If I had to make suggestion, it would be to have winter sheeting on the beds and offer more of a tv package for your guests.

Excellent place to stay

A superb place to stay - large rooms/bathroom, great veranda overlooking well tendered and tranquil garden. Lovely garden swimming pool with sun loungers and lawn. Staff exellent and looked after us very well - even had menu's from local restaurants and staff happy to reserve a table. Great breafast served on the veranda. Highly recommend for a stay in town.

We had paid for our room in advance. Our room was 10 degree centigrade on arrival and took 4 hours to warm. When I complained to the duty manager in the morning she just shrugged. There was no remorse nor an apology

This would have been a fantastic stay but we did book economy rooms and they were fairly basic compared to the rooms with private terraces onto the main gardens. Economy rooms seem to be for the drivers (mini bus and coach drivers etc) so I recommend checking where your room will be and perhaps going up a level.

Bathroom needs a door

Disappointed that the bathroom did not have a door. The toilet had but getting out of the shower meant hiding around the corner or making sure the curtains to room were closed. Not ideal when staying in a twin room with the opposite sex. Breakfast was reasonable. Omelette was more of a crepe. Some of the buffet food was uncovered, which attracted flies.

Pretty lodge

We only had a one night stay here so it was a quick visit, it exceeded our expectations, it is a very pretty place with well kept gardens and our room was very modern. The hotel doesn’t do evening meals but will recommend a restaurant nearby and book it for you they also booked the Congo caves for us which is a twenty minute drive and worth doing the staff were very helpful. Breakfast is just continental but you can pay a small fee to have cooked, there was plenty to choose from.

One night stop on Route 62

Beautiful lodge with beautifully tended gardens. Not far from the fantastic Cango caves - a ‘must see’. Didn’t try the pool in the garden! Reminded us so much of a lovely safari lodge we stayed in on Masai Mara in Kenya. Didn’t use the shower on our one night stay- old style over bath with an ‘enclosure’ felt a bit tricky to get in or out of the bath. Lots of restaurants nearby - We fancied something relaxed so had a basket meal and a beer at the Route 62 diner just down the road. Complimentary continental breakfast was ample for us, but cooked was available. Would stay there again.

Upmarket lodge, not sure if it was worth the cost

An upmarket lodge, which is reflected in the cost. They provide continental breakfast (cooked breakfast was extra cost). Room was large, clean and comfy. Parking secure. Continental breakfast was underwhelming. Wifi didnt work in our room. Felt it was a little impersonal

Some Problems

Very nice, but the night before we were to arrive we were told the swimming pool was not functioning. Bearing in mind the one day was in the mid thirties, this was disappointing. Our room had an artisan working all day, on both sides of us. One night I had to ask him to stop hammering on our walls at 8 o' clock at night. The hotel staff and very nice and considerate. management need to up their game.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Grounds were lovely Room was poor. We had midges in the room (I hope they were midges), long hairs all over the couch (not ours). The safe wasn’t working, the tv was broke, no bath mat, half a roll of toilet tissue. Entry to your room is via old fashioned locks with long keys, starting at 5 in the morning, all we could hear was people opening and closing their doors and the jangling of keys.
