Even though this is just outside Pretoria, it felt like we were in the middle of the bush. It was peaceful with all the necessary luxury touches to make our weekend break super enjoyable. And seeing the herd of Impala while on the walking trail was definitely an added bonus.

I was there for a university if Johannesburg CERT workshop. The place was exceptional. It was beyond my expectations. Loved my stay. Serene, quite and the food was out of this world in terms of taste and variance.

This is a great getaway in the bush, but less than 1 hour from OR Tambo. The whole environment is amazing, the room was wonderful and the food, delicious!!

The place where it is set up is very peaceful. The place has no noise as the restaurant is away from the rooms..The Bom Area, which is the bonfire option, is really a thoughtful gesture. One sits at the bonfire, and time stands still.

Good venue to host Conferences and workshops. The service from staff and management was very good. Excellent food and clean comfortable rooms. Some attention to the TV situation is needed urgently. Looking forward to returning for a more personal and relaxed visit.

The best room I've ever had. The service was a 10/10, staff was amazing. The menu can be improved with a wider selection of meals and snacks, I was disappointed at the limited amount of snacks. My only disappointment was that the bathroom did not have bathroom mats close to the shower and the bathtub, I hate to step on the floor straight from bathing.
