Terre Blanche Golf Course

Unfriendly male reception staff member. Otherwise other staff very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful three night stay in May. We had a seaview room on the fourth floor (it was accessible so larger than average). It was excellent and well worth the extra money for such a beautiful view. I had read the reviews and knew what to expect about the hotel. I was pleasantly surprised. It's listed as 3 stars on the booking sites, but I think the hotel class is actually 4 stars. It doesn't have many amenities which I think is why it comes out as 3 but I've stayed in 4 star hotels which aren't as nice. Breakfast is as I would have expected. Nice enough and a reasonable selection. You cook your own eggs which I liked, as I'm quite fussy about how I have them. I found that on the Thursday and Friday the room was quiet, but on the Saturday night, there were two weddings in the hotel and you could hear the music until gone 1 am. However, I was well prepared with earplugs, and I never needed them because the noise wasn't enough to disturb me. I loved the 12pm check out and tolerated the 4pm check-in. I think the hotel would accommodate an early check-in if you weren't waiting for a very specific room so I do understand why we had to wait. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Food and drinks are expensive. Three alcoholic drinks and one mocktail came to €42 which isn't unusual for the area but you can definitely eat and drink for cheaper. We didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment on the food beyond breakfast. We had a lovely stay and I was sad to leave.

This is better described as a motel, rather then a hotel. It has a breakfast room but that's it as far as communal areas is concerned. The rooms are clean and well decorated but the corridor areas are shabby and in need of decoration. The corridors are open-plan style with no glass windows so open to the wind and rain. Staff are helpful and courteous and parking is a plus point. Overall a good option if you're on a budget but don't expect any frills.
