My stay at Hawksmoor House was a mixed bag. I loved the warm welcome from the staff and the beautiful surroundings, but I encountered some significant issues during my visit. The location is charming and definitely offers a rustic feel, yet it could use some maintenance. While the dinner was enjoyable, the overall dining experience had its drawbacks.

The grounds have a lovely natural feel, but I found the pool area lacking in cleanliness. and load shedding affected my experience with water availability.

My stay at Hawksmoor House was a mix of beautiful moments and some disappointments. The accommodations were stunning and clean, and I found the breakfast to be good, especially the mini croissants. However, the dinner selection left much to be desired, feeling more mundane than gourmet. Additionally, I noticed some small details that needed attention, from maintenance issues to the state of the grounds.

The location is picturesque and offers a rustic charm, but it's a bit remote and the grounds need sprucing up to match the beautiful setting. I appreciated the serene atmosphere.

Breakfast was the highlight of my dining experience, with kind service and good food, but the dinner menu was quite disappointing. It lacked variety and finesse, feeling more like everyday fare.

The facilities had potential, but the pool was unusable due to cleanliness issues and the gardens needed maintenance. The hotel had a lovely charm but appeared to be let go in several areas.

The hotel is set in a stunning environment, but it's a bit further from the main vineyards than I expected, giving it a slightly isolated feel.
Dining

The dinner selection had no choices, and what was served felt quite basic and unexciting—definitely not what I would call gourmet. Breakfast, however, was a highlight.

Facilities like the pool could use some cleaning, as it was filled with murky water. Also, the welcome didn’t feel as warm as expected.
