Needs more activities - it’s so remote that you need more activities. Maybe horse riding lessons & definitely a spa. You have a spa “room” by the pool. Open it & use it on weekends. That better than someone setting up a table in your room. That’s quite disruptive.

The tasting menu was lovely experience, but we had to wait quite a while between courses. the second night we ordered from the menu while others were having the tasting menu. The service could have been better. maybe separate the tasting menu area from the rest of the diners who order from the menu. The staff at reception were helpful when we booked the sip and paint activity but unfortunately, they forgot to set it up for the time requested. Also, when we checked out it was not charged, we had to remind them which delayed our check out. Overall they were friendly and helpful

Reviewed Jan 1, 2026The breakfasts were great and offered a variety of dishes, even for people with special dietary needs. Service was good during breakfast. Sparkling clean breakfast / dining room, with windows being cleaned daily. Accommodation was superb. Lots of fresh flowers. We appreciated Lisa's assistance in directing us to Ardmore Ceramics
Dinners were disappointing. The 4-course tasting menu was overpriced and frankly nothing special - e.g. pap and aubergine course didn't impress me at all. To pay R 625 p.p. for this was unrealistic and a rip-off. Rather order a la carte. For the last 2 nights, we were requested to be seated for dinner at 6 pm. When we arrived at 6 pm, we were the only guests in the dining room, staff were still busy setting up tables, sweeping floors, lighting candles, and we waited quite a while for our pre-ordered meals to arrive. On the last evening: - I ordered my steak medium rare; it came well done. - My wife's food was cold and the sauce only arrived halfway during our dinner
