Adequate Stay with SOME Issues

small gym tough croissants
The staff were professional and the location had beautiful scenery.
The gym was REALLY small and had old equipment, surprising. Breakfast was disappointing and not very fresh. I thought the croissants were tough, and there were flies all over the buffet.

cederberg stay

local wildlife cave art stargazing experience
i found the guided tours very informative. the guide had extensive knowledge of local wildlife. i enjoyed the cave art exploration and game drives. the stargazing experience was very nice. i also had a wonderful ostrich steak. i appreciated the vergelegen wine selection and my luxurious room.
the gym equipment seemed outdated. i noticed the gym itself was quite small for a resort of this size.
