Very good weekend away in this hotel with my colleagues. I enjoyed it. We arrived to a great dinner on friday, joined by Jacques Slabbert the General Manager and other staff members. We were like 1 happy family like we always knew each other. A great service at the bar. I had a peaceful good night sleep and i woke up to a wonderful breakfast with 1 variety of food. We took a tour to the waterfall, very challenging for fitness,but worth it. The rest of the weekend went all excellent, I love it.

My special thanks to Jacques the General Manager at Magoebaskloof Hotel. We had a memorable evening at the pool and pub. The food was excellent - best cheff ever!!!! Friendly staff.
