Foxwood House

It's a beautiful place I love the area so much of all the gardens the animals that are there is lovely I see the pool the dinner area the hotel I give this a 5 star

Pics make this property look a bit better than what we experienced. Arrived fairly early in the morning after a long flight, rainy and gloomy, with wet red dirt road in the back. We were shown immediately to a room, although not the room I booked(booked Mary Oates, got Emmie's Suite). I think because we were the only ones there, maybe one other person for one night. I had prepaid, so we never were asked to go to the lobby or for a cc. Room was clean, furniture was more on the old side than antique, beds were good, towels were scant. Due to overcast, too was very gloomy and dark. There is AC, but no heat, so we had a small portable floor heater. Bathroom could have used a a better cleaning, sink area was redone, but counter extremely low. A large bar of soap was provided, nothing else, no shampoo, lotion, tissues. TV was not working but they were helpful and we resolved this. The provided a couple bottles of water and later brought us a larger jug, several liters. The breakfast prepared by Mavis was good both mornings, although the dining room was large and cold. The grounds could by magnificent with some upkeep, swans, ducks, etc. and may have looked better with sunnier weather. "Interesting" place. I know friends like us that would have embraced it as best they could and others that would have run for the Hyatt...

Johannesburg was our jumping off point for Zambia and a rest stop between very long flights. Location is residential so pretty quiet. I loved the old world charm, antique furnishings, seating areas; it's an historic manor house. Booked the Coach House as we were only there 2 nights. Sun sets early so we arrived in the dark with our take away food. First night basically exhausted. Decided to spend the day on the grounds, in the morning we were offered an upgrade as a large group was checking out. Moving to the Onze Rust Emmies suite was so much better. The grounds are amazing walk ways with little hidden areas, ponds, ducks, so unique for a city location. Now for my takeaways, we traveled for a month and the devil is in the details. First room had no hand towels, paper towels, eating utensils for 2. Lights were so dim it was really hard unpacking that first night. Bathrooms tho in both rooms are huge. Emmie's suite has a private little patio in back and lovely furniture and a working TV. We walked to the Killarney Mall and WOW, needed a pharmacy and bought quite a few things at Woolworths (who knew they were still around) Hotel staff friendly and very accommodating for breakfast. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone it's got that old african feel to it.
