“An exhorbitantly priced hotel! 2 star rooms trying to pass off as 5 star rooms!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The main reception area is cute, the gardens are lovely and the food is good.
The rooms are AWFUL!! They have taken the former magaliesburg hotel rooms that would pass as a 2 star room and have placed a few Charlotte Rhys products, a rose, cheap furniture and are charging the rooms at R3700! I have never been more shocked. The finishes are cheap. The bathrooms were covered in the cheapest tile available. The showers are plastic and cheap. The taps are awful. The bathroom walls are painted with a putred puke colour. The TV is an old medium sized tv. Curtains are awful and cheap. I would rather spend the night in a Formula 1! We had one of the bigger rooms and what a shocker. I went into 2 other rooms and cannot believe how they are ripping people off. They have a good chef but the service is slow. You are lucky to find someone to serve you. The "reception" is vacated most of the day. I had to go into the kitchen twice to order drinks. What a rip off!!!

“Special treat - worth every penny!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2010

My husband and i spent one night at De Hoek and it felt as relaxing as a long weekend!
Everything was taken care of, we never had a moment of frustration... only relaxation!!

the staff we friendly and professional, the food was lovely, the area is very picturesque..

I would highly recommended a Thai Yoga massage... my husband and I both booked a 1/2 hour head, neck and back massage and it really helped to shed the stresses of the week!

“Outstanding relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2010

We stayed a two night weekend, it was amazing. Henry the assistant manager went out of his way to look after us. The five course diner was a real treat. Expensive but really made with love and worth it.
We felt completely relaxed after being there in the first hour after our arrival..something we needed for a good relax and this was perfect.

“Exquisite in every way”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2010

This really is a beautiful place to stay - the buildings, rooms, food, service and location are of very high standard. We arrived in the early afternoon, and though lunch is not normally served, the kitchen staff provided us with a light, tasty meal - served at a table set up for us under the trees by the pool. The candlelight dinner was one of the best we had in South Africa, and when we returned to our room we found that a hot bubble bath, strewn with rose petals, awaited us. Breakfast next morning was on the terrace, overlooking the perfectly manicured gardens. We were the only guests, and were made to feel truly like the lord and lady of the manor.

“A luxurious oasis”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2010

De Hoek deserves the highest possible accolades. It is luxurious, cosy and well-appointed in every way. The hotel is hidden away in a most beautiful and peaceful setting. The staff were courteous and helpful whilst remaining discreet. The food at De Hoek is an experience. The menu is well thought out and the food exquisitely prepared. We found De Hoek by chance and it afforded us an opportunity to unwind and relax whilst enjoying service of the highest order. We'll be back!
