Shambala was one of the best experiences and stays we have ever had. The nature, location, comfort, the list is endless. We have already booked again to stay here and one of our favourite new destinations. Thank you so much to the staff for making us so welcome.

Pleasant and peaceful

The villas are in a beautiful location. It is quite idyllic and very peaceful. The decor is pleasant, if a little dated. The kitchenette is quite well equipped, the fridge badly needs defrosting. The bed is very comfy. The shower is ok with plenty of hot water.

Check in was a bit clunky but the rooms were clean and functional. Knowing there were cooking facilities in the room would have helped me prepare for my stay better, but I’ll know next time. It’s a lovely peaceful place to stay

Great location

Staff were very good. Fix up a small problem straight away. Complimentary wine given, much appreciated But for the price of room. It would have been nice to have a welcome basket of goodies or continental breakfast items.. room was lovely but getting a bit dated Bit of a musty smell A great location .. near quite a few wineries, food and restaurants

The actual property location and the Shambala estate is beautiful, however the cottage unfortunately doesn’t match up to the advert. The property itself is tired and needs a refresh, which I could overlook, however the cleanliness was appalling. By far the worse place I’ve started in a long time where it was like no one had dusted or wiped surfaces. Very disappointing stay
