Verified reviewexcellent

WOW! This experience we encountered with a romantic weekend away with such an amazing staff was unbelievable! From the manager all through to the cleaning ladies had such a glow and definitely the friendliest personalities I have ever seen! They went out of their way to make the weekend memorable for us with the most mouth watering meals and relaxing sunset views! They even assisted with giving a yes to my request to climb with one of the mountains but making sure my safety comes first with the guide climbing with me even though it was not on the "to do list". Thanks again all of you for all the memories! The van der Merwes xoxox
