    The meals were ok, I expected a bit more, I was especially disappointed in the seafood basket - only fried ingredients.

    I loved the ambiance, the gardens are truly beautiful and very restful. The room is very spacious and well equipped.

    Beautiful getaway on the Orange River

    Very loud petrol generator during load-shedding is located right outside Ruby Cabernet and Chardonnay suits. This was quite disruptive and did ruin the peace and quite - particularly at night. Although it turns off at 10pm, it turns back on again at 6am which may not be great for late sleepers. This wouldn’t really be an issue when load shedding is in the lower stages, but wasn’t great for a period where there was 10+ hours of load-shedding.

    The setting is beautiful, right next to the orange river with lots of beautiful big old trees keeping you shaded. We had great meals at the restaurant and were well looked after by our server, who was absolutely lovely. The room (Ruby Cabernet) was exceptionally comfortable and we loved sitting by the warm fire at night with a glass of complementary sherry. A good base to explore surrounding areas, such as Augrabies Falls and nearby wine farms.
