We were enroute Kruger National Park to Johannesburg, so only needed one night stayover at this hotel... and we wish we had more time there!
It was such a good hotel!!! The accommodation,
huge pool, service, food, gallery artwork... all are to a high standard and worth recommending.
You have the choice of staying in the hotel itself (big building), or in one of the
garden rooms... which is what we chose. It's quite
Roman in feel... with a central garden with sculptured figurines... surrounded on three sides by the garden rooms.
Each room has tea and coffee facilities, a TV, spacious bathroom, a separate area with a cupboard and space for your suitcase (they cater so well for travellers here!), and the furnishings are
contemporary and luxurious.
Unique Qualities: The unique quality lies in it's slogan:
"An art gallery you can sleep in..."... for it is exactly that! There is artwork in the form of paintings, sculptures, woodwork, industrial design, furniture etc. all around you. Whilst you enjoy your breakfast (in front of an open fire), or your dinner... you spend your time looking around at all the incredible artwork.
Most of it is
modern and contemporary - there is a really good mix here, from a wide variety of artists.
Each hotel room depicts a certain
artist whose paintings are in the room... they then co-ordinate the room furnishings and decor around the paintings colours and style.
They also offer meals to non residents, providing they have the space, so it's worth calling them.. as their food is amazing!
I will do a separate restaurant tip for the hotel as it is stand-alone.
