Drakenstein Vacation Rentals

"This is a very lovely hotel, pictures do not it justice. The staff is kind and breakfast is outstanding! I highly recommend a table Mountain View room, you won’t regret it! "

"There works are rude "

"Great breakfast. Large, comfortable rooms with good a/c; two nice pools and beautiful grounds in a great position within walking distance of downtown Paarl but with a secluded feel "

"Friendly helpful staff"

"Great property. Well appointed. Amazing views. "

"Property unsuitable for wheelchair users. Pool area accessible va a steep 12 foot bank only. Unsafe for wheelchair users. This s needs to be stipulated on website. No accessible bathroom in the rooms. Staff were lovely and views beautiful. "

"Overall, I was underwhelmed by my stay at this hotel, which is unfortunate because if not for my bad experiences with staff, I would stay here again. The cons: The staff at this hotel discriminates against their guest according to skin color. This is said not on the basis of 1 experience but several. As a young woman traveling alone, I shouldn't expect anything less than decorum from the male staff there and the receptionist. They offer preferential treatment to their white guests and disrespect single traveling women of color and strange because …. The staff are also people of color. Single women take caution at this hotel. I was disrespected twice by the front door staff. The shuttle driver would not let me on the shuttle after letting the white guests on because “I needed my name on the list” yet he had no idea if I was on the list or not. As I tried to get on, he’d dance around me to block me from entering. I was then told by one of them that “the hotel doesn’t let just anyone on the bus”. I was also looked at inappropriately by the doorman. The perks are that you are right next to a majestic beach, the restaurants inside the hotel offer you a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset, the waiters and chefs and very kind. The food (esp. breakfast) is very good but the cost for breakfast was a rip-off. When I purchased my reservation, I was told breakfast would be $8 or about 120 rands at the time, when I went to breakfast, they charged me $18 or 300 rands instead. "

"Couteus staff!"

"The room was spacious and high-end and the meals served in the restaurant were lovely whilst also being rather cheap. I would stay again. :)"
