We stayed over in Himeville again on our way to the Transkei. Stayed here 2 years ago as well. We stayed in rondawels at the back of the house. Interior is old, but clean and comfortable. Fridge not switched on, so remember to ask Geraldine to switch it on before your arrival.

Perfect winter or summer destination

Reviewed By Markie-Post

Moorcroft Manor gives you that country style, home from home feel. The owners dine in the same venue and nonchalantly mingle without imposing. The staff are attentive and extremely courteous. The suites are spacious with separate en-suite, lounge, book selection, coffee station, underfloor heating etc.

Great food with special attention from the chef. We had chicken schnitzel and it was amazing. The restaurant was quiet and they had a fire going. The chef came and checked in specially to see how our food was.

Fantastic stay

Reviewed By PriyaPRS

We travelled as a family of 3 on the weekend of the 7th May which happened to be my Son's 12th Birthday. We had a fantastic stay. Lovely room in fantastic condition. Welcome gift. A gift for my son and cake on his birthday. Amenities are very well kept and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I am very fussy but I will definitely be returning here and checking out their other properties. The food was good and the breakfast and dinner spread catered for people with diff dietary needs. If things go wrong the staff are quick to sort out with no fuss at all. Highly recommend a stay here. I've stayed at 5 star hotels which are not as well maintained as this and whose staff come nowhere near to the attentive staff at Premier Sani Pass

We visited Lake Glencairn for 2 nights on 30 Dec 2021. We found the service to be exceptional, the scenery breath-taking, the fresh air invigorating, and the accommodation well appointed and inviting. I would definitely go back to Lake Glencairn and would have no reservation in recommending it to anyone wanting a quick, restful getaway in the southern foothills of the majestic Drakensburg.
