What do our users think07.11.2008 by David Henchfield from South Africa - 5/5- I was supprised to find an English styled manor in South Africa, my wife and myself found the rooms absolutely amaizing.The food was a gastronomic treat and the staff so friendly, we recomend the Manor as an ideal place to get some rest romance and recreation. 18.11.2007 by dawn spiesser from melbourne australia - for att Carmen, i flew out to attend the Munro wedding and the gathering of the clan. Craig Munro my nephew as u know was responsible for a lot of the financial contribution. I felt all went splendidly considering it was the first wedding held there under new management or since the refurbishment. My only complaint which was not taken further was that the Royal breakfast started too late and that my brother Colin who is Head of the Clan did not have a seat and subsequently went without breakfast despite my attempts to even go to the kitchen and get him a tray. He was not amused. So perhaps in the future the bridal party and parents and immediate family should get preference and a table reserved for them to that effect. Please take this comment positivley to avoid disappointment in the future. Kind regards dawn spiesser formerly Munro.
