Lovely property. Big comfortable rooms, and nice bathrooms Didn’t seem to be any phones in the room to call reception so had to use mobile to call the hotel. Good breakfast although buffet selection could be better. Staff very helpful

perfect stay
De Zalze Golf and Wine estate is absolutely beautiful. Located in a safe and pretty location and with a great golf course. All staff really friendly. Best restaurant "terroire" right next door. It was perfect and I would go anytime again. The only down side was the non-working wifi in the room - but was available in the lobby.

The food at the restaurant was on the pricey side - but that is to be expected since it's more posh than the on-site buffet style restaurant. The service is amazing - the staff friendly - and it has some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever see. Free bikes to borrow to ride on the paths through the vineyard. Oh yeah, and the wine ain't bad either ;)
