We stayed at this resort in January 2013 and went as a whole big family. The resort is like stepping back into the 80's literally or a bit like Dirty Dancing without Patrick Swayze (and the dancing). The Resort as a whole is well looked after. The main reception and communal areas and pools need updating but the lawns are... More

Enjoyed every minute that we were there. 30 years ago we spent our honeymoon at this resort. We were not dissapointed then and certainly not dissapointed during our visit now Oct/Nov 2012. Nothing was too much for the staff and made us happy at all times. The meals wre superb. We enjoyed the lovely gardens and country settings

What a nightmare from the start at check in - we had asked for the renovated rooms when making the booking and were put in rooms that were out of the 1970's, We were then put in rooms that were close to a cemetery and did not lock, had a leaky aircon with a bucket left in the middle of... More

Let me say at the outset that I was a day visitor to the the Hunters Rest Hotel for the Sunday Buffet Lunch. I therefore have nothing to copntribute about the accommodation. I live close by. First off, Hunters has a lovely setting in well groomed grounds that offer a host of activities. The main building is well kept and... More

Booking was a bit difficult. Facilities are great for kids. Staff are friendly and helpful but a bit disorganised at times. However, every effort was made to keep us happy. Very realxing and a great experience.

The dining staff is excellent. However, the rooms are dated & below par. Views of the mountainous range is gorgeous.

I had a very relaxing weekend at Hunters Rest Hotel. Went back home a new person! Reception staff were very efficient and welcoming. Stepped into a lovely cool room. And I am a sucker for a turndown service! I enjoyed a lazy weekend at the pool. Strolled around in the well-tended gardens with huge trees. The food was delicious. A... More

A fantastic weekend getaway! We've been to Hunters Rest about 5 times and every time we're excited to return and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. So relaxing to sit out by the beautiful pool and enjoy an early sundowner. The mountain view from the dinning hall patio is magnificent. A real gem!

Family of three, with a 3 year old boy spent 6 days at hunters rest over christmas 2011 The standard family room was clean, the air conditioning was effective and the little room for our boy was a bonus. I think I would have described the standard of the room as tired. A good 10 years overdue for a refurbishment.... More

I stayed at Hunters in October this year, 2011. My company booked me last minute and they could accommodate me. I stayed for a few days and had such a fantastic experience. The new management has done an amazing job thus far and since my last visit last year, the energy was different. All the facilities and the location is... More
