Room 86 was large & clean with great bedlinen. Pity the TV didn't work even after a room service attendant tried new batteries in remote. For the price I expected a bath. No room service menu in room & the food tired and cold when eventually it came. Insufficient tea bags and old outdated service platform with sterimilk when fridge could have had fresh milk. Breakfast poor & a broken toaster. no-one knew how to repair. Attendants largely dismissive and poorly trained. Everything seems run-down and out of date so a disappointing visit overall. And insufficient notice warning of what seemed like a septic tank swamp and nothing protecting guests walking across the wet lawns. The best of it all was a Spa massage and sauna which was well priced and provided

We had a good stay at the hotel and the food was really tasty. The view of the mountain from our balcony was amazing. The only criticism I have, was that the hot water ran out after one shower on our second day there

We went to the houwhoek inn for our anniversary weekend away. We were met with pleasant helpful staff at a very quaint and historic building. Our room was clean and tidy and a bit more than I had expected with amazing Mountain View’s.

Booked lunch for mothers day. What a disappointment. We had to explain the difference between fried and grilled calamari to our waitress several times, despite the option being on their menu. In the end we asked her to rather write it down on her note pad. Ordered hake served on rice and they forgot the rice. We ended up with a plate of rice to be shared by the table after informing them thay they forgot the rice. Asked for salt and pepper after being served we got packets of salt and pepper as you would at a take away restaurant. There was mess up with our bill. Forgot knives and forks. Your local wimpy and spur would be 100% better. No windows open despite serving 30 plus guest. Will not recommend. Will not be going back. Blast from the past.

I have not been to Houw Hoek hotel for 30 years. I was pleasantly surprised to see many upgrades additional accommodation and the additional if a SPA. The lawns around the hotel are like a carpet which blends in beautifully with the trees and mountain vistas. Staff were friendly and the food was better than expected. I will stay there again soon.

We had a two night stay in order to visit the Elgin area. The room was spacious and attractive with good carpets, a wonderful large and very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom with a large walk-in shower and plenty of hot water. The staff were most friendly and the quality of the meals was good.

We stayed in this hotel to cut the road between our safari and the cape. The hotel is very good value for money, it is affordable with lots of activities for families. The small point to improve would be the equipment in the game spaces which have had their day and are no longer functional for a large part. The hotel is a little far from the main activities, however it is located close to a small local shop which offers quite a few things. This is a hotel that we recommend for small budgets. You can have a very good stay.

Nominally clean and tidy. In need of a refurbishment. Staff friendly and helpful but service on the slow side
