92 guests' feedbackGot the most delicious breakfast every morning. Everyone was very friendly.
Great stay with a lovely breakfast to end off with!
My mother and I really enjoyed the guest house. We relaxed and looked out over the pond and also visited the spa. The rooms and garden are very nice and tidy. Friendly service and people. Got a nice big breakfast next morning. Several restaurants in area.
Value for money. Neat and friendly people and very hospitable. Breakfast was delicious! Will sleep over again.
Had a very beautiful old place with a fabulous view. Pieter and his son made us the most delicious breakfast every morning. Pieter was helpful with advice on good places to eat and visit, which made it easier for us to enjoy the break. My husband and I also made use of the spa facilities and it was absolutely heavenly! This is truly a cute little place close to everything and I would definitely recommend it for a weekend getaway.
We had a lovely stay, the place was breathtaking . The staff was very friendly, and the owner was friendly as well. The breakfast was delicious, and the views were amazing. Definitely going back.
It was honestly a very nice, peaceful and relaxing stay at El Shadai. Staff are friendly and the owner sure knows what he's doing.
It was an unforgettable experience from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.
Hosts were super friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious and the rooms were spacious and very clean.
Our suite was amazing. We enjoyed the splash pool so much that we didn't even leave the guest house on our first day! Pieter and Susan were amazing hosts and extremely considerate regarding our dietary requirements. Breakfast was good. The views are amazing and worth all the stairs!
See stars.
Comfortable, clean, spacious. Nice breakfast.
It is a wonderful place to spend time, the view, the location and the jacuzzi. Nice breakfast as well. My wife loves it and we will definitely go back.
We had a great stay with a delicious breakfast.
The roads leading to the accommodation need to be looked at - potholes and incomplete repairs.
Ideal place for a date night.
Good place, convenient. Excellent hosts, made our staff comfortable and homely.
Nice quiet environment and very private.
Very nice breakfast! Neat accommodation.
Parking can become a problem for larger vehicles. Very neat and clean. Breakfast is excellent every morning.
Warm, friendly welcome. Beautiful, peaceful, clean guest house with the most beautiful view of the dam. Spacious, neat rooms with all the necessary facilities. Most delicious breakfast. Was a great experience and will definitely go back again.
We had a very nice stay, very welcoming, good breakfast and beautiful view over the dam. Can highly recommend.
My husband and I could come and go as we pleased and felt pampered. Would definitely recommend and visit again. We will definitely go again. The breakfast was also delicious. We also took a spa package and it was done on site which was very convenient.
It was just such an amazing experience. Very clean and beautiful. The friendly reception was just awesome.
Really great and want to come back.
Treated like "royalty". Service was great. Amenities excellent. Top notch breakfast.
Wifi password only worked for an hour though but all in all we were happy.
Nice stay and breakfast was delicious!
Friendly people. Zoo just below the guest house, so you hear the lions in the evenings which makes it beautiful. Top notch breakfast.
Will definitely recommend a weekend stay.
See stars.
Excellent breakfast, comfortable bed, very good heating, nice jacuzzi. Pieter and Susan make a lot of effort to make the visit absolutely pleasant.
It's a great place for a romantic getaway, the food is great too. Will definitely stay there again.
El Shadai Guesthouse was an absolute delight. The owners are very pleasant, the service is excellent and the view over the dam is breathtaking. The facilities are good, and the breakfast is very tasty. You have everything you need at the place. Safety is also good.
Breakfast is big and very tasty.
The only negative comments are that the water pressure was very weak and the shower took a very long time to warm up.
Good views and much more to do.
Cilla, the local manager, was lovely, helpful and friendly. Price is reasonable but the resort/room is not 5 star. Beautiful view from verandah. Delish breakfast.
Had to turn shower head off to be able to shower at Room Number 1. Just feel a plan could have been made after we reported it.
Had the most beautiful view on the dam. Neat, safe place. Nice breakfast. Very good service. Friendly and helpful owners. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Top class weekend. Rooms are beautiful. View breathtaking.
Excellent! Wonderful breakfast! Friendly and helpful staff! Definitely a place to visit!
El Shadai was one incredible place. The view, people, service. Was something out of a book. Definitely recommend it.
I loved it. I will visit again.
The hosts were very nice, they were friendly. Saturday was my birthday and I enjoyed my stay!
The place has a beautiful view from the Penthouse we stayed in, but there was no Wi-Fi service in our room, as per the website. We are business people who make and receive communication and had to use our own data for that. We received some spa treatments and the room where the treatments were did not have toilet paper, soap or a towel and we had to send someone to get these items from housekeeping. The parking at the establishment was also a problem. There are 4 suites, and the fourth vehicle had to park behind the rest of the vehicles or outside the gate in a street that does not have street parking. Kathy who prepared the meals were very kind and helpful.
Very nice, clean, friendly, helpful, really worth staying there!
What a spectacular place. The owners and the staff were very amazing, friendly and treated us with respect. What you see is what you get. I can not fault this place: from the rooms, breakfast to the bathrooms, etc. it was out of this world. I will make this place my second home every time I go to Hartbeespoort and will book there and at no other place.
We enjoyed our stay to the fullest, we would not mind to come back.
I had an epic weekend there, will definitely return.
The breakfast was lovely, the rooms were lovely and clean and the people were lovely, friendly, warm and accommodating! Loved the experience!
We will definitely go back again! The accommodation and view is picture perfect and it's very peaceful. The people are friendly and if you need something, they are not afraid to help immediately and make sure everything is right. We really enjoyed it! I recommend it to anyone looking to get away! Exceeded my expectations!
We were kindly welcomed with a welcome man; the view is picturesque and the surroundings are so peaceful that even if you are in town it feels like you are away from everything and everyone; the staff are friendly and the breakfast was heavenly. We would definitely go again, we didn't want to come back.
It was very nice and we were very well spoiled.
Our first impression was really fantastic. Warm welcome and well organized. The stay was really nice and the breakfast was out of the books. Thank you very, very much.
Lovely break and very relaxed. Atmosphere makes you realize how exhausted you are in body and mind. Susan, her husband and staff treated us very well and offered nice African farmer hospitality. Keep it up.
Both the room and view were fabulous. The breakfasts also varied and tasty. The only pity was that we couldn't take full advantage of the stoep and view, as there are no awnings and the sun shines directly onto the bedroom and balcony till sunset.
Lovely, safe guest house with a very nice view over the dam in a cul-de-sac with little through traffic. Close to the main state with dining and sightseeing on the doorstep.
The place was top class. The views stunning. Service tops.
We had a lovely stay here during the weekend we did the "Around the Dam" race. Was a good base (close to everything) - and perfect place to relax before and after our race, exactly what we wanted. The view is beautiful and the breakfast was delicious.
Friendly service, definitely come back.
I was with my spouse and child. Everyone of us was happy, I can't wait to go back soon and I'm busy advertising them to my friends and family. Keep the good work up, you are the best.
The accommodation is really fantastic, awesome view. Place very neat and clean. Will definitely recommend it for a romantic getaway.
What a lovely weekend breakaway. Beautiful place with wonderful atmosphere. The food is just wonderful. Thank you for the hospitality, we really appreciated!
We really enjoyed our time there.
All went well, had nice time. The owners are very warm and welcoming.
Good location, nice stay and would recommend it again, good service, good food and they made it very pleasant for us.
People very friendly, everything very clean, and food was good. But not what I expected from 5-star-accommodation.
I should mention that they should mention that there are a lot of stairs to climb. Service excellent. Definitely worth the money!
I was blown away with the amazing view from the top. The host and hostess was so nice and kind. I will recommend this place any day!
I can't wait to go back again, everything was outstanding.
Very friendly staff. Amazing place to stay overnight. Very neat.
What a refreshing place with a warm welcome and good customer service.
Neat and clean with professional service and in a very beautiful area. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere.
Our stay in suite 4 was everything we hoped for and so much more. Thanks for all the extras, friendliness, privacy and delicious breakfast.
The guest house was beautifully clean. They put in a lot of effort. The accommodation is five star.
The owners are very friendly and they make you feel at ease. The view is beautiful!
Stunning view over the dam, fantastic breakfast, even if load shedding was a challenge for them.
We had a great time and relaxed wonderfully. The breakfast was excellent. Thank you.
Beautiful views of the dam and mountains.
Their service is out of this world and the breakfast was the best. Susan is such a darling.
The room has a very good view of the pond. The breakfast was top notch. The service we received was also very good.
See the stars below.
A perfect place to just relax and have peace of mind. It's so quiet, I loved it! Awesome view of the dam, and the reception was overwhelmingly warm, thanks to the very friendly and helpful staff. Definitely going back soon.
See the stars below.
The service was excellent and the view is breathtaking.
