Didn't stay there. Just booked a table to have dinner and watch rugby. Got there and the table wad changed and no seating left. Fortunately a kind guest allowed us to share his table. The wagu burger was a densely packed mince and hard. The chips were good. The first night we had the special beef stew. Amazing!

I had a zipline experience which was awesome! What great fun. Winters are cold but the indoor fireplaces sets the tone. Maybe a hot tub or indoor pool could be added, especially in Winter. Buffet breakfasts always a winner 🏆 Will definitely visit again.

We did a one-night stay from Saturday to Sunday at Houw Hoek Hotel, and what an incredible experience! Check-in was an absolute breeze, and the staff were professional, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we arrived. A special mention must go to Levona at reception , always with a big smile, so friendly, and she gave us such a warm welcome. She truly set the tone for our stay. The facilities are fantastic! There’s something for everyone .. paddle courts, putt-putt, a zip line, and the option of two pools to relax at. The food and beverage menu offers great variety and caters to all tastes.And A cocktail and Wine menu that kept my wife very happy 😊. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and the shower facilities are just as impressive. The property itself is so expansive and beautiful that you almost feel lost in time,..its peaceful, relaxing, and refreshing. It was more than just an overnight stay… it felt like a reset. Definitely a 5-star experience from me, and I highly recommend it!
