Super clean and beautifull rooms with a nice view of the garden. The view from the outdoor swimming pool is amazing but unfortunetely it was too cold to swim outside. They do have an indoor heated swimming pool as well so that is very nice. The african aromatic massage was really relaxing and good. The breakfast was very good as well as lunch and dinner.

There is only one word "Outstanding". We can't better describe. From arrival to departure everything was perfect. We were also very lucky to get an upgrade to the Captains Suite. A special thank to Joe and Patty, a more friendly and obliging service couldn't be offered! If it weren't so far, we would definitely come back again and again. Also thank you to Wayne, your House is Perfect!

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.

An excellent stay at Amanzi where we were able to experiment two different rooms. Both were very comfy. The fisherman suite is awesome with its private pool and very large bathroom. The view from the room is stunning. We loved to be able to do kayaking in the morning (the hotel provides kayak for free). Miriam was very diligent to help us booking some nice restaurants always with a wonderful view seating.
