Did an overnight stop here on a dinner-bed-breakfast booking with my wife. Met with welcoming drinks by hotel staff as we parked. Were escorted to room to settle in and relax before supper. Everyone very friendly and helpful. At predinner drinks a 5 course fixed menu (fine dining) was explained in detail before we went through to the dining room.... More

I was so looking forward to this and when I arrived I thought "great"! We got upgraded but to a cottage that had obviously just been renovated. The smell of paint was very strong, the shower leaked into the middle of the bathroom floor. The decor was contrived and smacked of chic out of a magazine. The premise of this... More

This lodge had been recommended to us by a chef friend and it did not disappoint. The food was really good. I don't eat meat and many establishments translate this to mean "just give me veggies' - but Cleopatra's did not do that. My food looked the same as my husband's - only i did not have meat. And the... More

We found ourselves in South Africa this Thanksgiving and decided to celebrate at one of the country's gourmet destinations. Cleopatra Mountain Farmhouse did not disappoint. The setting is very nice, nestled in a valley just 45 minutes from Giant's Castle in the Drakenberg Mountains. We stayed in one of the executive suites, but the lower-priced deluxe suites looked just as... More

The most amazing setting, impeccable service, beautiful spacious rooms, attention to detail, friendly and hospitable. Unfortunately the resident chef was not resident and so the gourmand food experience we came for and paid for let the whole show down. The food was not of gourmand class or value, in actual fact came nowhere near it ... what a disappointment! More

The farmhouse is located in the most beautiful location with stunning views, we stayed in a lodge with a separate living room and bedroom in a stunning setting. No phone in the accommodation and no night staff around, when we had a problem with the heating in the room we had to wonder around in the dark trying to find... More

It’s the kinda of place you would like to stay at forever …. They made my birthday extra special by arranging a birthday cake and champagne to set up in... More
