Reviews from previous Waterford Manor guests
“We really enjoyed our time at Waterford Manor, Nicholas was a great host, patient with the children and always ready to help when needed. Breakfasts were delicious. The setting of Waterford Manor is perfect for families with children that enjoy being outdoors. The Mooi river runs through the grounds and there are resident paradise flycatchers and sunbirds to be seen every day. The trails through the woods on the property were also a big hit. Beautiful setting and great location for a break in the Midlands,” wrote ipapad890099 on their TripAdvisor page.
IanC added; “Our family of four (Mum, Dad and 2 boys) had a wonderful midweek stay at Waterford. Nick, our host, was exceptional. We felt immediately that Waterford was our home from home. We had a blast playing in the river, fishing, canoeing, bird watching, hiking in the most beautiful location. We are definitely going to stay at Waterford again.”
