Good venue to host Conferences and workshops. The service from staff and management was very good. Excellent food and clean comfortable rooms. Some attention to the TV situation is needed urgently. Looking forward to returning for a more personal and relaxed visit.

The best room I've ever had. The service was a 10/10, staff was amazing. The menu can be improved with a wider selection of meals and snacks, I was disappointed at the limited amount of snacks. My only disappointment was that the bathroom did not have bathroom mats close to the shower and the bathtub, I hate to step on the floor straight from bathing.

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 .
