Bramasole Boutique Hotel

It is so peaceful, loved the serenity and beautiful furnishings.

Bramasole is where an architect's eye, an artisit's heart and the passion of a rare furniture collector meet to provide the perfect spot to rest one's weary bones. I have stayed a Bramasole from time to time since 2013 and the guesthouse now is even better than in those magic days. The addition of the suites (e.g. Prague Room) is definitely a positive development. We thoroughly enjoyed the visual delight of the themed rooms. A dinner that we prepared for ourselves (charcuterie plates) in the boathouse with the fairy lighting around the deck completed an enchanted evening.

Bramasole was recommended to us by a friend who lives locally because of the beautiful setting. We were not disappointed and the access road from the R71 is an easy drive. The hotel building and setting is wonderful and the staff is friendly but the overall impression is that this beautiful location needs some TLC. Some examples: - The towel rail in my room clattered to the ground when I removed a towel. When I mentioned this I was promised it would be fixed. Sure enough, it was up on the wall again, but the minute I touched it it fell down once more. - The shower in another room floods the bathroom floor when used. - missing curtain hooks on the bedroom curtains - garden chair tore when one of us sat on it - empty soap dispensers in the bathrooms Please! Look after this beautiful place so that it can be enjoyed by future guests.

Bramasole Guest House **** in the Magoebaskloof Mountains is an incredibly beautiful and supremely comfortable stop to or from the Kruger Park. Start your Kruger holiday with a touch of luxury or wash off the Kruger dust on your way home. Vuyi, the manager, Katy the chef and all the other staff are so friendly, helpful and willing to please. Right from the first greeting, by a gentle dappled dachshund to the final farewell, we loved our stay. Everything is beautiful. Each room thoughtfully designed to fit it’s theme. And not only beautiful but every possible need is addressed. Breakfast was delicious and although dinner is not usually served, Katy whipped up a yummy meal for us so that we did not have to brave the pea-soup-mist to go out again. Of course the mist only added to the charm of a beautiful setting. We can’t wait to come back.

Das Bramasole Boutique Hotel liegt wirklich wunderschön – mit viel Charme und einer besonderen Atmosphäre. Leider hatten wir bei unserer Ankunft Pech: Der Strom war ausgefallen (der Generator war defekt) und es war entsprechend kalt und ungemütlich. Die Stimmung war zunächst gedrückt. Das Team hat sich jedoch große Mühe gegeben, die Situation zu verbessern, und uns nach einiger Zeit in die nahegelegenen Chalets (ca. 500 m entfernt) umgebucht – ohne Aufpreis und mit Stromversorgung. Auch Abendessen und Frühstück wurden uns dort serviert. Die Chalets sind sehr modern, neu und ebenfalls idyllisch gelegen. Trotz der Anfangsschwierigkeiten haben wir die zwei Tage insgesamt genießen können – vor allem dank des Engagements des Personals, unserer Reisbegleitung Daniela von Matakataka Tours & Safari und der schönen Umgebung
