As you know, I love my staycations – imagine my joy at discovering Faircity Hotel Group’s Roodevallei property, perfect for a one night or weekend escape from the city, in to utter tranquility!
A river runs through it, literally, and the property lies on the banks of the Pienaar’s River, surrounded by a nature reserve and a bird sanctuary.
You kind of get the feeling that you are completely in the bush, when in actual fact you are a mere 15 minutes outside of Pretoria.
Checking in was a smooth process, and the gentleman at reception made us feel right at home, with a huge smile and efficient service. Complete with thatched roofs for a really bush break feel, the hotel is famed for its tranquil country setting – and checking in to our River Facing Room was like stepping in to a suite – the room is huge!
Our room came complete with a bath and shower, and a seperate toilet which I loved, as well as mosquito nets and electric blankets (we know how cold it can get in the bush on a winters evening!)
Require a hair dryer? No sweat – call reception. Need a specialised room drop to surprise that someone special (think marriage proposals here). No problem – call reception. Wake up call? Well, you get the idea!
The gardens are lush and green and perfectly manicured, I really wish that we had arrived slightly earlier while the sun was up to just lie on them and connect with nature – of which there is an abundance!
They also have a spa on site – which I am certainly making booking for next time.
Dinner and breakfast are served buffet style and are plentiful – fresh cooked meats, veggies and salads for dinner, with an extensive wine list to go with it 😉
Breakfast came complete with the usual hot and cold buffet, as well as self serve coffee and juice station, enough to fuel you up for a busy day ahead.
