Guest Impressions

Heaven in the Garden route

"After years of procrastinating, I finally booked a vacation at this legend of a place. We had an amazing time and were pampered to the extreme. This was a true 5 star experience. The service was attentive yet unatrusive, the food was exceptional and in the words of my daughter it''s "Our holiday home"
