Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers standalone townhouse type buildings, though they are placed quite far from the facilities, which can be inconvenient. You'll need to request assistance frequently due to the distance. On a positive note, it's advised to take only what you need to the room.
The hotel offers rooms with everything you need, some with great views across wine estates, but facing onto a jumping castle that had kids screaming all day. The service was excellent with friendly and professional staff, although some interaction incidents may occur. The location is clean, tidy, and well-designed but may need improvement in managing big groups during breakfast. The dining experience was tiresome with cold food, yet some Deluxe facilities were available. Facilities overall were satisfactory.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a modern, stylish look in separate buildings. It's a great stay with the most wonderful guest experience I've ever had. The rooms are clean, presentable, and come with a lounge area, bedroom, separate bathroom, and stand-alone shower.
