Stunning Decor

I absolutely loved staying in the Luxury Twin Room. The decor was stunning, the comfort was great, and everything was impeccably clean. It truly felt like a 5-star experience! I can't wait to return.

Great Entertainment Options

My room came equipped with a flat-screen TV and DStv, which was a good addition to my stay. I could enjoy my favorite shows after a long day of exploring. The amenities left in the room, including the kettle and complimentary coffee and tea, made it feel even more like home.

Massive Shower!

I was blown away by the bathroom's massive shower. The water pressure was fantastic, and the complimentary toiletries made my morning routine so much easier. It was definitely one of the highlights of the room!

Delicious Buffet Breakfast

The buffet breakfast offered each morning was a fantastic start to my day. Everything felt fresh and tasty. Though it could be improved, I appreciated the effort put into providing a variety of options for guests.
