Thanda Manzi Country Hotel

Comfortable stay The stay was comfortable. The room lacked carpets/rugs and as such made it uncomfortable. Lack of minibar/fridge is also a concern. The dinner menu was extremely limited (only 6 options available).

I won this getaway, 2 years ago and for some reason i just could not get there I recently lost my dad and then my nephew - and i think this was used in perfect timing This was just what the doctor ordered, i needed the ME time, the food was amazing, the staff are so amazing and friendly Moses (trainee) - very friendly and so helpful I will definitely be back

I booked a private picnic for my partner's birthday and it was Amazing. The location is perfect.staff was friendly from security to the kitchen staff.highly recommend.

The staff was very friendly and very welcoming, and the cleanliness , we enjoyed every single moment of our stay with you guys, talking about the welcoming part yooooh and you receptionists, he’s very friendly, confident,helpful good to engage with…..

Beautiful hidden gem nestled by the riverside. Very cozy and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed good food and there was plenty of privacy during our stay which was peaceful. We went on a great hike, and liked being nestled in nature.

We visited for a birthday celebration with good friends. The Good The venue was delightful, on a river and the tables are nicely separated and all have a lovely view over the river. Directions were good and there was ample parking. The Bad As drinks arrived the waiter stumbled and drenched a patron with iced water. No towel was provided, no apology by management, no replacement serviettes, and the cushion was only replaced after request. After this initial drinks round, we were not offered refreshment of drinks orders again. The live saxophonist was a nice touch but the volume was so high we couldn’t talk freely. The Ugly 1. The welcome bread was served with a single bowl of soup for the table in place of butter. This created hygiene problems with all of us wanting to dip. 2. The food took 90 mins after ordering, and one meal arrived a further ten mins later 3. When our orders arrived, both lamb chops orders were dry and over-cooked, the sirloin steak special was tough, and the humus side was actually tahini in a bowl. The prawn curry portion was 150ml, the sides were mixed up, the deserts arrived over a ten minute period, the Dom Pedro’s order had no vanilla ice cream so we were offered chocolate ice cream as a replacement. 4. The costs of the main courses were around R320-R360 each. All in all a disappointing afternoon at a picturesque view. At least we were in lovely company with friends.
