Overall Ratings & Reviews Houw Hoek Hotel

The hotel suffers an identity crisis. It positions itself as holiday resort but is actually mode a conference/events centre. Very noisy and not so classy neighbours disturbed our afternoon rest as well as late night sleep. I pity anyone who thought they could relax there in the evening because there were two noisy disco booming functions till midnight. The old world charm is no longer for this destination.

We had a good stay at the hotel and the food was really tasty. The view of the mountain from our balcony was amazing. The only criticism I have, was that the hot water ran out after one shower on our second day there

Nominally clean and tidy. In need of a refurbishment. Staff friendly and helpful but service on the slow side

It was good except food not up to standard

The cleanliness of the Hotel was great - the staff are super helpful. great place I will definitely visit again.

Hotel itself is lovely. But room 64 which I was given was far from the main hotel - above the service quarters and the garage where motorbikes were stored (and used from 6.30am) this meant that it was quite noisy. Breakfast was nice. WiFi was strong even during load shedding. It would have been lovely to have a map or layout of the premises in the room as I had no idea of all the facilities available.

We looked so forward staying at Houw Hoek Hotel, but my goodness it turned so cold in Elgin and unfortunately I did not pack for that freezing weather. The end result we came back home with the flu. EISH!!! Having breakfast I discovered that the dining room is long overdue for an upgrade. The area where the cook serves eggs is very dirty. Such a pity because it is a lovely place to visit

Its am awesome place with excellent client service. Rooms are spacious, clean and their food is divine. The area offer tranquility and great connection with nature

Our stay at the hotel was good. There are certain aspects that can be improved upon, namely; the pools need better upkeep, better play rooms for the children and more board games, the rooms could do with a microwave. The food at the restaurant was good even though we waited a lengthy period for it. The buffet breakfast is good, but it's the same thing everyday which starts to get boring. The area itself is somewhat boring so the hotel should make an effort to entertain the children.

My wife and I took a break-away before the Christmas rush started. From the time of our arrival until we checked out, we were very impressed with the facilities, service and all that Houw Hoek Hotel has to offer.

Great venue. Service and food good, amazing value for money

We had the best time Thanks so much, and a great Pool Table :)

We attended a wedding and stayed over for 2 nights. The staff was extremely helpfull. Rooms is spacious and clean. Overall I would definitly stay there again

Location, service and attention to kids making it so easy to take your family there

We had a nice stay for one night. The hotel just need to specify that the restaurant closes at 19:30 on a saturday night.

Had a lovely day....even extended it by 2days. However I would recommend settling your tab daily as we experienced difficulties.

Always a fantastic stay

The hotel is fairly basically appointed but is in a nice position just below the N2 highway. The valley is beautiful and the walk/MTB route behind is really lovely. Staff are friendly and the food is good as is the coffee. I enjoyed my stay in an excellent 3 star establishment. I recommend it.

Stayed here for three nights over easter. Lovely location, lots of facilities, but could be in better condition (the childrens play room in particular seemed to have been abandoned). Nice walks nearby, good service, but clearly organised around large weekend wedding parties and not really organised for individuals staying during the week. Also, breakfast very expensive (possibly because they provide a massive buffet when there are few guests), netter to go across the road to the farm stop.

We always have an awesome time with my family time, staff is always so kind, professional and doing great service.
