Extremely good value for money. Very homey atmosphere, buffet was very rich - something for everybody. Went there off season, only couples around. You won’t be bored- just looking at the beautiful scenery or taking part in one of the 10 000 activities on offer

This family hotel is run by a truly exceptional team. Family and friends from across the country gathered here with us for a very special memorial celebration in honour of our beloved mother. When our original plans had to be significantly changed, the hotel exceeded all expectations and accommodated us with warmth and care. A heartfelt thank you to Paul, Kevin, Sam, and the entire front of house team for going above and beyond to make this occasion so meaningful. We’re already looking forward to returning in the future.

Everything was absolutely fantastic! The staff, food, cleanliness, and the location. I'm a hiker, and the resort backed up onto the Drakensberg Gardens National Park, so many fantastic hikes. After a long day out on the trail, I could come back to a lovely room and relax, go to the sauna, or get a massage. Views were absolutely stunning! And if you have children, it's a fantastic place to take them: playground, swimming, canoeing on a safe pond, horseback riding, mini golf, zipline, etc, etc.

Margate is a quite little town, there are little treasure restaurants such as the Lobster Pot, The Waffle House and Tommy Sushi and Chinese Food. Don't order the Indian food, they have no clue what a biryani is (Paprika's).

Good morning, we are all set to leave at 9am thank you. Also please allow me to give a review that will also be shared on Bookings.com. Unfortunately, our stay did not meet expectations. The apartment had several cleanliness and maintenance issues. The door sign with the apartment number was hanging on a single screw, which looked unsafe. The white coffee cups had permanent stains, there was a significant amount of hair in the shower, and the sheets and duvet cover had visible stains. The curtains and pillows were also dirty and stained. With better attention to cleaning and maintenance, this could be a much better stay.

Overall, the place gave off "cheap, stingy" vibes.

Overall, the place gave off "cheap, stingy" vibes. Not value for money. We paid R17k for 4 nights at Fairways self catering and could not get fresh towels, the beds are uncomfy, the fireplace didn't work well, there isn't much for the kids to do when it's raining and cold. We booked for dinner only to be told they don't cater for kids and there's no other restaurant open. The jacuzzi temperatures are set way too high and ended up burning my skin. The only heated pool for kids gets too crowded, another heated pool for kids would be great.

So much to see and do in the area. We stayed for just two days but got to spend time on the beach and were given a great tour of Crocworld. Also enjoyed the Spur up at the Mall and John Dory's Fish Grill on the beach with a fantastic view of the whole beach area. Great beach-wear shop on the beach too.
