The place is lush with nature. A nice breakaway just a short drive from a city life. As this was a business trip, everything was timed and based on a set agenda. So the one thing I didn't like was the long walk from the conference room to the breakfast and lunch areas. Another thing is that there were lot of flies everywhere especially when they was food around. The rooms were a nice size and clean however, I would suggest that they provide an iron for each room because as we were a big group people had to wait for irons which made them late for the meeting.

The Blades is one of our favourite work retreat venues. excellent catering and also lovely rooms. The best was the spa experience! the boma night braai is also a big YES for the social event during a work retreat. Very convenient for people not wanting to travel far but would like a lovely bushveld experience.

We booked with *********** a week prior to arrival. The room was not allocated by the hotel, receptionists asking us questions making as if we hadn’t booked. Walking into the room we smelt the humidity and damp which put us off totally . We were told the lodge was fully booked so no rooms available to move us to. They sprayed the room which did not take the smell away. Rooms looked a lot better on the website, the price did not match the room. On a positive note, the restaurant staff were super friendly and the food was outstanding. Lovely sunset views from the deck . Pool was lovely however the sun lounges had no cushions .

Absolutely not what is advertised. Waiters service excellent. Food not bad. We were refunded. Conditions of room is dirty and their were holes in bedding. Old candle with burnt matches lying in the room. The buildings are tired. You may not use the lawn by the river unless a picnic is booked. Bedding not premium. It has so much potential but if not seriously upgraded like broken chairs and hotel carpet in reception filthy it wont be open foe long.
