The room i had was a bit remote and in a different building/location to the reception, and to drop off keys etc was out of the way and inconvenient. Wifi wasnt working on the first night and no hairdrier in the room. But it was convenient for my training location so acceptable. Mattress was comfortable, heater worked and it was clean.

Potential to be great - but not quite there yet
The lodge has great potential, but management needs to focus on the detail. On arrival, there was no water in the en-suite bathroom. The kettle in the room was filthy, and I had to request a clean one from reception. But most disappointing was that the room was not connected to the generator like the rest of the lodge was, and I was not informed of this when booking or when checking in. Should I stay here again I would really like to see that these issues have been dealt with.

Grumpy
1 If a table / work surface is provided a chair might be helpful. 2If the room has an adjoining door, it should be more soundproof. 3What is the point of a winter weight duvet on a bed during a South African Summer.? Solve 2 + 3 and I might actually have been able to sleep in the bed provided.

The lady at the front desk was wonderful to deal with. Breakfast was included and they exceeded my expectations. The staff were lovely. I got in late and they waited up for me (did call them about month before). Had to fetch my frail mother from an old age home nearby. The facility and services exceeded the price. Great value.

Pretty good
There was a mix-up of some kind when attempting to check in, where we were told our booking was cancelled despite it being confirmed on hotels.com website they were able to rectify this and check us into a different room. Following this our stay was uneventful, the room was large, the bed comfy and the breakfast was good. The area where it is located is a little out of the way, but the hotel has tall security gates around the property and secured parking..

Stayed here due to proximity to airport. The property is deceptively expansive with lots of interesting art work in several buildings. Breakfast was substantial. This is on the way to the wine country. Nicer locations in the wine country itself.

The actual property was basically good, had a small pool and an area for relaxing, plus secure parking. The close surrounding area was not desirable at all. But if you have a car it was easy to get to food restaurants etc.
