My rating is based on the food and venue only because the hotel was fully booked. In my opion that was the main problem. Too many people and too little staff. We attended a function at the Hotel. The function was held under a small marqee tent in the garden close to the Piano Lounge. It rained and the floors leading to the outside restrooms were very slippery. The restrooms inside the bar and outside were extremely dirty. The staff was very nervous and not very friendly. We never saw the event coordinator. The meal consisted of finger foods. We did not receive any hand wipes to clean our hands before the meal. We had no plates,cutlery or serviettes on the table. At one stage I had to put my food on the table.The food was very dissapointing. The menu was monotonous and lacked intereset, variety and colour. The rules of menu planning did not exist. Repeats of ingredients were through out the whole menu. The same with the dessert, no plates or serviettes.The event coordinator needs to convince clients for better menu choices. The wine glasses were all different in style and sizes. Cleaning staff should be appointed to clean floors and restrooms during the function. The open swimming pool is a serious risk if children attend a function. The finger food menu and small tent option is not suitable for formal functions and weddings.…

Hotel is an absolute dream! All the rooms are individually styled, we stayed in the Great Gatsby and it was wonderful. Staff are very friendly, and all the facilities are well maintained. Hotel even has giant tortoises on site!

Stayed for two nights. Because of wife’s disability given a garden bungalow. Hotel itself does not have a lift. Bungalow was good but does need some serious attention to modernise it and do basic maintenance. Suited us for the two nights but you would be hard pressed to stay in it for any length of time. Hotel grounds are very good and lots of places where you can sit and commune with nature, read a book or just socialise. Security is very good and there is a controlled entry to the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and nothing was a problem for them. The hotel is full of memorabilia and you need to browse through the various items. For those of us who are slightly more mature it will bring back many memories. Breakfast was standard hotel fare but good and adequate. We ate dinner one night and enjoyed it. We would stay here again.…
