4 star is most certainly overrated and at least one star too many. The hotel might have been a great property some 25 years ago but is now in need of attention and some maintenance.

Quick Night Stay
A group of 15 men went down and the service and planning of rooms and food was great. They made it so easy to arrange everyone. The food at the restaurant was great and affordable for what we received.

Expensive Winkler
I have stayed at the hotel before when it was under the Protea Banner. It now appears to be under new ownership. I was very unhappy with their rates. I paid nearly double what I paid last year for the same duration in July. If money is immaterial, the hotel is a decent choice. If budget matters I cannot recommend this hotel again.

Fantastic hotel and location to access Kruger
Pity it was just one night. Would have enjoyed a week. Isolated location but fronts a good road to Kruger and Johannesburg . Hotel and grounds lovely. We had a large room with double balcony and views of the swimming pool.

Very peaceful and quiet surroundings, hotel needs some attention. Tennis courts needs fixing, rooms require some extra care as many things were broken or not in the room. Swimming pool needs cleaning

Where are we?
Booked and paid for a family room - the only available rooms at the time, but got a smaller standard room, no refrigerator, just a cupboard that used to contain one, toilet didn't flush, no in room wifi.
