The service is perfect and their conference rooms or halls are up to standard

Not the best I have seen. The hotel is 3 star and it shows. The free internet is good, but I could not make it work as they promised. I loaded 10 vouchers in an hour and then gave up. The mobile phone reception is sketchy in most places indoor. The local restaurant is not too bad, but I would rather visit the Dros in town. In all, not bad, but next time I will find a B&B next to the Orange River

My first time here, terrible experience, air-con not working, no blankets in the room and as if that was not enough the shower does not work properly....As I write this I'm freezing cold from malfunctioning shower, called for help 20min ago and I am still waiting.Will never come or advise any of my colleagues, friends and/family to come here.

We have stayed here on 2 different occasions and each time the service improves. The staff are friendly, pleasant and accommodating, it was a welcoming environment. We were in a double room unit that had a lovely bath. The room was clean, however there was only enough toiletries for one person. Also water isn't provided. (I would suggest giving the guests water bottles in the fridges.)It's near a cemetery but you forget about that once you enter, as it has a Golf Course, an area to play miniature golf, a casino, a game arcade for children (my son thoroughly enjoyed it), a creche (from 4 years old/1.2m), a lovely Italian restaurant, a small shop (mostly filled with junk food) and a spa. Breakfast is really good, there's a buffet with various cereals and lovely fruit. All in all, it's always a pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend this place if you looking for a weekend a way with the family or even if you stopping over for a night. Its very family friendly. :)
"Our stay at the hotel"
We were very pleasantly suprised with the quality of service, the rooms, the food in the restaurant, best fillet steak we have ever had by the way. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would recommend the hotel to others without any doubt. Our ages range from 22 to 62 and we all had a great time. Our overall impression is that we got value for money.
