Disappointing stay and lack of management

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I wasn’t expecting luxury, I did at least expect the basics to be as advertised. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. First off, the service was bearable—the waiters and staff did their best, but it was clear that there was no real management overseeing anything. It felt like everything was just left up to them, and they were doing the best they could with little direction. The two restaurants was another letdown. A huge portion of the menu was unavailable, so we were left with very limited choices. If you’re advertising a diverse menu, you should at least be able to serve most of it. Overall, this place feels completely unorganized and mismanaged. The staff are trying, but without leadership, the whole experience falls flat. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re fine with a place running on autopilot.

It was raining cats and dogs and walking into reception with the fire burning was quite enjoyable. Reception was a pleasure and seemless. Rooms clean and well appointed. Even with load-shedding the essentials were working and the Grill Room gave excellent meals including breakfast. The only "question" I have is why breakfast only starts at 8. Does result in coming late at the office.

Floating in Paarl

Our stay was excellent as always but the reason why I have two points marked with a shortfall is that due to the rain our room (27) had a leak in the corner which soiled the carpet. I know it rained heavily but its still a problem I decided to report because it can cause mildew to form and the carpet destroyed.

There is no attention to detail and standards are not kept across the board. This could be an amazing place, but until someone cracks the whip this lovely place will be a bit disappointing. The main redeeming feature is location, it is stunning there.

Overall very happy!

Overall we where very happy with the friendliness of the staff and how beautiful the Estate was. Just want to give some advice to the estate, the room that we stayed in, all the doors and extractor fan in the bathroom were very squeaky and noisy and needed some oil.

Relaxing stay at Val De Charron

Accommodation good. There are two restaurants. The Italian restaurant terrible. Service was bad and food really not good. At the other restaurant the service and food was excellent.
