Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was raining cats and dogs and walking into reception with the fire burning was quite enjoyable. Reception was a pleasure and seemless. Rooms clean and well appointed. Even with load-shedding the essentials were working and the Grill Room gave excellent meals including breakfast. The only "question" I have is why breakfast only starts at 8. Does result in coming late at the office.

Floating in Paarl

Our stay was excellent as always but the reason why I have two points marked with a shortfall is that due to the rain our room (27) had a leak in the corner which soiled the carpet. I know it rained heavily but its still a problem I decided to report because it can cause mildew to form and the carpet destroyed.

Disappointing stay and lack of management

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while I wasn’t expecting luxury, I did at least expect the basics to be as advertised. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. First off, the service was bearable—the waiters and staff did their best, but it was clear that there was no real management overseeing anything. It felt like everything was just left up to them, and they were doing the best they could with little direction. The two restaurants was another letdown. A huge portion of the menu was unavailable, so we were left with very limited choices. If you’re advertising a diverse menu, you should at least be able to serve most of it. Overall, this place feels completely unorganized and mismanaged. The staff are trying, but without leadership, the whole experience falls flat. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re fine with a place running on autopilot.

There is no attention to detail and standards are not kept across the board. This could be an amazing place, but until someone cracks the whip this lovely place will be a bit disappointing. The main redeeming feature is location, it is stunning there.

European elegance captured in Africa!

I have traveled extensively in South Africa & i would have to stay Val Du Charron was in the top 5! From the ambiance, to the views, to the fine cuisine & service, i was thoroughly impressed.. I enjoyed my room with a view & the lovely tea & coffees that were so elegantly placed in my room. All the comforts & European elegance captured in Africa! I would definitely go back...

Val Du Charron zählte lange zu meinen Lieblingsplätzen in Südafrika. Dies ist leider jetzt vorbei. Als Stammgast im Restaurant wollte ich jetzt auch mal das Hotel austesten. Das ca. 27qm große gebuchte Luxuszimmer war ca. 16qm groß. Es war gegen 07:30 mit der Nachtruhe vorbei, da es eine Osterveranstaltung mit vielen Menschen gab. Das Essen im Restaurant enttäuschend.... das Steak ok, Gemüse und Kartoffelbrei fast kalt. Das kontinentale Frühstück bestand aus einem Schälchen Bircher Müsli. Der 1. Kaffee sehr gut..... der 2. sollte bezahlt werden. Es war eine Enttäuschung

Overall we where very happy with the friendliness of the staff and how beautiful the Estate was. Just want to give some advice to the estate, the room that we stayed in, all the doors and extractor fan in the bathroom were very squeaky and noisy and needed some oil.

Fint sted på gjennomreise.

Flott sted! Litt rar mottakelse. Flott utsikt fra rom. Støyende avfukter på badet som var knyttet til lysbryter, slik at om man måtte på so på natta, vekket man den andre. Umulig å åpne propp i vasken. Bra biffrestaurant på stedet. Noe treg service ved utsjekk.

Val de Charron

Found the Superior Double rooms uninspiring. Old carpets on en-suite shower floor. Diluted Shampoo in showers. Aircon didnt work. Upgraded to 5 star room, as no other rooms available and paid for it. Then had no internet, no working phone so still had to walk up to order breakfast at main bar. Service was slow and prices are steep and hygiene is questionable. The venue and the surrounds are very tidy and the area is very beautiful. Its a pity that the continental breakfast was the same every day, no variety, but was good. The stay was not enjoyable and we will not stay at the guesthouse again.

They couldn't find the booking from Hotels.com at first and once it was clarified, we got a room with no view or shall I rather say a view to the staff quarters. It wasn't what I envisioned from your website.

Excellent stay in Wellington

Fantastic experience on all fronts.Great hotel with fantastic views of the vineyards and the mountain Great service and hospitality. The Grillroom menu was excellent and the food did not disappoint. Vegetarians will however have to order from the the Pizza E Vino (the other restaurant at the hotel).An extra smile as we were upgraded to a suite.
