    Beautiful location, comfy stay!

    Had a nice couple of nights at this cozy spot! The breakfast spread was super yummy, especially those homemade muffins. Staff were really nice but had to go back and forth for details like the wifi pass. the room could've used a few more cups! worth a visit!

    6.0

    The setting has a nice rustic charm with picturesque surroundings and substantial river views, making it a peaceful retreat. The included breakfast is quite decent, with a reasonable assortment that could make mornings a bit brighter.

    The maintenance needs attending—the main building has peeling paint, and some features feel a bit tired. Room amenities can be lacking, like the absence of cutlery in self-catering rooms and an unreliable DStv that didn't work during my stay. Some of the rooms are excessively humid, with an old ceiling fan that does little to help. the cleaning service leaves something to be desired—rooms were not cleaned or towel service provided throughout our stay, which isn't what you'd expect. WiFi was also nonexistent, which made for a disconnected experience.

    rustic charm

    It was just a great match for a short staycation in Wilderness with good value for money. The outside walls had a nice rustic charm despite the peeling paint, which added to the quaint atmosphere. Make sure to check the condition of room facilities before settling in.

    maintenance issues

    The room I stayed in was spacious and had a lovely view of the grounds, which made mornings feel refreshing. The proximity to the Touw River offered a picturesque setting perfect for relaxing strolls. Breakfast featured a good variety, and I appreciated the homemade muffins. The staff, particularly one gentleman at the reception, showed genuine hospitality, making me feel welcome as a traveler. the kettle cord was too short, making it awkward to use. The restaurant felt underused by guests. even though I tried it, the food was just okay. Some areas in the main building seemed to need maintenance, like peeling paint and outdated decor. It detracted from the overall charm of the hotel. Even though there were some quirks, the very inviting atmosphere and the beautiful surroundings more than made up for the downsides.

    A wonderful location right by the river, the hotel has friendly staff that genuinely aim to make guests feel at home. The spacious deluxe room offers stunning views, though some amenities were lacking, and the overall maintenance could use improvement.
