Overnight stay

We were breaking our journey, so only there overnight, but it was a great stay. Wonderful having the animals strolling outside. Ideally a longer stay would be better to experience more that's on offer. Facilities were good. Direction signage could be better placed.

We enjoyed our stay at St Ives. The staff were so polite and helpful. One staff member (David) came by to check that everything was alright with our room and then offered to make a fire in our veranda grill stove while we went out to buy meat for dinner. When we came back from the store there was a wonderful fire there, ready for us to start grilling immediately. What service!

BORING BROWN

It was raining very hard and we had to run to our room in the rain, there is no cover to the rooms. The rooms are boring, brown and terracota, there is no special attention given to the rooms or bathroom. The pillows are way too high so you cant get comfortable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

We only had electricity in one or two lamps our entire weekend, whether load shedding was on or off. Even when we heard the generator running, will still didn’t have lights, kettle, etc. We still had lovely hot water, so it was all a bit strange. Thank goodness for a lovely fire and early nights.

There is lack of back up Power during load shedding. There is no water during load shedding as they only use borehole water. We had no water and couldn’t shower, the staff was unhelpful.

St ives stay

I enjoyed my stay in st ives , we stayed in one of rhe luxury suites and it was clean , spacious and tidy but my favourite thing about at ives was the luscious green acres of land sprawiling with zebras , duikers and game. I enjoyed running in the morning on the premises on the vitality trail and going for a dip in the pool after. I will definitely be heading back 3🙂

Pre Comrades stay over

Rooom didn’t look like the picture. We only stayed 1night, didn’t have breakfast there as we had to leave early. They did pack us a breakfast pack though. Not bad for a one night sleep over.

We stayed over for one night and enjoyed it very much. The breakfast was average with not much variety but there was enough. The luxury suites are enormous and with a lovely view over the valley. A most relaxing and comfortable stay.
