After walking out of the Safari Lodge we needed a hotel for just two nights, and arrived at the Halyards Hotel where the staff could not have been more attentive and courteous. Although only a three star, for some reason, the room was, effectively, a large suite, with separate loo and bathroom. We chose the luxury package, with welcome basket,... More

Lovely setting with beautiful views, clean rooms serviced daily, great food and exceptional service from all staff. Rented a boat from the hotel. Lovely pool area with bar. Will definitely visit the hotel again!

We stayed at the hotel for one night in November 2012. The area is lovely. Very clean, well kept and beautiful. The views down the river are great, especially at sunset. The room was clean, modern and spacious. No faults at all. The doors opened out onto the riverbank which was lovely! We didn't try the food but the restaurant... More

The service was exceptional from the time we arrived to the time we departed. The food was very reasonably priced (R65,00), for a full on buffet on Friday night. We did not have the seafood buffet on Saturday night, but the menu looked great.The hotel does need maintenance in places( due to old age), but at least it was very... More

I have lived in SA for many years and on a recent trip back, to visit family, we decided to stay at the Halyards. When it opened it was known as a good hotel, and despite the many negative reviews online, we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, all the negative reviews were right. The hotel is well situated,... More
