This was the best hotel in our garden route tour. Every detail has been looked after. The room had an amazing view, a wooden fire hot tub, fireplace, comfy bed, the people were very attentive and the pool and sauna were a very big plus. Highly recommended!

I had an incredible stay at the Turbine Hotel & Spa. The unique setting in a converted power station was both fascinating and charming. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the marina. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. The on-site spa provided a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, perfect after a day of exploring. The dining options were superb, with a delicious variety of dishes to choose from. Overall, a memorable and delightful stay. Highly recommended!

Old school charm and ambiance. Lovely views from the veranda. Rooms were large and comfortable. Excellent and helpful staff. We enjoyed the two dinners we had in the hotel. Also ate in harbour area - The Dry Dock restaurant which was excellent but suggest you book in advance.

Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
