Fairview Hotels,Spa & Golf Resort

Was a great stay at the resort, we were well looked after and hosted. Everything that we needed was either catered for and taken care of. Would highly recommending staying at Fairview Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort.

Old fashioned hotel, high ceilings, with thatched roofs. The bedroom is fine with a large, well designed bathroom. The WiFi did not work to start with but a staff member came and fixed it. Breakfast was fine, a typical South African breakfast spread, hot and cold, with excellent fruit. A dinner with vegetarian pizza - good but not crisp enough, and a fillet steak in pepper sauce that was excellent. The pub is pleasant but the service is slow, I guess this is a rural setting, ao one must relax and slow down. There is no immediate rush. The business side worked well and the Avocado Symposium ran smoothly, in an excellent presentation room with a good AV and microphone system. The lunch was a bit sparse, and dinner braai ran out of meat, when I got to it. It poured with rain, which made the room smell a bit musty, but that is part of the ambiance, I think. Tzaneen is pretty tropical in summer. Overall, a pleasant stay, nice bed, nice room, pleasant staff, good food.

The accommodation was good overall, we booked two rooms but only ended using one because of our family dynamics. Breakfast was underwhelming, yet the service was descent. The place is wonderful though and close to quality shops which was a plus for us.

This hotel is terrible! Our room was not clean (chips all over the floor under the beds), disgusting smell of sewerage, excessively slow service, electricity went off in thw room and blaring music from the other clientele. Very poor and disappointing.

I came to Tzaneen because my daughter was in the hospital. The hotel is close to the hospital. After two days, she was able to join me, but we had to stick around. So, it wasn't a trip we made as a vacation or for fun. Our stay was very pleasant. We remained mainly at the property and discovered more nice things the longer we stayed. Like the Spa and the nice clubhouse at the river. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit, which felt a bit like home. The only drawback is that it smells a bit musty. The staff is very friendly and helpfull, I loved swimming in the pool and I walked along the river when there were not many golfplayers. All together I think it's a nice place to stay and relax, and for us it was a very pleasant stay in a time that was actually not that much fun.

Please do revisit your formula for earlier success as a premium lodge/hotel and keep the standard up
