- Sebushane (9/5): Except the poor room service, stay was enjoyable - Didn’t have breakfast In room service was below par. We ordered oxtail, salad & cheese platter. Food was presented with 2 x Fork & Knife but there was no spoon to dish oxtail onto rice, there was no side plates for mains & cheese platter, no knives for the cheese platter. It was a very disappointing moment

- Josef (9/5): -
- Graham (7/5): - Great friendly service from reception Stairs from bedroom to toilet is a hazard at night. Maybe auto sensor lighting would help. One of our guests fell and broke their shoulder ruined our golf trip
- Graham (10/5): One of those moments in time you wish would last longer - I will definitely be back another time, longer and slower - Quaint, beautiful and tranquil Time moves too quickly
- Graham (6/5): -
- Marie (10/5): - We enjoyed every minute of our stay here.
The staff are exceptional, polite and helpful.
The food was lovely.
Our room was large comfortable, beautifully decorated, with a lovely balcony to sit on to enjoy the view.
We will definitely be back ! Not a big issue, but some bottled water would be nice in our room.

- andrea (8/5): -
- Dirk (7/5): Voldoende - Ligging van hotel op route van J’burg naar Kruger/Panoramaroute.
Grote, ietwat gedateerde kamer.
Prima restaurant met mooie (whisky)bar. Wifi op de kamer deed het niet en er werd, ondanks toezegging om ernaar te kijken, niets aan gedaan. Zou in deze tijd toch makkelijk op te lossen moeten zijn met hotspots of versterkers.

The staff were welcoming, attentive, and consistently went out of their way to ensure a comfortable stay. The service was professional and efficient throughout.
The food was also a highlight — fresh, flavorful, and well-presented, with a good variety of options to suit different tastes. Whether dining in the restaurant or ordering room service, the quality remained consistently high.
Overall, I highly recommend The Highlander Hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-serviced stay. I look forward to returning! NA
- Bruno (9/5): Muito bom! - Quarto muito bom! Hotel muito organizado, atendimento na recepção muito bom, tanto para o check-in quanto para o check-out, funcionários simpáticos e estrutura muito boa! Sinceramente não tenho pontos negativos sobre o hotel! Único ponto negativo seria com relação a cidade rs, que os restaurantes e bares não abrem domingo, e fecham muito cedo!
- Gugu (9/5): Most likely an annual retreat spot! - The great service, spacious room and fireplace made it the cosiest solo stay. Staff was always attentive and on hand to start up the fires daily. Bonus is the Spa 😍 Nothing! (*although I'd be a hater if I didn't tell you to have a look at the amazing heated towel rail that didnt work but it's a small nice to have so didnt mess up my experience 😉)
- Gerda (9/5): Excellent stay. Well worth it to stay over. - A comfortable, easy accessible room with everything that is needed for a stayover.
Excellent and friendly staff.
Superb food with excellent waiters who like to spoil their customers. David is a knowledgeable, friendly and humoristic waiter. There was a problem with the power that dropped numerous times and no one came with a light of some kind or asked if we were okay.
- Annette (10/5): Fabulous -
- Tamsyn (10/5): - Excellent. Staff were helpful and friendly. Food were well prepared and tasty. Hotel is well situated. Unit is spacious. Enjoyed the undercover patio. Everything we're great
- Nonhlanhla (10/5): - Hospitality number 1 None

- Maria (7/5): It’s a grand old lady! - It’s old style grand lodge The property needs a upliftment - looking tired and old. For the price one would expect breakfast to be automatically included vs an option.
- Jorge (9/5): - Very nice room Internet very bad
- Can (10/5): -
- Sheridan (9/5): - The Highlander is a beautiful hotel, with all the amenities you could want. The room we had was luxurious and the restaurant and little whisky bar were amazing as well. Enjoyed the space of coziness of the room. The staff a reception could have been more friendly. Additionally the hotel is very much in the middle of town, so if you're someone who would like some seclusion, take that into account.

- SERGE (10/5): Un séjour de rêve dans une ambiance "so British"! - Des suites très cosy avec lit king size, cheminée et salle de bain avec baignoire et douche. Un personnel au petit soins, un restaurant avec une carte des plats et des vins magnifiques. Pour les amateurs de whisky un choix fabuleux. J'aurais aimé y passer plus de temps ! Rien
- hilda (9/5): -

- Renate (10/5): Ideales Hotel am Weg zum Krüger Nationalpark - Perfekter Aufenthalt am Weg zum Krüger Nationalpark. Stylisches großes Zimmer mit Kamin u schöner Terrasse.

- Hans (10/5): - Wunderschönes Haus im Kolonialstil, hatte eine Suite mit Kamin, der betriebsbereit mit Holz bestückt war. Seeehr gute Küche, super Frühstück, guten Wein zu vernünftigen Preisen. WIFI war praktisch nicht vorhanden, das kann man aber an einem solchen Ort verschmerzen :-)
- Loni (10/5): Amazing! - Everything was marvelous. From the moment we stepped onto the property we felt welcome and the staff went out of their way to make it an amazing stay. All the staff is an absolute delight. It was a nice and romantic getaway. I can’t wait to visit again.
- Mmopi (8/5): -
- claudia (10/5): - The staff went out their way for us. We had dinner with our kids and when returning to the room they had started our fire to make the room toasty and warm for our return. They had cherry waiting for us as we came in.
- van Loo (10/5): Better than expected and we have very high expectations - 99% of everything 1 Occasion when we asked for wood to be left outside our room and had the "Do not disturb" sign out only to find the wood inside and our stuff being fiddled with..... Also find the outside door leading into the cupboard where the safe is, without a key handed to us and uncontrolled access to room, a bit dodgy.
- Stuart (7/5): - Beautiful Rooms No bc atmosphere in the pub/restaurant . No Bar service
- Jose (9/5): Excellent - Extremely Friendly Staff, accomodation spacious and comfortable, fireplace was great, room service was oin point, breakfast and dinner was superb. Nothing, all was good
