Dit was baie lekker, het elke dag rondgery en iets gaan doen.

Ek sal voorstel dat die oord hul terrein soos tennisbane, gholfbaan, minigholf bietjie opknap en skoonmaak. Daar was party aande wat ons verplig was om buffet te eet en nie van spyskaart nie, vir R250 per persoon was dit glad nie waarde vir geld nie. Die kamers is baie oud en kort bietjie opknapwerk, beddens is baie oud en ongemaklik. Prys vir verblyf was definitief nie waarde vir geld nie. Personeel is baie gaaf en behulpsaam.

It was very nice, driving around and doing something every day.

I would suggest that the resort renovate and clean up their grounds like tennis courts, golf course, mini golf a bit. There were some nights we were obliged to eat buffet and not from the menu, for R250 per person it was not value for money at all. The rooms are very old and need some renovation, beds are very old and uncomfortable. Price for accommodation was definitely not value for money. Staff is very nice and helpful.

Rustig en gemaklik.

Het Gooderson as 'n halfpad stop gebruik op pad Durban toe vir 'n gesinsvakansie en dit was 'n wonderlike afskop - die rustigheid was genesing vir 'n moeë siel!

Gesinswegbreek.

Die plek is baie oulik. Maar als voel redelik oud en nie so goed instandgehou nie. Vir die bedrag per nag verwag mens redelik baie, ek was teleurgesteld.

The place is very cute. But als feels quite old and not so well maintained. For the amount per night you expect quite a lot, I was disappointed.

Vriendelikste personeel wat jou op die hande dra, mooiste ligging en heerlikste kos.

Die oord het gehoor ons vier ons 40ste troudag herdenkking en het uit hul pad gegaan om ons te bederf, dit was roosblare op ons tafel n heerlike bottel rooi wyn en gelukwense in oorvloed. ons het elkedag die heerlikste kos in die restaurant geeet wat smaakvol voorberei is, die oord is seker in een van die mooiste dele van ons land gelee en dit was vir ons baie spesiaal om ons mylpaal daar te kon vier. Ons het goeie en mooi herinneringe by Monks Cowl gemaak wat ons altyd sal koester.

Friendliest staff who carry you on their hands, most beautiful location and most delicious food.

The resort heard we were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and went out of their way to spoil us, it was rose petals on our table a delicious bottle of red wine and congratulations galore. every day we ate the most delicious food in the restaurant which was tastefully prepared, the resort is probably located in one of the most beautiful parts of our country and it was very special for us to be able to celebrate our milestone there. We made good and beautiful memories at Monks Cowl that we will always cherish.

Quiet, relaxing getaway with beautiful self-catering units, well equipped and furnished.

Our stay was relaxing and the trips to the nearby tourist attractions gave us precious memories as a family. The self-catering unit where we lived was spacious and offered us a home away from home. Possible suggestions for improving the experience - perhaps a covered built-in braai would be more practical in rainy conditions and a little more attention and thorough cleaning by the kitchen staff would have made our stay easier.

Accommodation is in a beautiful setting in the Champagne Valley, although optimal views of the mountains so not appear to be available from most rooms. Rooms modern, very clean and well-appointed. Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner and breakfast have good variety and are excellent.
