    Loved the experience, as always. I would however like to suggest perhaps having ceiling fans in the Klipkelder, for the warm days. The ambience was not as relaxing as I have hoped for, due to a bunch of teenagers who celebrated a birthday. I am all for celebrations and laughter, but screaming and running around was not what I had expected from 13 year olds, and especially also not for a Sunday. Food and service was amazing!

    Thank you for the fab feedback Chantelle; and for being with us over the weekend. Although the Klipkelder is the coolest place on the property, we agree that introducing fans on the top level will help move the air throughout. So thank you for the encouragement to pursue this option. Excited party kids is a tricky one to control, but something we can definitely manage better on the day taking everyone into consideration who is nearby. We hope to see you again soon.
