The hotel is set in a period building, however the interiors are very modern, stylish and stunningly well designed. The service was excellent, and the breakfast (which was included in the room rate) was first class. We ate in the restaurant in the evening which served an excellent tapas meal which is great for sharing. I would highly recommend this hotel

Six bed roomed property close to all amenities in Fort Fairy. Modern spacious rooms with excellent facilities. Buffet breakfast using locally sourced ingredients. Staff very friendly and helpful . Communication from the property very good.
Would recommend staying here if in the area.
