The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We are returning customers as we previously enjoyed our earlier visit.
Only issue is that the access road to the estate has yet to be tarmaced but once you arrive at the property you realise that this is a very minor issue.

Literally nothing
In my opinion, my experience with this retreat was extremely disappointing and far below what I would expect from a property presenting itself as a high-end or luxury retreat.

Gorgeous property on beautiful grounds. Very clean and well maintained. Excellent attentive staff.
The food was really lacking. Think it the health focus but really few options.

The rooms are large and well appointed. The property is gorgeous and well furnished. Food very good and staff excellent. Gym very good with reformers
80s pop music blaring in the dining room. It’s a retreat no need for this distraction,

Wow, exceptionally beautiful place to stay with calm, serene surroundings. The Staff were amazing, so kind, helpful, friendly it felt like we lived there. Superb comfort. The Spa was lovely and setting again just superb. The food was very well made and presented, very healthy. Nice gym. A superb holiday.
We loved everything about the place

We spent two days at the hotel during my birthday, and it was an absolute delight!
One of the highlights was the food , the breakfasts were simply exceptional.
At first glance, everything looked healthy and well-balanced: fresh seasonal fruits,
homemade yoghurts, nutritious grains, freshly squeezed juices,
and warm dishes made with perfectly selected ingredients.
The coffee was aromatic, the presentation was thoughtful,
and the overall experience was both aesthetically pleasing and delicious.
It felt like more than just a meal
it was part of the overall wellness journey.
Although we didn’t try lunch, as we spent most of the time in the spa, pool, and sauna,
the breakfasts alone left a lasting culinary impression.
You can tell the kitchen is designed with care for both health and enjoyment.
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the staff
every team member was kind, calm, and genuinely welcoming.
Their quiet professionalism and warm smiles made us
feel completely relaxed and cared for throughout our stay.
There was honestly nothing we didn’t like — everything from the food to the atmosphere was flawless. Even during the winter, the stay felt warm and soulful.

The staff were so helpful and met every request. The room was immaculately clean and had lots of storage space which was really nice. The USB next to the bed was so helpful! The spa servi was were awesome, the therapists were great and the products used were so nice. The pools were great, the food was incredible and overall the grounds were beautiful.
One small thing- an outlet for the hair dryer near the bathroom sinks would be helpful. Also, the fountains could use some more maintenance.

The location, cleanliness, decor, and facilities are spectacular. For the price they charge, at least one treatment should be included. Spa services are extensive but quite expensive . The atmosphere is tranquil. Feels like you're the only guest. Staff are friendly.
I understand that this is a wellness retreat, and only healthy food is served. But healthy doesn't need to be boring or bland. I am so disappointed that we were offered the same breakfast for 3 days. There are so many options for gluten-free, dairy free, sugar-free, and yet there is no variety on the menu. We stayed for dinner on one night. Again, it was a very limited menu that was not exceptional in any way. And at R900+ for 2 people, we left very disappointed.
This was the only aspect that really let down what could be a phenomenal experience.
