Posto meraviglioso: camera spaziosa, bagno bellissimo e grande. Struttura immersa nel verde, silenziosa e con dei bellissimi spazi comuni
Moquette in camera Piccolo problema con la cena presso il loro ristorante
The size of our room and bathroom was amazing. There are several lovely lounges with fireplaces. The only meals we had were breakfast and that was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful.
We did not like the carpets.
La parte esterna molto bella con piante diverse e curate piscina anche se non abbiamo usufruito visto il periodo cena ottima ambiente interno curato e con camino acceso
La moquette e i tappetini nel bagno veramente antigienici
All good
Just the parking is a challenge
We liked the manor house experience. Elegant settings in the room and dinning room. We enjoy an excellent birthday dinner for a member of our party. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

Beautiful country house. Immaculate and full of marvellous furniture and features. Fantastic attentive staff and perfectly cooked meals. Comfortable and relaxing
Bit chilly with the large front door open on occasions otherwise nothing to dislike at all
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The garden beautiful and well kept. I appreciated the beautiful furniture and setting of the house. I felt very safe when coming home late at night.
There is not much that I think can be done better. It was not my first time making use of the accommodation it I was not disappointed.
Always friendly, spacious and hospitable
Dinner was amazing, generous portions. The staff was so kind to me, wrote me cute little notes in the morning. The bed was comfortable, oohh the bathroom was amazing. Please, the beds need an eletric blanket. They also gave me extra rusks which were to die for, homemade. Overall an amazing place to relax. The staff was very welcoming and accommodative.
I was a bit disappointed with the cleaning, when I left the guesthouse for a few hours, I noticed the floors weren't vacuumed properly in the room and the bed wasn't crisp.
Amazing find! Loooove the heritage vibe and attention to the detail
Great staff, stately home
Both breakfast and dinner were fantastic, the rooms are large and beautifully furnished and nothing was too much for the staff who were friendly and accomodating.
Old world charm with stellar service
Parking area a bit tricky to navigate if very busy .Aseoarate entrance/exit would help the flow of traffic
Lovely old world charm!!! Luxury home away from home!
The food at the restaurant we felt was slightly below par but otherwise very nice!
Absolutely everything. What a gem!
The property was very comfortable and clean! The staff went the extra mile. The room interiors were thoughtfully arranged.
The garden was lovely and so were the balconies but the presence of monkeys was unexpected - their presence meant we couldn’t really enjoy these lovely features f the property much.
Perfect location from airport if you start or end garden Route Tour. Lovely and well renovated mansion with large bathrooms
Blankets too heavy and bed little small for 2
Beautiful setting and excellent staff. This was our fourth time!
The antique set up, love it

Personal sehr nett und hilfreich. schöne altmodische ausstattung
The property and staff where lovely, will definitely be back to stay in the summer! It was like a little hidden oasis with a lovey room and garden and great food
Sehr freundlich und Ausstattung mit Sauberkeit sehr gut! Essen top!
Haben beim Abendessen eine extra glutenfreie Karte bekommen, mussten früh zum Flughafen und haben extra ein eingepacktes Frühstück (auch glutenfrei) bekommen. Das Personal war sehr nett
Den angebotenen Flughafentransfer für 450 R fanden wir sehr teuer und haben daher ein erheblich preisgünstigeres vorbestelltes Uber genommen.
Victorian and historic
Driveway
Old-warm hospitality, charm & style throughout the entire place. Was allocated the Madiba room, which has so many awesome features: the four-poster bed, gigantic bathroom, ball & claw bath, sun-soaked balcony...the list goes on & on. Lovely breakfast spread was laid down in the morning. Will definitely return in future for Hacklewood's high tea and dinner offering.
Nothing at all.
优秀,值得体验
The property feels like an oasis. Very peaceful.
The Victorian inspired design and decor pieces, how it’s hidden in plain sight is also a plus.
Parking space is narrow and limited
Very charming full of character
Beautiful decor, excellent meals, comfortable

Breakfast was great - loved the feel of the place. Also a very central location.
Everything was professionally run and smoothly operated
Beautiful renovated old Victorian home . Staff are well trained and very friendly . Beds are very comfortable. Food is fantastic and a great wine list. I will definitely book again
Beautiful property.
Historisches Haus mit gepflegtem Garten. Freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, das keine Wünsche offen lasst.
Muffiger Geschmack im gesamten Haus, infolge Feuchtigkeit. Grenzwertiges Ausblick aus den Zimmerfenstern in Vorhof mit grossen Tanks, Schöpfen, Müll und aufgehängter Wäsche. Hätte hier ein anderes Umfeld erwartet.
It was very clean and well maintained . The staff were extremely friendly and helpful
Power cut at 10pm . Limits your activities.
Perfect location for us, nice old world charm with modern facilities. Food was fantastic, staff helpful and rooms spacious
Pool wasn’t particularly clean, but end of season so was a little chilly to use
Beautiful property and grounds. Safe and secure and a very good location. Rooms are large and comfortable and staff are all lovely and friendly . Highly recommend this over a boring chain brand hotel!
Décoration Emplacement à côté de l’aéroport Qualité de l’accueil et les attentions Restaurant excellent
Beautifull, well cared hotel. Staff well trained and friendly.
Their property, the place & all the structure of this property is absolutely magical & historical. Highly recommend to anybody visiting the area. The Staff did their best to accommodate us and also highly recommend their dinner, great options and such a good fine dining experience overall.
Nothing was negative. I might only say that this is an older/classical property, so guests can expect that a few of the bedroom functions might not be as new as they would like.
Timeless appearance
Some of the decor needs attention. Pool clearly needs attention and a good clean. Breakfast service was a little slow.
Quirky in a beautiful period house . Very clean. Great staff . Great food. Nothing to fault
Very pleasant one night stay , lovely staff , no complaints
Ein Haus wie aus der Zeit gefallen. Lady Whistledown läßt grüßen. Ein schönes Erlebnis.

What a wonderful gem of a place, close to the airport, yet quiet and peaceful. The house was built in the 1800’s but has been well maintained and the quality of everything, from the Lavazzo coffee machine to the crisp bedding, was top tier. The service was outstanding too and we decided to have the dinner, which was tasty and satisfying. The hosts were professional and went the extra mile to organise us an early breakfast.
Wundervolles Ambiente, ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, das Steak beim Dinner war Spitze.
Tout !

We verbleven er de dag voor onze terugvlucht, ligging is geweldig: in een rustige wijk, omringd door groen en toch maar een paar minuten rijden van vliegveld vandaan. Een prachtige oude villa met liefde en zorg ingericht also het zo uit de Britse Country and Living komt. Super comfortabel en als kers op de taart een resraurant waar wij heerlijk hebben gedineerd.
Helaas zag het zwembad er niet schoon uit ( troebel water en debris erin ) en waren er wel erg veel muggen buiten, denk doordat de tuin continue gesproeid werd.
The room was very pleasant and had everything you needed and good bed linen etc. The house itself, decor, was beautiful. Dinner was delicious, the first two courses were excellent, dessert not so good. Paul was very willing. Brenda greeted us nicely and gave us all the info we needed.
The room was fine but not the soundproofing! With the old wooden floors, when people walked above you could really hear it, plus a lot of other things that would be indelicate to mention, concerning the bed above! It went on all afternoon, but luckily I was watching the rugby on the TV and my OH had his headphones on, otherwise we would have had to complain! So next time we shall have a first floor room. The breakfast was fine for one of us, but a DISASTER for the other. The other one had asked for soft poached eggs which turned out be like golf balls, just as hard. The blinis were not blinis, just very very thick slices of brown bread … not good enough. Not worth reordering as it took a long time to arrive initially. The green decoration on my cold meat and cheese plate was pretty dead. I could see that the previous nights chef was not on duty as she wouldn’t have sent the food out like that. Presumably there was no one there checking things.
Second visit, and still as special, a step back in time, will be back!
Everything.
Wonderful old style guest house with great staff and food.
One room weak a/c and one no toilet roll holder - nit picking here.
Interesting historical property. Great food.
The dinner was excellent , the breakfast was average
The breakfast
If you like dipping your toe into "yesteryear" and getting an idea of what life might have been like for the well-to-do in the early 20th Century (at least in the colonial era), then this is the place. Carefully preserved with meticulous attention to detail, this place feels more like a home than a hotel. Nestled into its own modest but private gardens with a majestic pool, there is little sense of the city beyond the walls. A beautiful hideaway. The dinner experience was similarly exquisite, with a real sense of being spoilt by both the opulence, and the quiet, efficient attention. Thanks, Nassor.
We loved the slightly antiquated locks and bolts, the original balcony and verandah. It's not supposed to look new and gleaming. Others may say some things look 'tired'. We thought it made the place authentic.
Wonderful setting, great history and glorious rooms (bathroom was exceptional!)
Very friendly staff
All good
El hotel es precioso y la atención fantástica. Habitaciones amplias, y baños muy bonitos puestos. La zona común de comedor y salones te hacen sentirte muy a gusto. Desayuno y cenas muy rico todo. No pudimos elegir mejro sitio para cambiar de año y empezar el 2026.

Beautiful property and would not have known so close to Port Elizabeth
