The resort has beautiful gardens and clean areas, with multiple pools, including heated options. However, my overall experience was marred by inconsistent service, mediocre dining, and lack of attention to special requests. The resort has potential, but these issues really affected our stay.
Rooms
5.0
The accommodations were clean but not very well-maintained. We encountered a leaking fridge and cockroach issues which were not promptly resolved.
Service
5.0
Service at the resort was disappointing. We experienced rude behavior from staff and a lack of effort in addressing our concerns.
Location
6.0
The resort is set in tranquil gardens, but it's quite far from other activities, making it challenging especially with kids.
Dining
5.0
Dining was average at best, with a limited wine selection that didn't live up to South African standards, and service was lacking.
Facilities
6.0
While the gardens and pools are visually appealing, the facilities need maintenance, and extra fees for activities were frustrating.

Magalies Park has some really nice aspects, like the beautiful chalets and lovely surroundings. However, the service lacks consistency, especially with check-in and restaurant wait times, which could dampen the experience. The facilities are enjoyable, but there are some areas that need improvement to make the stay better overall.
Rooms
8.0
The chalets are modern, spacious, and well-maintained, creating a cozy atmosphere with the thatch roofing, although wildlife debris occasionally finds its way inside.
Service
5.0
The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were friendly, there were times when our needs felt overlooked, especially when ordering food.
Location
7.0
Nestled in the mountains, the location offers beautiful open spaces, but it's a bit remote, which may be less suitable for families with young kids.
Dining
5.0
Dining could use some improvement as we often faced long waits for our meals, despite the initial enthusiasm from the waitstaff.
Facilities
6.0
There are fun activities available, and the pools can be enjoyable, but the heating of one pool when it's so hot outside seems unnecessary.

I had a fantastic stay at Magalies Park, where the golf course was in excellent condition and the surroundings were breathtaking. The accommodation was clean and well-equipped for self-catering, making it great for our group. While the overall experience was pleasurable, the evening Sunset Cruise did leave something to be desired as it wasn't quite as advertised. But overall, it was a wonderful trip, especially for a mini getaway with friends.

I had an amazing weekend at this resort! The service was excellent, and the layout of the chalet made me feel right at home. The beautiful views and serene surroundings were a highlight. However, I can see how some might want more variety in the dining options and activities closer to the rooms.

I had a wonderful experience at the resort. The atmosphere was beautiful, overlooking the river, and my accommodation was spacious and well-kept. The amenities were impressive and offered a variety of fun activities for the family. However, the lack of Wi-Fi and the somewhat disappointing air conditioning were drawbacks. Nonetheless, these did not overshadow the overall enjoyment of our stay.
