Everything exceeded expectations. The hospitality was warm, the atmosphere was very pleasant. The breakfast was delicious, so we came back for dinner. If you ask, they will also give you a tour of the property. There is nothing to fault.

  • It was not clear that the wine pairing is an additional charge and not included in the already costly meal. R775 for the meal and R775 for the pairing per person was hefty. Drinks were also too expensive.
