Hottentots-Holland Nature Reserve, Western Cape hotel rooms at the Independent

"yes"

"Booked a seaview room but initially given a loft. After complaining was upgraded to a lovely room. 2 friends were given complimentary dinner as no other rooms available "

"I can’t fault this hotel or the service. Loved everything. Beautiful hotel and such lovely staff. Nice pool area with either full sun or shaded areas around the pool. The rooms were really nice with a balcony overlooking the pool area. Breakfast was really good. Lots of choice and great quality. I highly recommend staying at this hotel. It would be good if the hotel had a gym. "

"Beautifully refurbished hotel & rooms, excellent service. Only downside is the price!"

"Absolutely stunning room, so big and spacious. Brand new and very modern and luxurious, the breakfast was great the pool was great. "

"Lovely stay overall. The setting is beautiful and very relaxing. Breakfast was made to order and consistently excellent, and we really enjoyed the complimentary wine tasting each day at 5:30pm—a lovely touch that added to the experience. The bathrooms, while very clean, could benefit from some modernising and refurbishment. One small note: pool service was a bit slow, and there is a tray charge and tip automatically included with pool drink orders. The amount is minimal, but it would be helpful if this were made clear prior to ordering, or simply included in the drink prices. Overall, a wonderful stay and a place we would happily return to."

"Warm welcome. Beautifully decorated room with all the necessary features. Very comfortable bed and flexible bathroom (small point- water pressure in the bath could be better). The plunge pool was relaxing with enough chezlongue for all guests. Food was very good with an interesting contrast between Epice and Protege. Would highly recommend for a relaxing breqk or longer holiday. We already considering when we can go back."

"Really lovely stay here. Staff were so lovely. Bed so comfy and really relaxing vibe around the pool. We order a cheese platter and wine and the staff bought it out to us at the pool, mad us feel very spoilt. Will defo go back "

"Rooms where clean and well taken care of staff was kind and thoughtful "
