We enjoyed our stay at St Ives. The staff were so polite and helpful. One staff member (David) came by to check that everything was alright with our room and then offered to make a fire in our veranda grill stove while we went out to buy meat for dinner. When we came back from the store there was a wonderful fire there, ready for us to start grilling immediately. What service!

The accommodation is spacious and clean in beautiful peaceful surroundings. The room interior itself could be updated, especially with 4 stars.

Andile's service was amazing - we left our daughters shoes behind and she called me the very same day to let me know. Don't see service like that often. Well done Andile!!

We stayed over for one night and enjoyed it very much. The breakfast was average with not much variety but there was enough. The luxury suites are enormous and with a lovely view over the valley. A most relaxing and comfortable stay.

We absolutely loved our stay at St Ives! It's the second time we've stayed there, & we'll certainly go again. We love the bird life & the various antelope & zebra that greet us every morning. It's a good idea to bring your own braai tongs, a dish for meat & a salad bowl or plastic dish if you're planning to barbecue, because these items are not provided in the units. Mind you, if one asked I'm sure that these items would be available. Everything else was lovely!

What a lovely place, and the wildlife was absolutely spectacular. Really enjoyed our stay and the barman and the staff at the Boma were OUTSTANDING.

We only had electricity in one or two lamps our entire weekend, whether load shedding was on or off. Even when we heard the generator running, will still didn’t have lights, kettle, etc. We still had lovely hot water, so it was all a bit strange. Thank goodness for a lovely fire and early nights.

The place was very peaceful and beautiful. Very relaxing. Included breakfast would have been appreciated, especially since the rates are quite high.

I enjoyed my stay in st ives , we stayed in one of rhe luxury suites and it was clean , spacious and tidy but my favourite thing about at ives was the luscious green acres of land sprawiling with zebras , duikers and game. I enjoyed running in the morning on the premises on the vitality trail and going for a dip in the pool after. I will definitely be heading back 3🙂

Rooom didn’t look like the picture. We only stayed 1night, didn’t have breakfast there as we had to leave early. They did pack us a breakfast pack though. Not bad for a one night sleep over.

Enjoyed a lovely 2 day break with my wife. Excellent breakfast. Good location, right opposite Piggly Wiggly. Great stay overall.

St Ives is perfectly located near Midmar, and directly across the road from Piggly Wiggly. It makes a great base to explore the Midlands Meander. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Staff service is very good and the breakfast at the lake side restaurant is great!!

St Ives is a great place to use as a base to explore the Midlands Meander. The property is home to Wildebeest, Zebra, Blesbok & Impala which are always a hit with kids. The units are kept clean and have everything you need, as breakfast is provided at the lakeside restaurant. For dinner there is the choice of the Boma Restaurant which is on the property, or a number of nearby restaurants. St Ives is conveniently located near Midmar, and being directly across the road from Piggly Wiggly is also a plus! We will be back!!

It was raining very hard and we had to run to our room in the rain, there is no cover to the rooms. The rooms are boring, brown and terracota, there is no special attention given to the rooms or bathroom. The pillows are way too high so you cant get comfortable.
