• mncube (7/5): Nice place, but can do better. - The food was good. There was no communication from them, we had to call to ask the check-in time on the day of our arrival. They offer room service but there are no phones, you have to use your cell phone to call the restaurant or reception if you need help.

• Nkuyusa (10/5): not so bad - it is soo quiet rules and regulations during breakfast, not being allowed to eat because i ordered an homlet
• Tshiamo (6/5): Decent - The nature The toilet seats are worn. That was a major turn off

• Sitha (9/5): -
• Marsel (8/5): The Blades - The room and location are beautiful. Very close to Pretoria and Johannesburg. The pictures of the bed and the actual bed differ. I booked it to have the specific bed, as my wife loves it.

• Rebecca (10/5): -
• Elise (7/5): -
• Sokhana (9/5): -
• Monica (7/5): It was a lovely get away to relax. - The staff were absolutely friendly and always willing to help I see the property needs work ( maintenance done). On lekker slaap didnt show the specials as if I had known I would have booked the executive room with all spa as that is what I wanted to begin with been our wedding anniversary. otherwise it was great.
• Siviwe (8/5): I absolutely enjoyed my time at this place. I ended up extended by a day. - The views and the general location. The lights were a bit dim.

• Keamogetswe (10/5): -
• Magdeli (8/5): Really nice - The staff was really friendly. The swimming pool area was really nice (with little huts you could lie in). The view from the restaurant area is beautiful. Would have been nice to have the pool bar open. Could have one jungle gym or something for kids.

• Monthati (10/5): -
• Thabo (10/5): -
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Andria (8/5): It was pleasant - Dinner and Breakfast was excellent - staff during meals are great and well trained. However, the reception staff quote us R180-00 per person for breakfast for our extra two guests that join us for breakfast. At payment time it was R250-00 per person. Huge difference. But we paid it because we do not want to make a seen in the restaurant. The stairs to the dining room are very dangerous.
• Solly (9/5): -
• Gugu (10/5): -
• Kedibone (6/5): - Best place to be if you need quite time but you don't want to drive too far from home (Joburg) The dirty water in the dam but the pool and the neat and beautiful room made up for it. I can still go back despite
• Samkelo (5/5): -
• Lesego Masenya (10/5): - We had a great experience. The executive suite was everything - the views, the serenity and the relation 🤌🏽. We even decided to extend by an extra night because it was that good. Thank you for the amazing experience. This was our second time back and we are definitely returning again. The bath tub was leaking a bit. After taking a bath, there was water all over the floor.

• Solly (8/5): -
• Peter (8/5): - yes
• Nurse Mabena (9/5): - The place is very clean ; the breakfast was delicious with the soft music during breafast. We also liked our room with nice view next to swiming pool. Nothing everything was excellent.
• Rogers (10/5): - A relaxing atmosphere served with kindness and grace. Very friendly staff and the food was awesome , good presentation and delicious.
• Jabulile (8/5): Amazing - The views The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our bathroom had spider webs even after I spoke to the cleaner it still had spider webs.
• Danny (7/5): Perfect and Enjoyed - Room.setup The main room to have privacy
• Toinette (8/5): I enjoyed it very much - The food TV not working properly
• Dipolelo Pertunia (3/5): -
• Atlegang (7/5): Could Be Better - Very clean and comfortable. The food wasn’t the best. They need to invest in golf carts because the walk from the rooms to the breakfast side is just ridiculous in that steep rocky area. I still don’t understand why room service is charged when you’re in a hotel.
• Delisile (8/5): Good - The location was perfect. I did not enjoy the breakfast The food could have been better.
• Keitumetse (10/5): -
• Praveshen (3/5): - It was quite tranquil Coffee machine had mould; food was prepared as requested. The toilet seat was broken. The pool wasnt operational
• Lebogang (5/5): -
• Karabo (8/5): - Spiderwebs corners of bathroom window. The aircon was not working properly to cool the room temperature. This should be checked before guests arrive.
• Grace (8/5): -
• Igor (8/5): -
• Nokwanda (5/5): -
• Tebogo (9/5): - Clean, quiet , welcoming The buffet dinner was not extensive, very few options
• Onthatile (6/5): -
• Lesego (10/5): It was everything I needed and more as I started off my 2026 journey. My best friend and I had the time of our lives. Th - It’s so scenic, quiet, peaceful and really beautiful Nothing
• Tendamudzimu (7/5): -
• Angie (7/5): Some issues but overall would return - The location is great for a quick trip out of Joburg. We booked an exec room expecting a peaceful weekend away. There are campers on the other side of the dam visible from our room which is not ideal. The resort did move us to a room without view of the campers once we complained. Service was a bit slow with the time we went (during festive) but the staff that were available were very friendly and helpful. The spa was closed without our knowledge, we had planned massages but were told on arrival that the spa was closed during this period. Meals very good, so good I had the same thing two nights in a row. Overall would return. The location is great for a quick trip out of Joburg.

• Irene (9/5): It was lovely and we enjoyed ourselves. - The place is nice and clean, the pool is lovely. I liked that we get bottled water daily. There’s a bad smell in the bathroom, not sure if it’s mold or coming from outside.
• Moloi (9/5): - The view was nice, friendly stuff and loved that the place was clean and had room service
• Mduduzi (8/5): - The ambience is good and we were close to the dam 😀 The aircon on the second day was difficult to turn on so we opened windows 🪟
• Mamokone (9/5): - The place is relaxing with a nice view but mayb if they can have multiple swimming pool. The breakfast was dry as if it was prepared days before.
• Thembi (10/5): The place is beautiful out of this world - The restaurant took too long to prepare food They need to have meal options for 2 year olds
• kamogelo (10/5): - The friendly staff. View of nature and the food. Please add bathroom mats🙏🏽
• Larushkan (8/5): -
• Lindelani (7/5): -
• Keitumetsev (10/5): - Friendly and active stuff.Best breakfast. Perfect room with a dam view, very clean and comfortable,the environment is a haze of peace and tranquility. Nothing.
• Lebambo (8/5): Perfect 👌 - Staff was amazing. Ants and mosquitoes and no hiking trail.
• Millicent (5/5): Birthday getaway short changed - Scenery We spent the whole Saturday afternoon watching them clean the pool and not being able to swim as the pool was dirty. After seen the amount of chemicals that were put in, I felt bad for the kids that decided to swim in the afternoon when it was finally clean. So we left without even being able to swim. The food is honestly not the best aswell. The couch in the room😔
• Shaun (9/5): - Everything was great!
• Hanru (8/5): Lovely place to escape just outside the city - Room layout was very nice, especially the high ceilings and bath tub next to fireplace. It is also super close to the city, but still feels like you are very remote. Our room had two unwelcomed bats inside that flew inside the room over our heads almost the entire night. Luckily the friendly staff moved us to another room the next day and apologised for the inconvenience.
