Reviewed Jul 22, 2026The service from the moment we arrived! Alta was exceptional she couldn’t have done enough for us. She arranged breakfast and an airport taxi for us. She understood we needed to rest before our long flight the next flight and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. The views of Kloof from the pool at the rear of the Palace were stunning also!
Keep in mind it’s a guest house not a hotel so there is no bar or restaurant but there are loads of delivery services for food and groceries (Uber Eats) Alta also helped us how to arrange these deliveries!

Seems a bit tired and rough around the edges, miles away which is good and bad (if you dont have a car), lacking food & bev for casual relaxing on a business trip. Expectiations of a hotel for a business trip not there, more of a funky one night holiday b&b.

Reviewed Feb 14, 2026Amazing. Straight out of an African fairytale. We loved our stay. New details to wonder over with every step. The pool area is lovely. And Alta went out of her way to sort out a hire-car issue, and get us refreshments. Exceptional. Thank you so much.
The super steep bumpy driveway- although it made you slow down to really notice the amazing new things around every corner.

Reviewed Feb 8, 2026Our room, bathroom and balcony were very spacious and clean. The view was spectacular. The staff were very professional and welcoming.
The decorations in the hotel are very busy and overwhelming, so I would have preferred that the bedroom was free of any decoration. Perhaps just a few black and white pictures of the construction process of the hotel, or of wild animals, but definitely no more beadwork, etc. The old peacock feathers in the bathroom should be removed. There is a musty smell in the hotel and so doors and windows should be kept open to air the place.
