• "Wonderful stay in Willowmore"

  18 May 2022

  "We loved the beautiful old building, the old furniture, the wine, the food, the hospitality. The hostess, El-Ann, couldn't have been more helpful, thoughtful and kind. We recommend this place unhesitatingly. Do yourself a favour, if driving anywhere near there, a book a night at this lovely place!"

  "The service and food was excellent in spite of the fact that Willowmore had been without power for the whole day due to heavy rain on the previous day. The historical items and photographs were most interesting."

  "The staff were super efficient and made us feel very welcome - the food was excellent ! The three dogs were very well behaved and added to the welcome by making us feel very much at home. The decor and furnishings of the building are exquisite ! One negative was although there was place for mosquito netting over the bed it was not supplied - there are tons of mosquitoes !"

• "Bleak, cold and scruffy"

  12 August 2016

  "Need i say more. Probably one of the most awful places I have ever stayed. Their rooms were like ice, the heaters supplied had not got adapters that enabled themtk be plugged inane the rooms had not been aired after a fire. <br/><br/>Even in the main hotel lounge the decor was tired and there was no ounce of the graciousness one expected from the website<br/><br/>"

• "Wish we stayed longer, loved every minute."

  "<p>Great place to stay and not just for 1 night either. Very comfortable room, friendly staff, relaxing pool and garden. Best of all the dining experience. Stunning setting and food to match. Highly recommended.</p><p></p>"

  "We stayed for one night only (business) in a spacious outside room using their bed, breakfast and dinner special. The portions are huge - we desperately wanted dessert but it was impossible. Very friendly staff too."

• "Nice old establishment with character"

  28 December 2014

  "It is a very nice place in the middle of nowhere. There are not many places that serve such nice home cooked meals I would suggest they put a little bit more effort into the overhaul maintenance and up keeping of the place. My unit the roof has been leaking on a couple of place which left those ugly black marks on the ceiling. The shower has been re-tiled but this must have been he's first because its really looks bad. The swimming pool are in desperate need of a new coat of paint. I am just worried that if things starting to deteriate like this within a year or two it wont be worth visiting"

  "We rented the guest cottage accross the road from the main guest house. It's very spacious, but fixtures, fittings and furniture are dated. The cottage definitely needs some renovations. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay."

  "We had a lovely overnight stay at Willow - our room was comfortable and our bathroom spotlessly clean. The food was great - we enjoy good food and wine. Portions were generous and lipsmackingly good! Everything - the gorgeous crockery, cutlery and background music from yesteryear in the restaurant - made for a special dinner atmosphere. Molly was an exceptional hostess, making us feel right at home from arrival to departure. Willowmore stole our hearts in the short time that we spent there - we will be back to come and explore the rest of the Baviaanskloof."
