The meals were sufficient especially breakfast , lunches we did have at the Bistro and it was very good, Dinners were acceptable although a bit under my expectations. Room was comfy , well equipped and secure also very clean. Also as hotel guests we were allowed to use the SPA area with the hot mineral pool and jacuzzi.. This was the highlight of our stay and really the only attraction which would warrant a return stay. Children were catered for 200% with lots of water entertainment. we also found the staff to be very accommodating and friendly.

The staff were so accommodating and friendly. There is an endless list of activities to do. The food is absolutely fantastic. The hiking trails had breathtakingly beautiful views and were clearly marked. We will definitely be back, we enjoyed every second. What's also appreciated is how serene the place is, they have no tolerance for noise. We had one or two cold rainy days, so they lit the fireplace for us in the peacock lounge where we could play board games and watch movies, with the most incredible views of the mist over the mountains, it was heavenly.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Gooderson! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place offers a refreshing and energizing experience. The facilities were spotless, and there was so much to do, from hiking and swimming in the hippo pools to enjoying a game of putt-putt, just to name a few. There truly is something for everyone to do, making it a perfect destination for all types of guests. Each day offered its own exciting activity to enjoy and make lasting memories. The great views all around added to the beauty and serenity of the location, making it even more enjoyable. The staff truly made the experience special they were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything needed. As for the food, it was nothing short of spectacular each meal was a delightful treat! I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and thoroughly satisfied. Highly recommend!

The views of the mountain are great, it’s a pity the sky cleared on our last day but we enjoyed nonetheless. The dinner was so yummy, compliments to the chefs and we loved the family friendly facilities with plenty to do on the property. The jacuzzi was my favourite. I highly recommend this accommodation id definitely come back. I was disappointed when we checked in that I wasn’t told that there’s no water provided in the rooms, you have to buy your own water. Only when I got to the room ready to make tea I saw there’s no water and I was told it’s written in the 10 page information pack. When exactly am I supposed to read 10 pages so I can see that no water is provided. Why not let us know when we check in at least since this is a general expectation that a hotel provides water. Some of the staff members are not that friendly. Nothing too bad but they weren’t that friendly. The spa was good but they don’t warm their hands before starting the treatment and it makes the massage not that relaxing from the cold hands touching you. I’ve experienced other spas where they warm their hands first hence I was hoping for the same especially in the cold Drakensberg weather.

The room was great, being a June getaway it was cold and there was a heater in the room the only thing it lacked was an electric blanket. The buffet breakfast & Dinner were amazing, we did utilize one other restaurant which was very nice as well, a little fancier but very cozy with lovely fireplaces at all points, reception, restaurants etc. All in all it was a lovely getaway with three onsite walks, long walks and short ones . There were many activities available , unfortunately being winter Golf wasnt an option as the Greens were very dry, but we made good use of the bar facilities and the gorgeous dam and scenery with lovely sitting areas to chill and enjoy the mountains around you.
