Africa Golf Vacations

Rich and famous

We booked Bay Club at Anahita for 10 nights as a family of five with children aged 7, 14 and 17. Sadly, we had to check out after one night, which was a real shame. The main issue was major renovation work around the restaurant, bar and pool, which we had not been made aware of. Noise, boarded-up areas and building work spoiled the ambience. Our apartment overlooked the restaurant and was also affected by workmen and scaffolding next door. We were half board and the hotel had erected a marquee on the grass as a temporary restaurant. Unfortunately, it was poorly ventilated, attracted ants and uncomfortable. Management and staff were clearly embarrassed and acknowledged other guests had left. They tried to accommodate us in the Italian restaurant, but food options were limited. The hotel kindly arranged for us to move to its sister property, Long Beach. However, this was not comparable to Bay Club, but we had little alternative. There were positives. Our apartment was fantastic: spacious, modern, very clean and luxurious. The grounds and golf-course surroundings were beautifully maintained, and the resort felt exclusive, sharing the area with Four Seasons. We particularly loved the boat trip to the island and its stunning beach. We enjoyed it so much that we returned later in our hire car, which the hotel allowed. Once renovations are complete, Bay Club could be fantastic. It is peaceful and remote, although there is limited to do nearby and teenagers may find it quiet.

My favourite Johannesburg hotel. Friendly, helpful staff are always the standout

The property was really clean and had good amount of towel plates cutleey etc. the major issue we had was that the roof was leaking everywhere in most rooms. One of the beds was wet and we slept with water dripping next to us the enter night. When I raised it with the reception, there was no apology for the inconvenience but only stating that it was the thatched roof. If they know about the leaks, they should maintain the roof.
