Hotel Reviews
The Victoria & Alfred Hotel
Cape Town

Perfect location for exploring the Waterfront. Hotel staff could not be more helpful. Rooms were ample and comfortable. Breakfasts were a full assortment of options! Great stay

Authenticity & Character
Decor was modern and elegant
Location
Ease of access to waterfront sights and restaurants
Staff
Always helpful and kind
Cleanliness & Comfort
Rooms were super comfortable. Our second stay our room was a little less in size and cleanliness but nothing we would complain about
Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp
Kruger National Park

Beyond our expectations! The luxury, set up, facilities and decor are fabulous but the privacy and personal accommodations for only 8 made the experience perfect for our travelling group of friends. Staff, particularly Cortne and Brett, made it feel like home and expanded our experience tenfold! Food was truly fantastic every single meal. Hats off the the chef team!

Authenticity & Character
The whole facility was decorated and accessorized impeccably! Beautiful African art and decor
Location
Secluded and private and beautiful!
Staff
Court Emilia is an incredible, professional and kind hostess that made each of us feel special and at home; Brett and Ozzie’s knowledge of the animals and the bush made us feel safe and we saw so much each time out! Sippo at the bar and all of the support staff were always available; Sabu the masseuse had such a wonderful technique; and last, but by no means least the chef and their team were fantastic! Every meal was a gem, every every meal!
Cleanliness & Comfort
La Fontaine Boutique Hotel

The grounds are lovely, pool options great after a day touring, and the rooms so spacious and comfortable! Breakfast was lively and so good!
