51 guests' feedbackVery comfortable stay. The rooms were very clean and neat. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff went out of their way to make us and our kids feel at home. The hotel is also in very close proximity to tourist attractions such as Little Paris and Harties Cableway.
Very good, service was great, staff very friendly, accommodating and professional.
The view was amazing!
Very peaceful and comfortable.
We stayed in room 6 for 4 nights - spacious, with a separate bathroom that includes a large bath with a view as well as a shower and toilet. The veranda is also particularly spacious and allows one to enjoy a 180 degree view of the dam. The bed was very comfortable and of course the air conditioning was also put to good use in a hot summer. Breakfast was good, including the coffee. A cot was also provided as we requested. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but I think there may be too few of them to adequately staff all the positions. The swimming pool was also very welcome and well used. The braai area next to the pool was also used and enjoyed one evening. There is a room under room 6 which functions almost like a common kitchen and social area, but unfortunately some of the appliances such as the oven and fridge/freezer do not work. At least we could hang out there with our friends who were staying in one of the other rooms. Unfortunately, there was also an incident where our room door was wide open on our return, after a day out on January 1st. So one star less for safety. We would love to stay there again!
Very nice stay, thank you very much! Amazing friendly staff. Many thanks at reception and delicious food!
Stay was lovely. Room was amazing. Restaurant service was not great. Reception service also good.
Breakfast was disappointing. We had to request food to be made as trays were empty. We arrived at 9:00 for breakfast with others after us. Had to ask for coffee to be made as this was empty too.
Just a quick wash in and out.
I will not stay there again. I couldn't set the aircon, no power points by the bed for mobile phone charger, no floor mats in the bathroom. It runs and slides after you shower. The shower taps are loose. It's not. 00 per night not worth it.
The guest house is beautiful, but the carpets in the room we slept in were dirty and could easily be washed a bit and the "grout" in the shower is black which says it hasn't been scrubbed or cleaned for a long time. Then there were the 2 ladies who slept above us who partied so badly and played loud music that we later had to call the manager at 10pm that night to shut them up. We cannot blame the guest house for the guests' behavior. The same ladies walked into the dining hall the next morning in their night clothes. I think there should be a "dress code" exposed somewhere so that guests know how to dress for breakfast. The breakfast was heavenly. just had to wait a very long time. We were in the dining hall at 08:30 and didn't walk out until 09:50 had to wait a very long time because they were busy training staff. Otherwise it's a beautiful place.
There was nothing wrong with the place and it is exceptionally beautiful. Unfortunately we waited a very long time for a cold breakfast. The cutlery was also not properly covered and the staff who served us did not bring what we ordered.
Would recommend anyone to go and stay there.
The accommodation is very neat with a good location. Very safe and good customer service.
See stars.
Accommodation is good and very tidy. Delicious breakfast.
You may not buy and use your own alcohol on the premises and there is a fine to be paid if you do. The bar fridge in the room was not refilled and there were only 2 x beers available which I normally drink. I thought it good to support the guest house and just had to drink what was available. Didn't enjoy it at all. You only get coffee and milk for one use and are not refilled either. Had to take care of coffee, milk and sugar for coffee.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay here. Had a beautiful large unit. The breakfast was very nice. All the information they sent with the booking was very valuable. Would love to stay there again, but would like to book the "penthouse" which unfortunately was already booked and not much more expensive than our unit.
Nice place with a nice view of the dam.
Overall the guest house is good but the maintenance was not up to standard. There were several amenities and other equipment that were not right: DStv kept getting stuck, light switch in room was loose, paint on several corners was damaged. Not value for money.
Water was coming out from the bar fridge in the room and the floor was wet and the very same receptionist had to use towels to block the water from spreading in the room. The curtains in that room were also dirty including the bathrobes you can see that they have never been washed from the last use. The owner did not even greet us when we met her outside. She needs to clean that place in order to attract guests.
Was very nice. Will want to visit them again.
I had booked room 4, but on my arrival I requested to upgrade and move to the penthouse as it was available and the lady assisted me. The staff members were extremely friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the view the room offers. It was a beautiful experience. I will most definitely be coming back.
It was the most romantic guesthouse and atmosphere we have ever experienced together. We enjoyed booking in and staying somewhere for a weekend, but the getaway was wonderful. We will make a reservation again any day at this lovely place.
It was made very clear that guests were not allowed to take any refreshments. It is only provided for guests who drink alcohol and not at all for those who do not drink alcohol. There are several 0% alcohol refreshments available.
A place to find rest after a busy week of noise and commotion. The beautiful view over the Hartbeespoort Dam creates an incredible atmosphere that makes one realize that life is more beautiful than what daily society suggests.
The best place to switch off and be quiet, especially with your spouse. The Penthouse is the best if you want to book a romantic weekend to spoil your loved one. We will stay at Chateau la Mer Exclusive Guesthouse again anytime, because the service is incredibly good, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. It's always neat and clean, not to mention the incredible garden they have. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so special.
Really a very nice place. One of the best places we have ever slept in, will definitely stay there again. Friendly reception and very nice breakfast with beautiful views.
It was an amazing experience and we received the best service. The ladies made us feel so at home. The view is picture perfect and the food was very very tasty. The ideal place for a romantic getaway!
A beautiful guest house, Connie was absolutely amazing, everything was organized and ready as per request during the booking.
A beautiful place near the city where you can relax. View is beautiful and we would really recommend the place. Friendly service and breakfast was delicious.
Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike wegbreeknaweek. Alles is netjies en puik. Ontbyt was heerlik en kliëntediens puik. Kan nie wag om die tweede fase klaar te sien nie. Julle gaan ons beslis weer sien.
Great place, would definitely go again. Would recommend to anyone anytime.
Thanks for the friendly staff. Very well welcomed and the rooms are clean and tidy, one feels at home in summer. The kitchen so beautiful and clean and the meals very stylish and tasty. Would stay there again.
Chateau la Mer will definitely see us again and will recommend the guesthouse to anyone that needs accommodation in Harties.
We were kindly received. A lot of effort has been done for us in many ways. Very pleasant stay, will definitely visit again.
Beautiful views, comfortable rooms, but I would've expected a hairdryer in a 4-star guesthouse. Delicious breakfast. The carpets are dirty and unsightly.
The view is spectacular, accommodation first class. We had a superb stay.
Feel free to see the stars.
Excellent view over Harties. It's the perfect getaway for a couple. We stayed in the penthouse for our wedding anniversary and it was unforgettable. Beautiful view of the pond, very romantic room and bathroom and the dinner prepared by Connie was excellent. Definitely worth the money!
We had a really nice stay. The room's decor is beautiful and neat. The service is very good, would definitely recommend!
Lovely, peaceful experience. The view was amazing and I can recommend it if you need a break.
I was a bit disappointed with what you get for the price - expected slightly more! The construction work on the site affects the view. The shower door in my room was also broken.
The staff were pleasant and the place is beautiful.
Neat, clean, friendly and big! Would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Stunning place great service - will definitely be back. Very beautiful setting.
Unfortunately, I won't go back again - the building has been standing since 2010 and you don't want to pay that much and stare into a building site. I wanted to cry so hard the bed was and since it was our romantic weekend away I'm really disappointed. However, the service, food and decor were excellent.
See the stars below.
Beautiful experience! Our one night was too short! Beautiful view and delicious food!
It was a great experience with a nice view. Would definitely recommend anyone to come and sleep here.
Fantastic place!
