Guest Reviews

Eathan (10/5): Beautifully maintained and romantic. - Loved our stay at dunkeld estate. Beautiful maintained property with extremely nice staff in reception and the restaurant. Very romantic and peaceful getaway. The rooms are clean and just like the rest of the property pretty amazing. Wish we stayed for longer!
Zandri (10/5): -
Mphele (10/5): -
Adele (9/5): -
Vino (10/5): - The serenity of the place. Absolutely gorgeous The public restrooms close to reception was a bit untidy and messed
Vincent (3/5): -
du Plessis (2/5): Absolutely Disappointed - The location. Equestrian restaurant is well located. The bedding in our unit was horrible. It felt cheap and not the quality I expect at the price point. Thorn sheets. Only a thin fitted sheet on the bed with no mattress protector. Bathroom roof is full of mold. Restaurant service was very slow. It was not even busy but we waited almost an hour just for starters and another 40min for mains. We got served ice in a porridge dish. The TV setup in the unit is horrible with wires hanging everywhere. The decoder is rested on a chair infront of the TV. The fireplace is burnt through making it very difficult to get wood lit. The wood was wet and did not want to burn. I feel like I was caught with fake advertising the booking details makes the place seem much better maintained and luxurious than it is. Especially at the price point I am very disappointed. Front of desk staff was friendly but incompetent. They don't even know the map and had to wait for a collage to come and explain where our unit is. The vehicles used by the resort looks as if it has been through the war. It just presents very badly for the resort. The staff driving around on the property does not greet guests and does not bother to give right of way. The staff at entrance gate cannot manage traffic comming in and out of the resort. All and all not satisfied at all.
Yolanda (10/5): -
Zane (7/5): The location, facilities, and staff were great. My only feedback would be around providing clearer and more transparent - The location and facilities were excellent. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, very well maintained, and has a lovely atmosphere overall. Room service also took very long. I had booked what I thought was a hotel room, but was instead placed in a shared house setup, which was honestly not a pleasant experience. Although the other guests later moved to the next house, the noise levels were still very bad due to the extremely thin walls. Unfortunately, I did not sleep well during the two-night stay

Carlos (10/5): -
Pinky (9/5): - The staff was very helpful I made a double payment and sent emails regarding this but they are not saying anything.

Maditlhare (7/5): -
Madonsela (6/5): -
Nompumelelo (7/5): A peaceful weekend getaway. - Beautiful landscape, various activities. The linen wasn’t quite clean. It had some brown marks and the blankets had human hair.
Thabisile (8/5): Perfect, friendly staff, we received a warm welcome from Zoe & Sindi and they were helpful. We enjoyed our stay and - Location location location Aesthetic Fireplace in every room 🫠 cosy The electricity outage . the place is big and has a lots of activities but we didn’t use them,cos there was no one to help us navigate the property. However next time I will stay longer to explore the property
Nabeel Meer (3/5): Tranquility but hell because of service - The peace and tranquility is out of this world mountains animals pedigree horses roaming The service is absolutely terrible the rooms are old and needs alot of work you pay premium to be on holiday and dont do anything yet sundays and public holidays there is no house keeping so why do they charge premium kettle was broken beds are uncomfortable room is dusty and needs cleaning please make sure that the expensive firewood that comes isnt wet and dont waste your money on fly fishing lessons its a waste PICTURES ON BOOKING.COM IS NOTHING FROM WHAT YOU RECEIVE FROM THE ROOM
CHENE (7/5): Stunning location, wish we could have stayed longer - What a location honestly just stunning, the horses, trout ponds. It’s beautiful, only stayed 1 night but wished we could have stayed longer to really appreciate all it had to offer. Used the pool and had a round of mini golf, dinner at the restaurant was also very nice. We stayed in a 2 bedroom chalet, the space and size was impressive. However there were big gaps between the door and the floor and windows which let in a lot of cold air. So in winter this apartment would be very cold. But that is my only criticism.
Adele Allison (9/5): family weekend with family - Spacious rooms and entertainment area, nice indoor braai for the cold windy days We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and the Forel was amazing
Phuti (7/5): Great views. Comfortable stay. Housekeeping can be better. - The views were wonderful. The staff was exceptional. The bed was comfortable. The silence of night was unbelievably hypnotic. The room wasn't very clean. The mat (blue in color) had patches of brown soil. The white door frames leading into the bathroom also had smears of brown soil.
Fritz (8/5): -
martin (6/5): Not to great! - The activities were good. The view was great. The room was also very spacious It's always sad that when asked to write a review, no negative should take the most part of it. Firstly, the part that you can only check in at 16:00 instead of 14:00, as I thought was industry standard the lack of maintenance in the room. with the toilet seat that closes on you while seated. Staff can be more helpful and respectful. Hospitality is a bit lacking. Really don't feel like saying more as there is.
Louis (8/5): -
hazel (10/5): -
Andrew (8/5): An enjoyable venue with plenty of amenities. Surrounded by trees, nature and lakes. - The room was more than enough and we enjoyed the stay. After two nights, we felt settled and wished we had booked an extra day. The restaurant on site was lovely - Compliments to the chef. The amenities are awesome and small things like putt putt are outstanding and well maintained. We enjoyed running at Dunkeld and using the quieter moments to destress. Upon arrival, RnB and hip hop music was being played by reception and this threw me off at first as I had a vision of being in an intimate, relaxing environment - the primary reason why I decided to book at Dunkeld. Also, a unit near one of the lakes close to the visitor reception parking was playing very loud music out a Jeep in front their unit, and we were not sure wh this was being allowed. Also, The showerhead in our unit, for some bizarre reason comes out of the ceiling and splashes water all over the bathroom.

Princess Thobekile (7/5): -
Timothee (10/5): - Un cadre magnifique, les cheveux zèbres en liberté ,le spa au top , un complexe complet en immersion dans la nature . Ras
Anita (6/5): -
Shela (7/5): - The activities are in very close and the price for Food and activities are very affordable Paying the R180 for parking that wasn't mentioned on the booking.
Thokozani (9/5): - Venue was clean and beautiful, staff friendly , No bar fridge on hotel Towels and some accessories brought to the room after check in and after room service
Tiffany (3/5): Extremely disappointing stay, poor cleanliness and misleading listing - The entertainment and overall aesthetics of the place were absolutely incredible. From horse riding to the variety of restaurants to explore, there was always something to enjoy, and of course, Parallel stood out with its charming country feel. Unfortunately, our stay was extremely disappointing. The room we were allocated was very unclean, poorly maintained, and did not resemble the images shown online at all. The shower heads had mold, and the shower itself did not appear to have been cleaned after the previous guest. The ceiling above the fireplace was heavily stained with smoke, something that could have easily been addressed with basic upkeep. Overall, the condition of the room was unacceptable. The mattress was black in colour, which was shocking as I have never stayed in accommodation where a mattress is visibly exposed like this. It is usually white or at minimum covered with a standard mattress protector, which was completely absent here. The bed itself was also sagging in parts, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. The floor mat, although originally blue, was visibly dirty and had not been properly cleaned. I experienced a severe cough throughout the night, which has since left me with chest discomfort, likely due to the condition of the room. Considering the price paid, this was extremely poor value for money. The photos online were misleading and did not reflect the reality of the space we were given. I did not enjoy my stay and unfortunately would not recommend this property.
Tracey (6/5): Beautiful setting, but service and upkeep need attention - We recently stayed at Dunkeld Country & Equestrian Estate and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was very good and the spa treatments were excellent — definitely a highlight of our stay. The setting itself is beautiful, and the estate has so much potential. Yhe overall experience was let down by inconsistent service and attention to detail. Staff friendliness and professionalism were lacking in many instances, with only a few team members being genuinely warm and helpful. While check-in was acceptable, it felt a bit disorganised and our emailed bookings were not properly captured. The horse riding experience was also disappointing. Although the team did make a plan to accommodate us on Tuesday (which we appreciated), the condition of the horses was concerning. They appeared unkempt, with tangled manes and generally not well taken care of, which detracted from what should have been a special experience. While the surroundings are naturally beautiful, parts of the estate feel somewhat neglected and could benefit from better upkeep and management attention. Overall, this is a property with great potential, but it would really benefit from improved service standards, stronger management oversight, and better care of its facilities and animals.

Ralph (9/5): Excellent getaway venue with an awesome location. - The rooms were amazing, breakfast eggs were great!
Dawie (8/5): -
Nadine (10/5): We truly enjoyed our stay with Dunkeld, we will most definitely be back and bring the kids as well! - Our first time visiting Dunkeld. The dinner was fantastic, the views were breathtaking, and the location, the history displayed and the staff were exceptional; it was overall really fantastic. Breakfast was great, service from the waiters was great and sincere, even remembering us from the previous night. We truly enjoyed our stay! We made use of the spa and it was one of the best treatments we have ever received!!! Thank you!!!! Best 18th anniversary treat. The staff did not inform us that there was WIFI. Staff were still very friendly, I do suspect some of the staff were in training. This did not make us negative at all; we did not even need wifi with such a beautiful place. Staff forgot their vacuum cleaner and duster on our veranda, it was not an issue, still very neat and not in our way.
Zelmari (1/5): - Paint peeled from walls all over unite, broken dustbin, broken tap (sprayer)in bathroom, feces splatters against the wall that is not cleaned it is gross, staff members not worrying about serious complaints after spending out money on this substandard room quality. Will never go back.
Mariska (7/5): -
Nadia (9/5): We lived the entire estate and the spa was amazing - The serenity of the property. Magnificent views, especially in autumn when the leaves fall all around you The cleaning staff left their supplies just outside the room for the whole stay
Nikita (10/5): -
Tshepo (10/5): -
Athi (8/5): We enjoyed being one with nature and taking part in horse riding. - It was so peaceful and brought about the relaxation we were looking for. They ran out of wood, so we could not use the fire place in the living room.
Kuben (7/5): - The fishing is great. Cabins are pretty basic.
Tanda (4/5): - Staff was friendly I got a hotel room and when I was booking there was a lounge and kitchen. I was looking forward to relaxing
Kerry (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable - Our room was very spacious. Beautiful decor throughout. Picturesque estate. Fly fishing There could have been more variety food at breakfast
Nair (10/5): - Staff Innocent and William was amazing
Leon (5/5): -
Troy (10/5): Very pleasant and comfortable. - We arrived quite late in the evening, enroute to our destination, and were efficiently booked in, had a late supper, and continued in the morning. We were very pleasantly surprised by the establishment and would definitely return for a longer stay.
Zanele (8/5): -
Tania (7/5): Wonderful - Room was very comfortable. Staff were amazing. The only staff that was below good was housekeeping. Breakfast was amazing. The breakfast was amazing. Jerry was great with teaching fly fishing to me and my daughter. It was our first time and he made it so easy to understand and learn. Donbar (I think this is how to say his name) from the stables was also amazing. I went horse riding and my daughter went twice. We would have done more if it were not for the weather. We will be sure to come back . Thank you. Housekeeping was not great.
Ivor (8/5): -
Vicus (10/5): -
Khuluse (2/5): Devastating - Beautiful views and scenery Unfriendly staff. Appears annoyed at the slightest request. Room was not worth amount paid, don’t book the hotel rooms, you can literally hear the neighbours sneeze. No aircon, no fridge, no microwave, no WiFi - or the staff didn’t share passwords. Room was not cleaned Sunday and we got told they don’t clean Sundays, so we slept in a dirty hotel room. Staff said they’d try organise cleaning service and didn’t call back - again, poor service & unwilling to help. Everything was fully booked from an activity POV - all we enjoyed was the town. I’d never go back unless invited & not in a room
George (8/5): Dunkeld Hotel - I liked every single thing about Dunkeld, peaceful and beautiful scenery The only thing that wasn't perfect was the wifi in the room wasn't strong enough to connect our phones
Ana Carolina (9/5): -
Zama (6/5): - One of the cleaning ladies, knocked on our room door at 09:30 to tell us it’s time to check out when on the booking says checkout is 10:00-10:30, she was rude and unprofessional
Natasha (6/5): - The resort and the views. They kept replacing the clean towels and not taking the dirty towels.
Katlego (9/5): breathtaking - The place itself it 👌🏾 Nothing
Ramnarain (7/5): - Mooie omgeving Er wordt ongeveer 10 euro gevraagd voor het onderhoud van de dieren. We waren met een groep. Bij hen was vergeten.

Kwena (9/5): -
Mogau (9/5): - The place felt like home. The staff is always ready to assist No Electric blankets for the safe catering units. Dullstroom is a cold area. Electric blankets should be a standard.
Zanne (8/5): Romantic getaway - Loved the Exclusivity and the shower with the big bath was amazing. I'm used to the hotel so was used to there being a hair dryer and some toiletries.
Yannick (8/5): Fijne tussenstop richting Kruger, rustig, fijne bedden, vriendelijk personeel - Prachtig landgoed, leuk om onderweg zebra's, paarden en andere dieren tegen te komen. Personeel super vriendelijk! Hele fijne bedden. Lekker eten in restaurant 1833! Afwerking in appartement kan beter (wc rol houder was weg, op verschillende plaatsen wel schroeven in muur maar niks opgehangen).
jan10e (8/5): Relax on the spacious estate. - Lakeview. Walks on the estate. The bungalow is more basic then the hotelrooms (we stayed previous time) but still comfy. The bungalow offers more space and the scenery on the doorstep is just lovely. Horses roaming free. The first dinner (trout) was excelent. Breakfasts are fresh and tasteful. The second dinner in the hotelrestaurant was a disappointment. The outdoorpool was for the ducks. Not cleaned. The indoorpool was out of order.
Philasande (9/5): Amazing I’d recommend this to my people - It’s so different , heritage but modern Nothing

Ayanda (9/5): - The scenary it was so beautiful The bed was.old and squecky
Innocent (8/5): The place can do some few improvements like modernise it bt overall I really enjoyed my stay - The location and the place The carpet in the bedroom had a noticeable smell
Dhashen (4/5): Very below average getaway, place seems to be progressively going down - Facilities where good for entertainment HC11 had no fireplace equipment. Shortage of cutlery Shower amenities don’t exist No electric blankets despite requesting everyday on a number of occasions and my requests being ignored.
Maggie (9/5): -
Francois (10/5): Our view was mountains and horses. - It was very quiet. Loved the fireplace. The presence of horses created a tranquil environment Prefer detached units where you don’t hear other units people.
Nigel (9/5): Coming back soon - Location is excellent. Accomodation great comfortable Could have done with a little bit of coffee and tea in the room to start with
Andries (1/5): -
Kyle (10/5): Absolutely the best value for money to experience the ultimate relaxing nature experience. - Absolutely everything. It feels like manifesting your dream location and staying there in constant amazement in the beauty of nature. No I absolutely loved everything.

Ramona (8/5): - food at 1883 was excellent The temperature control in the showers was non existent, we were not given any hand towels in any of the rooms, one single bed did not have a leg which meant that the bed was uneven.
Georg (6/5): Average -
Sander (6/5): It was OK, but could be far better - The location is nice, you are entering through a wood which resembles of Harry Potter. We had a horse walkibg around our cottage, which was really nice. The Estate is beautiful, but could really use an upgrade and maintenance. The restaurant was not so good, which is a pity. We booked for three people: that’s two in a bed, and one on the sofa, which could be transformed in a bed. Do Not book this cottage: the sofa smells like dogs, and when you transfer it in a bed, it was the most uncomfortable ‘bed’ I’ve slept in during my 55 years on this planet.
Chante (1/5): Bad - We cancelled when we arrived because of how bad it looked. Very dirty. Cleaning ladies lying around the units’ stoep areas. Very bad. Dirty. Unprofessional.
Marilize (10/5): Great experience - Everything Maybe just have a look at the fireplace it smokes quite a lot
Helanie (7/5): Beautiful settings, rooms need attention and a deep clean. Restaurant is top class - Restaurant is amazing! Friendly staff, beautiful setting The walls in the room are dirty
VENTER (10/5): Excellent - Loved our stay will be back
