As the name suggests, this is a true Country House hotel with period furnishings and decor and old fashioned good service. The rooms are lavish, and we had the most comfortable bed I have slept in for years. Food is superb - the only problem is eating too much! Good selection of wines and staff are knowledgeable about their selection.... More

A lovely hotel, with a Colonial ambience. Rooms were extremely spacious and tastefully appointed. Much attention to detail with many room extras including comprehensive coffee machine, fruit basket and homemade shortbreads. We eat in the hotel restaurant - don't eat anywhere else - it was superb and great value for money. The breakfast was the best throughout our trip. Only... More

We had a nice stay here - room was beautiful and spacious, tennis court and swimming pool were great to use. The service was hit or miss, upon early arrival we were very pleased to find our room was ready.

Our room was spotlessly clean and the little touches that the hotel provided made us feel so special. We ate in the restaurant that evening, the... More

A very comfortable room and bed, along with a friendly and helpful staff, make this a winner. Like staying at a Victorian estate house in England. Good, made to order breakfast. Located on a quiet suburban side street on a large garden estate, less than 10 minutes from the Port Elizabeth airport. A fun change of pace from corporate hotel... More

We stayed for the first night of our holiday after a long flight from Sydney. The location is excellent being just 5 mins drive from the airport. The house retains all it's charm and the rooms are first class. I loved the bathroom in our room. We were the only guests staying and were looked after like family. The service... More
