The hotel had friendly and helpful staff, and the breakfast was perfect with a delicious dinner option. We also appreciated that they served halal meat. We were impressed with their exceptional service when we forgot our passports in the safe and they managed to deliver it to our other hotel, despite being 5 hours away.
Nothing at all.

The lodge had a variety of beautiful spaces, decks, and gardens, with a unique and tranquil atmosphere. The hospitality was great, and the restaurant offered delicious food and wine. Additionally, the private accommodation was well-furnished and equipped to a high standard.
During our stay, we were disappointed to find that some of the bars were closed, and there were no showers available for guests to freshen up before checking out. These were minor inconveniences, but they did affect our overall experience.
Tourists from United States often stay at these properties. Ideas for your future trips.
