Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort Reviews

We had such a serene and cozy stay. The staff, especially General manager, were so accommodating and helpful. The reception was so polite and insightful and what to do in the area. All the restaurant staff were very friendly and provided good service. The housekeeping and maintenance staff were friendly and efficient xxx

The place was BEAUTIFUL. A perfect getaway for couples and an even better getaway for a family with children. The rock pools were lovely, staff service was on point and the food and milkshakes were lovely .. Our favourite was waking up to the dam just outside our patio :)

Beautiful grounds and great bedrooms. Staff went out of there way to help. The amenities were spot on. Food in the restaurant was fantastic , The room was clean great shower pressure . The grounds were safe and ideal to have a walk. Plenty of coffee tea and milk in rooms and refreshed every day.

This is the first time ever in more than 20 years of hiking that I have seen our group smiling at the dinner table. The dinner was quite superb. Earlier we walked the golf course to enjoy that magnificence. An early start took us past Cathkin shrouded in the mist to Ntunja - eye of the needle in Zulu or Gatberg hidden behind Monks Cowl in a spectacular day hike. Again that awesome dinner that awaited our return was quickly demolished.. Breakfast was just fabulous. Our rooms were clean and very comfortable and our short Sunday hike of 8 km just exquisite. The staff were friendly and efficient. We will go back.

Booked for a Christmas vacation for a family of 52. We had the best time, the kids loved it, the adults loved it. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend. Would definitely come back again & again……..

This by far is a top class establishment where you will be treated like a king and queen, from the moment you book in to entering your room everything is at its best. You are spoiled for choice with the food options either buffet or alecart. The new management that has been here just over a year (a wife and husband duo) have brought the standard up to where Mr Gooderson can be proud to of appointed them to this role. Issues are resolved quickly and timeously. The management dont make you feel like a number they actually do there rounds and engage with their guests. A Big thank you to Kyle, Charmaine and all staff from the grounds men, maintenance, cleaning staff Chef and helpers and reception, and any staff left out you lucky to have the management team like this they are a prime example of how things should be run. A big thank you toball of you. Thank for our stay we are so relaxed. A much needed rest. Clint and Celeste

We had an excellent two night stay in the hotel. We were well accommodated and had fantastic service from all the staff – from the GM to the ground staff we were treated so well during our stay. Our rooms were neat and tidy and smelled very fresh. The restaurant serves scrumptious meals too.

Excellent experience at this resort from our entry at reception to the good meals that we enjoyed. Very friendly staff and welcoming warm experience. We arrived late on Friday and left early on Sunday morning but we needed more time to enjoy facilities at the resort. will be back soon

What a lovely and peaceful place to stay - will recommend it to anyone. The food was amazing. The service what one would expect, and more. The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. It was a pleasure staying at Gooderson Monks Cowl Golf Resort - Thank you

comfortable lodge type rooms well equipped good value. included breakfast which was good quality. dinner at week was buffet style and was ok. the other evenings are ala carte which was much better. parking outside lodge door. we didnt use any other facilites but looks to be a few things to do. nicely located for drivng into the moutains.

We spent 2 nights here as part of an organized group tour. During the free day, it was lovely walking around the golf course and around the facilities. I mean, the backdrop is the mighty Drakensberg mountain range! The room was pretty with all the necessary amenities. The bathroom was a bit outdated but I could live with it considering my short stay. The miss for me was the extremely overpriced food. I ordered a slice of chocolate cake, about 4cm by 4cm, and was charged R120 for it.

The receptionist were very friendly except that at night they didn’t answer the phone regarding we had no water on that time. Breakfast was scrumptious the waitress were very helpful Our room was excellent and clean. We were disappointed at jacuzzi it’s not working at least if you have a warm pool because it’s winter time.

The resort is excellent value for money. There was many things for my 3 yr old to do. It's peaceful, quiet and most especially clean. All staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and the food are the restaurant was amazing!!
