“We'll be back!”
Perfect accommodation for the swim gala we attended. Rooms are comfortable. The garden is great for relaxing after a long day and our kids were able to warm up in the pool before their races. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is tasty.

“I like the facility. It’s cute and quint, however the assistant needs to learn to be more careful with customers”
It’s very close to the N3 - which is what I needed most from it as I just needed to rest up for my trip to KZN
