Our Stay at Basil Boutique Luxury Hotel

From the moment the security gate opened, we were captivated by the entrance—a lush, vibrant garden of wild native plants intertwined with striking artwork. It felt like stepping into paradise. The combination of the flourishing greenery and the artistic details created a serene and welcoming ambiance.

The property features a sparkling pool with a stylish bar and a newly added restaurant, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation and indulgence.

We had the pleasure of staying in the Presidential Suite, a haven of luxury and comfort. The suite included:

A private jacuzzi and a spacious luxury bathtub.

A fully equipped kitchen with a stove, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and kitchen sink.

A cloth washing machine for added convenience.

A beautifully decorated living room with a TV featuring Netflix and access to free Wi-Fi.

A lavish bedroom with a plush, comfortable bed and elegant decor.

A bathroom outfitted with an 8-Jet Rainfall Shower Panel System that turned every shower into a spa-like experience.

The owner and staff truly elevated our stay. They were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure our experience was nothing short of perfect.

Basil Boutique Luxury Hotel exceeded every expectation and provided a sanctuary that felt like a home away from home. We left feeling refreshed and...

For light travellers via airlines, complimentary consumables provided by the destination hotel/lodge can add value. Some guests do not pack consumables due to weight restrictions on airlines, meaning guests can add an extra pair of shoes or jeans to their luggage in place of a combined consumable total of 1kg. Reason being consumables can be...

Worst experience I have ever had. The manager is only friendly when you arrive then disappears and you will never see him again. Any help needed is slow and rather forget about drinks or food on time or hot. The manager seems to have no interest in the guests or their experiences or concerns, he only interested in his bike and moving around the van in and out. Noisy at the best of times, worst experience. The place looks ok but is cluttered in the garden and the rooms. Pool is dirty,...
