What type of electrical sockets are in the rooms? Do the rooms have hairdryers in them? Is there free wifi in the rooms, or just communal areas? Thank you

European sockets (French, two pin) in the room which was useful. If I'd have known I wouldn't have bought extra SA ones at the airport.

We are staying here in about ten days' time. How easy is it to get taxis/transport from the hotel to the nearby wineries as, if you are wine tasting, its not adviseable to drive!

Very easy to get transport. They even have UBER so you can use that.

Do you offer complimentary transportation to local vineyards and restaurants?

What options are here for hotels guests who want to use a gym?

Hello Thank you for your request. Oude Werf Hotel is within walking distance from the VIRGIN ACTIVE Gym in the Eikestad Mall. The daily fee is R150 per person. Elanie Fourie GENERAL MANAGER
