We stayed for one night in the rooms with the thatched roof. Whilst this was a novelty, there was a downside. The room is well equipped and the beds very comfortable, with white clean linen. However on closer inspection, one side of the bed was covered in bits. We brushed this off whilst we unpacked only to find it covered again. Dust, bits of twig and bugs fall from the thatched roof where the beam is. My partner and I ended up sleeping in separate beds. We had a buffet dinner, very nice beef. This hotel does not offer gluten free bed or cereals (I am Coeliac). However, eggs, omelette, bacon, yoghurt and fruit are available. Read less

This was the dirtiest room I have ever stayed in. This is owned by Marriott? Perhaps they forgot to ever clean it... It looks nice on arrival and the staff is friendly. other rooms were cleaner but since i only stayed one night i did not change rooms. I told them on check out and they apologized. Food is edible at best

Each rondavel is set apart for great privacy. All the boxes are ticked for guest comforts. Fabulous linen and towels, great amenities and a breakfast served, freshly made by lovely competent and friendly staff. Highly recommended

We stayed here one night and it was our first stay in a rondavel (excellent!). Not sure why this hotel isn't rated more highly as it has lovely rooms, plenty of greenery, a varied breakfast and a decent pool. Quiet at night. Would definitely stay here again if in town.
