Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I couldn't resist dining at the hotel restaurant multiple times. The food was simply really good! I highly recommend the fish skewers with salad for a light meal and the pepper steak with grilled vegetables for a more hearty experience. Every dinner felt like a special occasion, with beautifully presented dishes and attentive service. It was a culinary delight!

Opulent Room Features

The rooms at African House Resort are truly exquisite! My room was tastefully decorated with antique furniture and offered not only comfort but also a sense of luxury. The mosquito netting was beautifully crafted, adding to the overall atmosphere. Every detail was catered to, from the spacious layout to the elegant fixtures. It felt like my own private villa.

Cozy and Comfortable Bedroom

I absolutely loved my stay in the gorgeous bedroom. The oversized bed was a dream, making it hard to leave the comfort of the room! Each morning, waking up to the soothing sounds of nature from the garden added a serene touch to the experience. The walk-in wardrobe and large bathroom made my stay feel all the more lavish.

Luxurious Bathroom Space

I was thrilled with the spacious bathroom in my room. It was large and clean with plenty of room to dry off after a swim. The décor integrated perfectly with the room's style, providing a beautiful and tranquil environment to prepare for the day. The overall elegance made my bathing experience truly enjoyable.

This hotel is a true hidden gem, offering an atmosphere of tranquility and a beautiful blend of rustic charm. While the privacy and opulence of the setting are exceptional, I did find the Wi-Fi a bit lacking as it didn’t reach the rooms. The dining options were delicious, though the prices felt a bit steep compared to nearby restaurants. Overall, a lovely retreat with great character, but there are areas that could use improvement in terms of connectivity and price adjustments in dining.
