Beautiful place, old-world charm, all your needs attended to and more. Classy décor and nice selection of bathroom amenities. Excellent mini-bar selection – ginger and lemon a great touch. Food - a little pricey with an unimaginative and expensive wine list, but very tasty. Great place for a romantic get-a-way. Really nice spa with soothing therapies. Fantastic walk – must... More

The staff are well trained and go out of their way to assist with a friendly smile and hospitable attitude! We were fortunate enough to be upgraded... More

We stayed for 5 nights in the paddock suite, great peaceful suite to relax. The food was superb, the Chef took time to talk with us re the menu which was much appreciated. I don't eat meat or fish so to have a full menu available was wonderful! The Panorama tour was very enjoyable, great to explore the wonderful scenery... More

My wife & I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary at Cybele. What an amazing experience! We had an amazing time of our lives, romance galore...thanks to all the Cybele staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the spa treatment, the food, the forest walk & the waterfall picnic, etc. The Cybele staff is well trained and they treat their guests like royalty. No... More

My partner and I took a trip around SA this January and got caught up in the floods at Kruger. This essentially meant spending a night trapped in our car between two washed away bridges and waiting two days to be able to get back out of the park. We had booked a hiking trail in Kruger (which was cancelled)... More

So. Admittedly, we stayed at Cybele nearly two years ago, but I was relaying the story of our visit yesterday to a friend, and thought I should let Tripadvisor know. I'm going to start by saying it is a beautiful place to stay. The service is wonderful, the rooms are beautiful, the food was excellent. Our car broke down at... More

Service and attention to detail superb! We spent a romantic weekend at Cybele and I was impressed with the stunning accommodation and service of the staff. At all times were they friendly and helpful. The restaurant offered superb dishes and the wine list was excellent. We will definitely be back.
