In general the hotel is very run down. Things falling apart and dysfunctional, including pool area and umbrellas and gardens. The resort is in desperate need of serious maintenance. Also, no wi fi in rooms for a 4 star hotel is not really acceptable. Poor conditions somewhat compensated for by the first class and much appreciated service from Petrus and some of his staff -especially chef and Thabisa.

Comfortable Room
The room was comfortable and we got an affordable rate due to low season. What's really nice is that the spa and salon is in the premises. However, the restaurant was unfortunately closed and we were not aware of this. The hotel was also very quiet. Think we were the only guests there. Recommend this hotel in the summer.

Great value for money, especially during the Easter holidays. The beds could be a little softer and an extra pillow would be great. I will defiantly be back.

Very comfortable stay, very good service and helpful staff. No wifi in room and not close to the city center, but if you are taking the buses at Shell Ultra City, it's literally 2 minutes away.

Value for money but not luxury
Three nights at the end of our Garden Route trip. Hotel is adequate and value for money, but calling it a Spa is a bit of a stretch. A bit tired but clean and tidy though and if you just want a base to explore Plett it's ok.

High on a hill
Good views over the bay but a 20 minute walk down to the town and a taxi ride back up the hill. Good sized rooms with balcony, swimming pool and breakfast and dinner served in the restaurant.
