We read the reviews of Avalon Springs and were completely amused by others misfortune (unkind, I know). We decided to check it out regardless. Before checking in we snooped at the room and the hot springs and decided it was safe to stay a night. We stayed during the week and I imagine the horror stories already reported must happen... More

We urge all those with their hard earned money NOT to visit this once lovely hotel. Exhausted from a gruelling road trip to the Little Karoo, we thought we would leave our 'best for last', as we have visited the Avalon Springs for a number of years, enjoying our past experiences. 1. After two hours of waiting for towels, and... More

Its decor is tastless ... clorine containers used as rubbish bins.children's choo choo train penny arcade rides... bad loud music intermittently blared from the bar.... mould in the changing rooms -- crazy golf course next to the tepid and non functioning jakuzzi and screaming kids in dissapointed couples arms queing from the one warm spot ---- awful awful awful ---...

We visited the hot springs spa last week (April 2012) for the second time as a family for a day-visit (so we didn't actually stay overnight just to be clear). We used the pools, slides and recreational facilities. Whilst this place offers the potential of a fun and enjoyable place to entertain our 11 & 9 year old, it fails... More

We spend almost the whole Easter Weekend here. I say "almost" because we decided to check-out a day earlier due to the disappointing experience.This place has all the potential to be a fantastic resort but unfortunately, in my opinion, it lacks proper leadership. 1. The staff, although friendly, has clearly not beein trained in hospitality techniques. 2. Housekeeping was the... More

The space was a bit more touristy and crowded than I had expected. However, if you find a good space to put your stuff and to wade in the water, farther from the crowds (and kids...), it can be a quite relaxing time.

My husband and I had been to Montagu Springs a few times before, but decided to spoil ourselves to 2 days at the Avalon Springs hotel instead. My husband has been ill for nearly a year and I had undergone a major operation at the end of last year so we thought it would be nice to go away and... More

This was a quick weekend break from home. A short drive, reasonable price and a spur of the moment decision. We booked the AVALON Suite (most luxurious). It's hilarious. Black marble everywhere. Like the set of a 70's porn film. It's an unrenovated piece of 70's kitch, perfectly preserved. The development of the natural spring could not have been worse... More
