and then some. The grounds are like a fantasy land, and the koi fish were an absolute favorite of our daughters. The meals are all fresh farm to table cooking (from the gardens and livestock on the property). All in all a hidden gem!

Leider waren wir von unserem Aufenthalt ein wenig enttäuscht. Es waren leider ein paar Dinge die unserer Meinung nach in einem 5 Sterne Hotel nicht vorkommen sollten. Das Personal war wirklich sehr freundlich und nett, nur leider auch ein wenig gestresst da es an unserem Ankunftstag eine Party im Hotel für einen Gast gab. Wir hatten bei unserem Check in keinerlei Infos zum Zimmer bzw. zu anderen Dingen des Hotels, im Zimmer lag auch keine Infomappe, der Safe war noch von vorigen Gästen verschlossen und konnte nicht geöffnet werden da der Schlüssel nicht zur Verfügung stand. Was uns sehr gestört hat, war das man als Gast des Hotels eigentlich den gesamten Barbereich und die Aussenterrasse am Tag der Party gar nicht nutzen konnte, es waren dort so viele Menschen und es war irrsinnig laute Musik, so gar nicht unser Geschmack. Wir mussten regelrecht aus dem Hotel flüchten. So hatten wir uns das nicht vorgestellt, da wir eigentlich ein Hotel mit wenigen Zimmern und als ruhig beschrieben gebucht hatten, dem war leider nicht so. Was auch sehr unangenehm war, das die Temperatur im Restaurant beim Frühstück und am Abend extrem kalt war, deshalb haben wir auch Abends dort nicht gegessen. Für uns rechtfertigt die Performance leider den bezahlten Preis nicht, wir haben in privaten Guesthouses schon um viel weniger Geld, viel angenehmer und komfortabler gewohnt. Bei unserer Abreise war man meinem Mann auch nicht beim Gepäck behilflich, wir hätten uns das schon erwartet.

Highly recommended
Very nice, new and clean place (on an old farm premises, however very close to the highway and city). Early check-in was no problem, coming straight from the airport. We rally enjoyed our stay, lunch and diner at The Rasmus and will certainly come back on our next trip to SA.
