A view of the room – and a room with a view

Here's what two recent visitors had to say about their stay (via TripAdvisor):

“From the time we arrived we experienced nothing but brilliant service, the room was clean, bathroom is huge and well proportioned, the dinner and breakfast was scrummy, loved the Maropeng centre and the Sterkfontein Caves. Our tour guide Abigail was a hoot and our waitress at the hotel Tumi was fantastic.” – Monique W

“We were more than impressed by this hotel. It's one of the cases where you get much more than you expected. Everything is still new and the rooms are well equipped with all the bathroom necessities, plunger coffee, DStv, aircon and a small patio with a view. The set dinner was great. Thanks for a wonderful stay to the very friendly staff.” – Eloise Nolte
