If you love relaxing on the veranda after a long days travel this is the place. From the well kept gardens and pool to the rooms and the view it is just relaxing. Dinner next door at the Cattle Baron was exquisite. Loved staying here!
I experienced unfriendly management with pathetic "take it or leave it" attitudes. The air conditioner in the room did not work. There is an overall poor maintenance problem. I stayed there 6 nights in total, but will not go there again.
The hotel is in a great location with a wonderful view of the mountains. The rooms are spacious and clean. The main manor house is where you have breakfast, which was scrumptious. The only two problems were that the underfloor heating is left on all day, which is irresponsible in a energy starved country like ours. And the service in general was a bit sloppy and lazy for a 4-star hotel.
Was a bit unsure after reading the reviews but we are so glad we stayed here. We stayed in the queens suite and it was fantastic . Really I don’t understand what people complain about. Room was clean, cool with plenty of history. Pool and communal kitchen was an added bonus
Pontac Manor is in a great location, a short walk from the Paarl main street. It's very quiet and serves as an excellent base for exploring the nearby wine farms. Fairview, Laborie and the outstanding Babylonstoren are all a short drive away. The hotel has recently been fixed up and painted - all very clean, and in a charming, historic Victorian setting. There is a small, quiet bar within the hotel and a good steakhouse is right next door. Breakfast was simple and adequate - suited us perfectly, allowing space to eat at the winefarms. The room had a view over the entrance of the hotel, aircon, TV and very spacious, clean bathroom. Overall, the hotel was a very pleasant surprise and certainly incredible value. Will be very happy to stay here again on our next visit to Paarl.
