Rejuvenating, comfortable and impeccable. It was an amazing experience. The accommodation was tidy and impeccable. The views and atmosphere were majestic. The breakfast was spectacular and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Overall experience was a 10/10.

Incredibly delicious. Got the most delicious breakfast every morning. Everyone was very friendly.

Ongelooflik lekker. Elke oggend die lekkerste ontbyt gekry. Almal baie vriendelik gewees.

Great location and peaceful experience. Wonderful stay at El Shadai. My friend and I stayed in the Luxury Unit. The staff were very welcoming, the breakfast in the morning is lovely, and all in all just a nice stay with good views. The location is great as you will be spoilt for choice with many restaurants, markets, etc. in Schoemansville. The only thing to note when booking this unit is that the shower and bath are open plan and thus part of the main bedroom (toilet is separate with a door), just something to consider if you book 3 people in this room. We were pleasantly surprised with a well-sized fridge and coffee-making facilities in the room. As with any town in South Africa, just be security conscious at all times. I will definitely book El Shadai again.

Beautiful view. I had a nice stay. However, the access to the guesthouse is difficult for older people, lots of stairs and uphills, with no help with luggage. The doors are swollen due to the wetness, and are difficult to open and close. I believe this will be addressed. Owner made me feel uncomfortable. No cellphone signal - dependent on guesthouse WiFi.

Mooi uitsig. Ek het lekker gebly. Die toegang na die gastehuis is egter moeilik vir ouer mense, baie trappe en opdraande, met geen hulp met bagasie nie. Die deure is geswel a.g.v. die nattigheid, en sukkel om oop en toe te maak. Ek glo daar sal aandag aan gegee word. Eienaar het my ongemaklik laat voel. Geen selfoonsein - afhanklik van gastehuis se WiFi.

View very nice, breakfast was good. Spa facilities are poor, and it is too expensive. According to the marketing, it is El Shadai Guesthouse & Spa. The Spa section makes no sense. I called twice and got no answer, then sent an email to request that the jacuzzi be turned on. Upon arrival, we realized that the jacuzzi that everyone uses is outside in the garden, outside and far to walk through the dining room. Henry, the manager, then allowed us to use the jacuzzi in a room one floor lower since there were no guests staying. However, we had to wait for the water to heat up. We requested to use the jacuzzi again the next day. Initially, Henry confirmed that it was okay, to call later and say that there were guests coming in, we need to use the outdoor spa, but it takes 4 hours to heat up. In the afternoon at 16:30, the spa was still not hot. The pool on the third floor water was cold and not suitable for swimming. The room is spacious, but the wardrobe is very small with no microwave. The bathtub in the room is also small and the edges are very sharp. My wife broke her leg. The guesthouse should definitely not advertise the Spa facilities and is too expensive for the facilities available. The parking is also not easy at all, especially if you park there with a bakkie or a large vehicle.

Uitsig baie mooi, ontbyt was goed. Spa geriewe is swak, en dit is te duur. Volgens die bemarking is dit El Shadai Guesthouse & Spa. Die Spa gedeelte maak nie sin nie. Ek het 2 x geskakel en geen antwoord gekry, toe 'n epos gestuur om te versoek dat die jazuzzi aangeskakel word. By aankoms het ons besef die jazuzzi wat almal gebruik, is buite in die tuin, buite en ver om te stap deur die eetkamer. Henry, die bestuurder, het toe toegelaat dat ons die jazuzzi by 'n kamer een vloer laer kan gebruik aangesien daar nie gaste bly. Ons moes egter wag dat die water warm word. Ons het versoek om die jazuzzi weer die volgende dag te gebruik. Aanvanklik het Henry bevestig dit is reg, om later te bel en te sê dat daar gaste inkom, ons moet die buite spa gebruik, maar dit neem 4 ure om warm te word. Die middag om 16:30 was die spa nog nie warm nie. Die swembad op die derde vloer se water was koud en nie geskik vir swem nie. Die kamer is ruim, maar die klerekas is baie klein met geen mikrogolfoond. Die bad in die kamer is ook klein en die rande is baie skerp. My vrou het haar been stukkend gestamp. Die gastehuis moet beslis nie die Spa geriewe adverteer nie en is te duur vir die fasiliteite wat beskikbaar is. Die parkering is ook glad nie maklik nie, veral as jy met 'n bakkie of 'n groot voertuig daar parkeer.

Unsatisfactory. False advertising – very disappointing. The pool was empty and out of order, which was not mentioned in the listing. I would never have booked the place had I known this in advance, as the pool was the main reason for choosing it. This was extremely disappointing and left me very unhappy with the stay.

Thank you for your review. There was a room with a private pool available for the next day.

Don't go back again! No one was there on arrival. Saturday night there was no hot water to shower/bath. Sunday morning there was still no hot water. No parking when we arrived at the guesthouse on Saturday night, stopped right behind all the vehicles to be able to park inside. We arranged for breakfast on Sunday morning at 07:00 because we had a long way home. At 07:05 there was still no one for breakfast, only arrived close to 10 past 7 to prepare breakfast. Cleaner was in the room when we returned from breakfast on Saturday morning, no privacy.

Gaan nie weer terug nie! Niemand was daar op aankoms. Saterdag aand was daar geen warm water om te stort/bad nie. Sondagoggend was daar steeds nie warm water gewees nie. Geen parkering toe ons by die gastehuis kom Saterdagaand nie, dwars agter al die voertuie gestop om binne te kan parkeer. Ons het gereël vir ontbyt Sondagoggend om 07:00 omdat ons 'n ver pad huis toe het. 07:05 was daar nog niemand vir ontbyt nie, het eers naby aan 10 oor 7 daar op gedaag om ontbyt voor te berei. Skoonmaker was binne kamer toe ons terugkom van ontbyt af Saterdagoggend, geen privaatheid.
