Lots of character, beautiful old building, lovely views, on the Midlands Meander. Lovely pub and restaurant. Our waitress Nomfundo, who served us in the pub and restaurant was excellent. She was very friendly. She made a fire in the pub at our request. Anne, the manageress/receptionist was also very friendly and helpful. The dinner was very tasty and good value for money. There were many breakfast options available to order from an a la cart menu. Suites are spacious, have patios and fireplaces, with plenty of firewood supplied.

Dinner is from 17h30 until 19h30. Last order 19h00 /19h30, which is far too early. I booked 2 suites for the same price. One room had a comfy 2 seater couch and a king size bed, while the other had 2 wicker chairs and a double bed. (This room, no. 6, did not look like the photos I’d seen when I booked.) The bed was comfortable however.

We had the most relaxing stay ever in the stunning charm of this heritage country inn. The staff are the gems of this place with such warmth and friendliness that we felt at home instantly. The restaurant food was delicious and the fireplaces in all rooms were the highlight. We appreciated the generosity of free firewood and biscuits and rusks in the rooms for tea. We will definitely stay here again as we loved the place.

There was nothing we could fault.

we loved the beautiful buildings and stunning surroundings. We loved the family room we stayed in and the magnificent views. We loved the green gardens and roses and flowers. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety of choices - we ate outside looking out to the langkloof and stunning surrounds and to the sound of frogs and cicadas . The hosts were extremely friendly and warm which made the stay even more perfect.

We loved everything about this property!

Lovely quaint and charming inn, with a wonderful little restaurant and attentive staff. Our room was spotless and spacious with a very comfy bed and good linen. We loved the fire place and comfy seating area.

There was not much not to like except the TV was very out of date and tiny with very little selection to watch. No complimentary water in the room and the bathroom although very clean and spacious could do with a revamp.

Beautiful,peaceful and tells a great story. Historical property,boasting old school charm. Our room was spacious with a fireplace,perfect for the cold Midland's nights. Complimentary welcome drink. Toiletries provided. Clean and big swimming pool in good proximity to the rooms. The property is impeccably clean. Food was absolutely divine with portions so big,we could not finish our meals. Exceptional service by the whole team. Highly recommendable. Thank you Clinton and team,we enjoyed our stay.

Can do with a few touch ups here and there,to the couch,cupboards and bathroom. A suggestion, to please supply drinking water to the rooms. I made contact three times trying to request an early check-in but received no response.

We love the history of the place. The staff was friendly and accommodating from arrival till we left. Dinner and breakfast were of very high quality, tasty and good value for money. The apple crumble for dessert was baked to perfection and we love the chef. The bed was very comfortable. The fireplace was lovely as it was very cold. We will definitely use Halliwell in as our regular stop over on our way to the sea.

The bedside lamps were not working effectively, but that is understandable it was due to long hours of load shedding. The amenities were fantastic, just which they had some tissue available.

A lovely old farmhouse with plenty of character amongst beautiful, tranquil scenery and lovely gardens. The staff members are delightful and nothing is too much trouble. The views are magnificent and sweeping and the birdsong is a constant. Excellent value for money.

The property is tired in places and could do with an update, especially the bathrooms.

An establishment steeped in history that has been well maintained. Staff friendly and helpful and the meals are well prepared and tasty, of which the cost is reasonable. Unfortunately the weather didnt play its role, so we were unable to explore the gardens and the area around the hotel, but, we will be back.

The electricity supply to the room kept tripping, it was however a stormy evening.

It’s a typical old fashioned hotel with all its features and eccentricities

We stayed in the valley room 1 - the entrance and exit point was very muddy due to rainy weather- they could do something to stabilize the ground either with cement struts or even gravel or chipped bark so vehicles are given traction to get into their entrance - we had a off-road vehicle which made it easier for us to navigate through the mud

Friendly and attentive staff. Large room and bathroom with sufficient towels. Clean spaces. Delicious breakfast and dinner. Beautiful grounds with horses at the back. The fireplace is such a great feature.

The WiFi was available but weak, unfortunately. It also would have been good to have cleaning products for the bath tub instead of having to wait for housekeeping.
