This place was absolutely beautiful! A huge thank you to Innocent and Prince for the incredibly delicious and flavorful vegan meals. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for amazing vegan cuisine. I loved every moment here—such a wonderful place to stay and unwind!

1. No games room 2. Capets was smelling in the room. Sofa was old and smelling . 3.Lastly, I didn’t appreciate that after we had checked in and settled, the cleaner entered our room while we were at the pool just to leave chocolates. If room service isn’t being done, it’s not appropriate to enter the room once guests have settled—unless it’s for a necessary check-in. It felt intrusive and a bit rude.

The bed was comfortable and room big enough for us

Food was underwhelming, not too many options on the menu

Blades has an authentic African feel without the usual cliches. It is only a short drive from Pretoria and near the Roodeplaat dam. The ambience is excellent, and the service is even better. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Our steak and fillet dinner was terrific and well-presented. Our stay at Blades was the highlight of our trip to South Africa.

The bathrooms did not smell fresh, probably due to it being a septic system, but the reception addressed our issue promptly and in a friendly manner.

The rooms were exactly as shown on the website, clean and comfortable. We had a spectacular view of the dam from our balcony. Staff was friendly and welcoming, security lady greeted us with a warm smile and directed us where to go. Restaurant staff was also amazingly attentive especially about bringing our dinner order to our room. I would definitely visit the hotel again , it was a five star experience

Although the room had a no smoking sign on the wall, the previous occupants must have smoked in there because there was the smell of smoke lingering in the room which made it a bit stuffy instead of smelling fresh

The scenery, the deck, and sounds of birds just makes it so therapeutic. The room was beautiful and spacious with a dam view. The food is good but The blades could do better with the food menu and picnic setup and presentation.

Having to choose on the hot breakfast Between buffet and Omelette, threw me off a bit because i would have loved some of the hot buffet foods and an omelette on the side. so you choose one

Firstly, it was a last minute booking but our room was excellent, beautiful linen, clean bathroom and cabinets. The scenery ,the ambiance.... The receptionist was very helpful. We were warned of the stench coming from the dam.im advance and they don't control over it. My husband and I had a beautiful stay and we are definitely going to come back.

The food orders at the restaurant took a bit longer and my order the chicken fillet was too dry.
