What was once a magnificent institution has unfortunately crumbled into a very average hotel with a lack of training and management. I wont return.

Check in was disorganised, unhelpful and a terrible overall experience. It was only when the duty manager stepped in that we received some form of assistance. Very disappointing for what was once a great hotel.
Cushions were split
Double sided tape stuck to the door
We were given a room that seemed like an assisted room (not required or wanted) that didn’t have a shower curtain/glass.
Simple housekeeping was non existent.

Jordaan's Making the Rounds

Room was beautiful. TV infront of the bed did not work. Staff did not show us around the property when we checked in. We had to find the gym, spa and restaurant ourselves. In the gym room there was no water and little towels. For a 5 star this is important. The room was beautiful and the bedding very comfortable. The garden is beautiful and the pool water is comfortable

Best option in charming Graaf Reinet

Another great overnight stay at one of the best small hotels in South Africa. Large comfortable room tastefully decorated surrounded by magnificent surrounds and gardens all centrally located in the charming town of Graaf Reinet and just a short stroll from great coffee shops and points of interest.

Unique hotel! The room was great - comfortable and spacious. The reception staff was friendly. However, we were not completely satisfied with the quality of the dinner dishes, as well as the service provided by the breakfast personnel. They messed up the food orders a few times, and it took forever to get our coffees.
