Faultless. Utterly, faultless.
Faultless, absolutely faultless. From the friendliest reception check in, to the wine tasting and lunch we had whilst waiting for our room. From contacting the reception team about a buggy up to the golf club house for dinner. Every aspect is covered. The location speaks for itself, in a tranquil valley, we had 48 hours of bliss. The food in the Kleine Zalze restaurant is some of the finest I’ve ever eaten in South Africa. Thank you for making our stay so lovely.

Service with a view
Great service, complimentary winetasting and besides the wellknown terroir-restaurant (pre-book, worth it) a perfectly decent restaurant for lodge/cottage-guests. The restaurant also caters the pool area and breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Service zurückhaltend, keine Kunden-Orientierung.
Frühstück bescheiden; im Vergleich zum Asara, das wir zuvor gebucht hatten, schlecht.
