Wonderful stay at a place with atmosphere
This is one of my favourite places near Robertson. Beautiful setting with a little pond you can overlook from the bar. In the evening phantastic atmosphere and vwry peaceful. Also the staff very friendly and I received an excellent breakfast. Had been here before when it still was Rosendal Winery. Now new owners who have some excellent ideas how to develop the place. I really enjoyed the discussion with them. Hope to come back one day and see the further development

Great stay at the Lab Robertson - nice connected room with jacuzzi and a big pool at the center of the hotel. Excellent breakfast and good service. Not too impressed by dinner though - I had salmon linguine and apart from the name, I did not find any salmon worth mentioning in those. Overall good experience

The Staff were all very friendly, and wo The Staff were all very friendly, and would always check you had everything you needed, The owner was extremely helpful during my stay, helping my elderly mother to walk in areas where she needed help, and always checking us if we needed help with anything. This place is much more beautiful than the pics on the internet. The eating area is bright and airy, and not enclosed, which helps during these trying times. Each room has its own private Jacuzzi. I will definitely recommend it, and I will go back.
