Clearly a very unique property, that definitely would have been in its hay day incredible. Situated amongst an amazing gold course with incredible views, set in large grounds, with swimming pool, spa and tennis court, plus a winery to boot. Sadly you can see the property exterior/gardens/maintenance slowly deteriorating. The rooms are huge, very clean, and a little dated as well. Restaurant for dinner (being a public holiday) was really good. Great staff, very friendly and definitely a must stay, see and do as there are so many activities available also.

Stay away until they fix the water issue.
They told us that they were having water problems but we could brush our teeth and shower. Ugg, the water was brown!!! Who wants to use brown water? They also said they would provide bottled water. They gave us one!!! Dinner was fine, the property is nice but we left without showering. Didn't feel so good that day.

The property is in a stunning location. The villas are in a run down condition with power points that don't work and when I arrived I had to fix the blinds that noone had maintained. Worse was the state of the water which was literally brown, both hot and cold and wasn't safe to drink and dried out the skin after a shower. The swimming pool was cold. When we called reception it took about 5 minutes for an answer and sometimes there was no answer in the late afternoons. The breakfasts were unaffordable.
