Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs K from Crewe

"Excellent hotel,well sited for the waterfront,no security issues at all day or evening.Piazza rooms also have partial water view.

Hire car not required for Cape Town as hop on/hop off bus very good for most visits and taxis also cheap. Four nights wasn't long enough as loads to do .A great city."

"Franschhoek is a lovely place with lots to see and do in a sensational mountain setting. The host at Avondrood could not have been more helpful with suggestions and booking of restaurants.Relaxed atmosphere.Easy walking distance into town.

This place needs to be added to Expert Africa's list of accommodations."

"Only worth a 2 night stay as once you've done the river walk and seen the beach (beautiful) there is not much else to do and you are 1 hour down a dirt road. Seeing Whales from the beach was a highlight.

The restaurant burnt down a few months ago and both myself and my wife got gastroenteritis form their efforts - I would not return until this is sorted out.

Our accommodation was very basic - the worst of our visit - there were higher standard units available and these should be offered instead - Village rooms were also a mile from the restaurant and you were clpse to the staff quarters."

"Fantastic luxury hotel in sensational location overlooking two beaches. Pricey but worth it. Food in the restaurant very good value.

The best location view wise that I have ever stayed in. Recommend the skydiving !"

"Fantastic location right by the crashing waves though accommodation a little on the basic side though better than De Hoop. Lots of walk to do. Again our house was the furthest from the restaurant-not really walking distance - and some of the others appeared more luxurious though may not have been free."

"Colonial setting - very convenient for the park. Good quality large room .Staff appeared a little 'at sea' with customer service but were trying hard - it felt like they needed a manager.

Limited menu but tasty enough.

Recommend Crisscross tours for the safari visit."
