“I loved staying there. Nice breakfast, and really nice pool and the staff were delightful. Conveniently located not too far from a mall and also the Norwood shopping area. There is a “Spar” and a “Woolworths” food store where you can find incredible snacks. Deli stuff like great pickled herring! There is also a Schwarma restaurant on the main street that has amazing lamb schwarma and salads. Very authentic middle eastern! If you like “Biltong” (jerky SA style) the meat shop next to the gas station has really good biltong!” – Gabriel TripAdvisor.
