The scenery and hospitality was amazing, the guys at the restaurant were extremely accommodating! Food and cocktails were delicious, overall a very pleasant experience. It rained quite a bit during our stay sadly so we didn't get to explore that...

It feels like you are in the middle of the bush, it is so hard to believe we were just minutes from the city center. The Blades has all the luxury needed for a 5Star weekend break, we loved it !
