From the moment you drive through the gates, this is an experience of a lifetime. The hospitality, accommodation, food, wine, beer and facilities are out of this world. Not to mention 2 World class golf courses on your doorstep. Treat yourself to the trip and experience of a lifetime and enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace for me!

We found evrything about this resort to be perfect, very attentive and friendly staff throughout, smaller issues were resolved quickly, excellent food in all the restaurants, fantastic breakfast buffet with a huge selection of fresh fruit, beautiful room, and all that despite the hotel being fully booked with huge events. Highly recommend it even though it doesn't come cheap
