Such a wonderful setting, completely unique. The design & attention to detail are extraordinary, a new take on SA design/aesthetic. Just let down by poor service and food offering. The staff are friendly but not well trained, slick or professional which does not match the expectations created by what you are charged. Same for the food offer - its actually just poor.

It’s a harsh word, but it’s true. We were meant to arrive at 5pm, but got held at work. So we they called to inform us that no shuttle will wait for us and we would be stranded. So we chose to drive up for ourselves. They said we can’t park there. All this while it’s pouring. Eventually we parked anyway and finally got to our room the soaking. We asked what time restaurant closes. They said 10pm and last order is 9pm. We arrive at the restaurant at 8:55pm and the restaurant was closed…workers had already left. We asked what we should eat and they said (sarcastically) we should drive somewhere since we came with our own car. Any restaurant would be closed by the time we reach civilisation… We are in the most expensive rooms, the cabin. But the rooms didn’t even have slippers or belt for the robe or even WiFi. There’s nowhere to put our clothes or luggage. And where there’s free space is actually outside. So we slept hungry and obviously couldn’t shower cause it was still raining outside where the shower and bath are. Not even covering over it. The receptionist made sure we knew it’s not her problem, even though she’s hosting us in her property. Honestly we will never come back.

Way overpriced - the hot is good food but inconsistent, lovely ethos and well appointed, particularly the room (no hair drier nor shower cap - nice gowns but sans slippers). No television, particularly in the common area, had to watch on mobile phone, internet was excellent as was the wellness centre treatment. Staff attention was near perfect but in reception far from it. Regretfully, we are unnlikely to do a return visit.

What a unique gem situated in the cradle of humankind. This beautiful, peaceful and serene retreat is complete bliss from the moment you arrive. From the Wellness area, the farm, the restaurant, the unique bar area, the pool, the spa, the outdoor gym, makes this unique gem a must to experience. The rooms are so comfortable and unique. The service was fantastic and the cuisine was amazing. Lots of activities to choose from. I personally enjoyed the walk to the Waterfall. Extremely tranquil and peaceful environment. I highly recommend this unique gem and looking forward to a return visit.
