The hotel has a great location on the banks of the Vaal River. The views from the rooms are great. The room was a bit dated with furniture and bedding a bit worn, however the room was clean and served its purpose. Reception staff were great, really friendly and always ready to assist. Unfortunately the restaurant staff spoiled all that... More

Hotel has beautiful views of the Vaal river. Rooms clean but lounge area in executive suite could be improved by using the services of an interior designer. Would have preferred a proper shower in an executive suite. The owners (Zorgvliet Wine Estate) must really consider sending their staff on proper training. After 20 minutes in the Matthews restaurant nobody had... More

I have traveled all over the world and stayed at some of the best hotels. The food here is definitely up with the top hotels, and in some cases, like the oxtail, by far the best I have ever eaten. The presentation of the food as well as the selection in the buffet is fantastic. The room was stunning, with... More

We chose to stay here based on the good reviews but were bitterly dissapointed. the rooms are old and dingy. the service was shocking and the food by the pool resturant was terrible. They offer Spagetti bolognaise but they cook the mince with chutney? they put chilli salt on the french fries even though they knew it was for a... More

I went with my wife and small kids for a long weekend. A really nice getaway from Joburg. Staff were super friendly, but service was almost non existent. It may as well have been self catering. It started the moment we arrived, the porter only arrived after I had unpacked the car and loaded the trolley. They server a great... More

My husband had booked us a stay here for the weekend as we needed to be in Vereeniging for a kart race. I must confess to not even being able to pronounce the name of the town, so approached the weekend with some trepidation! What a pleasant surprise... All the staff at the hotel were super friendly and attentive, and... More

We were looking for a quiet break from Johannesburg for 1 night and didn't want to travel too far. We thought a 5 star hotel on the Vaal sounded like the best option. The service was very good and rooms decent and comfortable with a great view of the river. The problem was the wedding that happened around the pool... More

The staff are willing to make your stay as welcoming and comfortable as possible. They even have a discreet sign in your room asking if you preference for a choice of 4 different types of pillows (feather pillows, contour pillows etc). Didn't have much of an opportunity to enjoy the facilities, as we spent most of our time in the... More
