The hotel is located in a lovely, peaceful area that is ideal for unwinding, close to the road and convenient for accessing Polokwane. However, I found the rooms to be smaller than expected, and a self-catering option would have made things easier, especially since a microwave wasn't available in the room. The dining prices were on the high side but the meals were delicious, especially the breakfast.

The hotel is a bit on the outskirts, and it took us about 10 km to get into the CBD, so it's not the most convenient for city access. Navigating there was a little complicated as it didn't lead straight to the hotel on Google Maps unless you knew the area.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location is super convenient, being right next to the highway, the rooms were smaller than I had hoped, and quite noisy as they are next to a train track.

The hotel is situated on the outskirts, which made access a bit tricky, and I had a few frustrating experiences getting there.
