The Reception staff were very friendly, super efficient and welcoming. The room was very nice. We appreciated the electric blanket and comfortable bed. The whole area was beautiful, tranquil and peaceful.

South Africa2 Reviews“Beautiful and Luxurious Stay”-
Beautiful stay. Breakfast was fantastic. It is hot where they make a restaurant meal for you with unlimited toast and muffins. Very cool bar. We were here for work, but I would definitely consider it for a romantic weekend away. Very well kept premises, clean and luxurious stay.

South Africa1 review“Great venue, with friendly staff and great food.”The booking was a bit confusing - I assumed breakfast was included in the original price on Booking.com. But it was extra. The booking talks to a B&B which one assumes then includes Breakfast?

South Africa1 review“Beautiful and comfortable spot”Unfortunately the power went out and thank goodness for their inverters/generators to keep the lights on. Unfortunately the power-hungry aircons could not remain on during no power and it was a very humid night! This was nothing that can be controlled however.
Jade, one of the staff members, was fantastic. They were very accommodating in many ways. The bed was comfortable and clean place. There were beautiful, well-maintained gardens. They had inverters/generators for power problems.

South Africa4 Reviews2 helpful votes“Comfortable, roomy, with very kind and considerate staff”I’m not a fan of the small showers. I think there’s enough space to create roomy showers, especially as the rooms don’t have baths. But the showers do the job.
The property is very quiet. The mature trees surrounding the property make it a perfect spot for quiet reflections during your stay. The staff is also incredibly kind and accommodating. This is why this is our first choice accommodation in Newcastle.

South Africa6 Reviews“A beautiful peaceful family holiday! Will be back!”Nothing. Everything was lovely. I recommend carrying mosquito repellent in the summer as the gardens are lush and you will get bitten lol.
The property is so beautiful and gardens so well maintained! It was peaceful and beautiful and the staff were all so super friendly and accommodating. The pool and bar facilities were excellent. A great suite was provided (suitable for families), so we had an amazing stay with our little ones (9yo and 3yo). They enjoyed the pool thoroughly. Close to the Newcastle mall and BlackRock Casino. Roads are in good condition if you are not using an SUV, a family car is sufficient.
