Awesome Winter stay

friendly staffelectric blanketsmini barbuffet breakfast
The staff was friendly. I noted the attention to detail. The room provided electric blankets and also underfloor heating in the bathroom. The complimentary mini bar in the room and complimentary cocktails at their E Bar was excellent. I also found the Kraal restaurant to be pretty good. Meal portions seemed large, and their buffet breakfast included mimosas.
The room curtains seemed heavy. They don't move smoothly on the rails.
