It is a getaway place with that country touch. If you need time to your self then this is the place for you. Spacious room with heated flooring and that works very well for me especially in winter season. A colleague of mine had a challenge with lack of warm water in his room but the matter was resolved later... More

Thank you to Lisa and the staff for a wonderful visit. Tastefully decorated rooms not overdone and with gorgeous views, a delicious meal enjoyed in the old world charm of the dining room and rounded off with a mouth-watering breakfast. All of this taking place in the most delightful of settings -a rural, woody garden, tranquil river,paths for walks -... More

I am going to try to not repeat too many of the comments already detailed under the Excellent category as I cannot dispute any of them. What a perfect place for a quiet getaway for a day or a week or more. Most, if not all, rooms look out over large perfectly manicured lawns and lovingly tended gardens leading to... More

My husband and I spent one night at Willowbrook back in February, and were really taken by the place. It has that lovely personal touch that is often absent from bigger hotels, and our stay was a delightful surprise. The owner, Lisa, is a force to be reckoned with - Originally from Italy she fell in love with South Africa... More

There are not many places where we felt so welcome, loved and relaxed -almost as in our own families. There are only 12 rooms, we had the beautiful suite with nearly 80 m2 and our own terrasse and garden. It was our second stay (after 2004) and the team consisting mainly of Lisa, Marie, Marlè, Maggie and Duane (Top Sommelier!)... More

Dear Guest, We were very disappointed to read your comments regarding your recent brief visit to Willowbrook. However after talking with the Lodge Manager which was on duty on the evening of your arrival, I would like to clarify a few points. When you arrived at our premises a very clear printed sign was hanged on the reception door asking... More

The kitchen is one of the best. We went to luxuriousness restaurants such as Rubens in Franshhoek but we preferred the restaurant back in the hotel. The people are very nice and helpful, that's why we went back for the second time this year. The location is also a plus. In all, we had a very, very good stay and... More
