    Overall great stay with wonderful staff - special shout out to Brian and Evie

    The desserts - a lot of work is required and needs massive improvement. For example, the chocolate cake is not good with the cake very grainy and doesnt have the decadance that it should have. Same with the Tiramisu - if someone has never had tiramisu in their lives and orders what is given as a Tiramisu, they will never order Tiramisu again. The dessert chef should really get some training or should be replaced by a chef who can actually whip up some nice desserts. Also, variety in desserts is recommended like moose, tarts etc,

    The dinner, breakfast was quite nice and the view from the restaurant area is quite amazing. The food has some amazinf taste and people visiting from South Asia will not be disappointed. It would be good that besides chutneys, pickles are also served which go very well with parathas. However, they could have a better bar area with a fireplace like a lounge and not just a counter from where drinks are served.

    The roads/driveway up to it were rough, which we weren’t prepared for.

    We loved the pool and the view. The cottage was lovely and we loved that none of them overlooked each other so it felt very private. The staff were all amazing, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Everywhere was clean and tidy.

    Fact that the room has only one water glass , we asked for another one but the lady who helped us check in didn’t bother to bring The kettle socket is too short (I made this comment two years ago and the issue has not been resolved )

    Nice rustic cabins and grounds
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Room with Patio
    • Stayed 1 night

    The gates to the hills were shut in the morning and you would have to pay the guide to see the sunrise over the lake or go for a night walk to spot chameleons. Description of the property is misleading - it is located 1km from the lake and you cannot see it from the villa we were allocated. Maybe the other villas have a view but this will be from quite some distance.

    Very nice rustic cabins, nice grounds, on-site walking tour was good and restaurant buffet and breakfast was very good with a fantastic view on the veranda.

    The beds are a little bit small . I guess because of the type floor it felt dusty The possibility of sharing a cottage someone can be a turn off.

    The food at the hotel was fantastic I will eat it anytime. The staff were very friendly and helpful at any given time The location of the hotel is just perfect and tests your car ability :)

    It would have been great if escort to the cottage was included. At dark our cottage was relatively far (5 minute walk) to reach on dark paths. A little bit more lightning and closer proximity to others would have made us feel more safe at night.

    We had a large room/cottage which was great for our family; the style is a little dark but comes across friendly. The menu options were perfect and there was sufficient room for our kids to play and roam around safely.
