Special invite to all travelers you should come to this hotel ! This time I stayed two days in the Villa it was breathtaking - beautiful spacious - well ventilated - peaceful - beautiful art - loved the walk-in closet, the big pool outside fabulous , that swinging special chair in the shade outside in the villa priceless . staff very professional great customer etiquette. Heated private pool was amazing ( I enjoyed the fact that its deep) - I am not sure how you got the heated pool and that tree together like that but it was very special, that setup or combination put your hotel on another level (International standard)- precious experience indeed '.

We loved the design of this hotel. It was like Ethan Allen had had a hand in decorating the public spaces - it was so perfectly boho British Colonial. We loved the cozy bar and the lush plantings on the grounds of the hotel. Also loved the breezeway with the coy pond on the way to the bar and restaurant. Our room was very comfortable. The staff was laid back while still being professional. We have stayed in many places in South Africa that were super-duper deluxe. We liked that The Residence felt more homey and comfortable without being over the top.

Fantastic, welcoming and comfortable property - old world charm with modern amenities. Staff were very engaging and we felt very relaxed. Unfortunately we were only there one night - but we enjoyed everything from airport pick-up, check in, delicious dinner and great breakfast selection to the transfer back to the airport. A special mention for the fire pit - a lovely place to sit and relax. Also beautiful big tub in the bathroom, and super comfy beds. Thanks to The Residence for a great experience, definitely keen to come back for a longer stay.

Dinner was great. I had the Salmon. My husband had the Pork belly. Listening to live romantic piano play while dining was a bonus. Breakfast was delicious. Lovely view on the garden. Staff (service) were super helpful and friendly. Room were spacious with big bathroom. Management provided a festive bottle of bubbles and 2 glasses in our room for our anniversary. Thank you for that! :)

I was absolutely blown away by The Residence. Each area is tastefully and elegantly decorated, the facilities are spotless and well thought out, and it truly felt like I was in another world. A peaceful and memorable experience - in all my travels I don't believe I have experienced a room as spectacular as the Penthouse at The Residence.
