There is no cut-off time for in-house GUESTS and they may request breakfast by the pool, on The Rose Terrace, or in their suite should they so desire. However, the buffet is removed at 10h30 am. The lunch and dinner menus are a la carte.

Our candlelit dinners can be served in either the Private Dining-Room, in the restaurant or on the terrace. In the summer, GUESTS may request a table be set on the lawns under the stars, or near the lit fountains, a service which we are happy to provide.

A light lunch menu and room service menu are also available. In the evenings, relax with an aperitif on the tranquil terrace or sip cognac in front of the winter fire in the Colonial Bar, with its hand-carved elephant heads.

In winter, GUESTS congregate around the welcoming fireplace for some good old-fashioned gemutlichkeit.

The bar is a fully stocked, award-winning bar. To date, 2 merit, 3 platinum and 1 diamond award (one of only 5 National recipients) have been awarded by Diners Club "Wine list of the year" award.

The Rose Terrace is open to non-residents for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

Our focus is to provide personal, flexible service in a refined and exclusive establishment.

The Fairlawns is the perfect venue choice for more intimate, sophisticated functions. There is a banquet menu selector to enable GUESTS to design their own menu. There is a limited selection of wines available on the Banquet Wine List, as only readily available wines are on offer to avoid disappointment.

A function may be defined as anything from 10 to 100 GUESTS and may range from private breakfasts, lunches, dinners and cocktail parties, to corporate functions that include presentations, launches or black-tie affairs. Our STAFF will gladly supply you with all the possible permutations and advise ways to make your function a memorable one.

For smaller, intimate functions the Private Dining Room and the La Scala Room are ideally suited. For numbers over 30, the de Beers room is available, which can seat up to 100, banquet style.

The Fairlawns is the ideal venue for the more mature, smaller wedding. There are restrictions concerning cut-off times and music volume, so if the bridal couple have a big blast in mind, we encourage them to choose a more party-orientated venue. Ceremonies can be held in the gardens, but the actual reception is held in the de Beers function room, in view of the increasingly unstable weather conditions.

There are a selection of banquet menus from which the bride can choose, as well a selection of presentation styles, ie. Cocktail, sit-down, buffet, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Choices are made in consultation with our F & B department in order to ensure that the best option is selected for the day. As no two weddings are the same, we invite people to come on a site visit, preferably by appointment, in order to discuss your particular needs.

In view of the small and intimate nature of the hotel, it is ideal for weddings that have to cater for overseas visitors, who can enjoy the excitement and ambience of the day in a congenial, exclusive environment. Either the entire hotel, or the Courtyard section, or the Premier Wing section can be block-booked. For special discounts relating to block-booking please contact our reservations staff. Please note, however, that total exclusivity cannot be ensured unless the entire hotel is booked.

The Hotel also has a gold Rolls Royce Silver Shadow which is available for transferring the bride and her father. What bride doesn't want to feel queen for a day and what better way than arriving in style?

Should the bridal couple decide to spend their first honeymoon night at the hotel, we have a selection of magnificent honeymoon suites. The Presidential Suite has also recently been made available for honeymooners at a very special rate, in order to fully utilize the wonderfully romantic main bedroom and bathroom with its 1.8m diameter Jacuzzi bath and steam shower. The standard extras for honeymoon packages are sparkling wine, fruit, flowers, candles and a petal turn-down, but by arrangement special requests can be organized.
