Turbine Hotel & Spa

have been a regular guest at this hotel, visiting once a year, and I am usually very satisfied with the experience. However, this time, the first room we were given (Room 109) was truly disappointing and did not meet the standards I've come to expect, especially for the price paid. Knowing the quality of the other rooms, this one fell far below expectations. That said, I would like to highlight the excellent service provided by the reception staff. The receptionist listened to my concerns with great understanding and worked tirelessly to find us another room, which I greatly appreciated. Another initial disappointment was the spa, which was fully booked upon our arrival, and we were unable to make a reservation. However, the spa team went above and beyond to accommodate us, eventually finding a slot for my partner and me. This level of dedication was much appreciated. In summary, despite some initial setbacks, the staff's efforts and dedication made the stay enjoyable!

Loved it here - why go anywhere else. On the stunning Thesen Island where you feel you are in a different secure world. Surrounded by restaurants, bars and boutiques. Only a short drive to Wilderness National Park and Storms River for hiking and kayaking. The Hotel has been transformed from a powerplant in such an imaginative way . The installations look like art pieces. The place is so airy and looks so vast with the heigh ceilings. The view room our room was just stunning with our little balcony, perfect for a nice glass of wine or Amarula as the sun goes down. The hotel bar is well run and has a great choice of snacks, cocktails and wines. All at sensible prices. We noted other cheaper than at surrounding restaurants. The cocktails were high class and worth popping in each night before you head off to eat. We didn't get a chance to eat in but from the bar food I am sure the restaurant is excellent. Staff were all super friendly and felt well looked after. The perfect first stop if you are doing the Garden Route after leaving Cape Town +/- wine country +/- Hermanus (if whale watching) The bar staff member Duwayne deserves mention - so friendly, attentive and fun - loved his service.+

Great location and great hotel to look at , kept original features and explains history of the turbine . Room was great. Nice size and the bed was very comfortable .

Quirky feel to the hotel given its past as a power station but it has been well thought out and provides an interesting twist to the stay. The staff were excellent and breakfast was wonderful even including 'Green Eggs and Ham' for Dr Seuss fans. We didn't eat in the main restaurant but did eat in the snack bar area and were not disappointed with the quality or quantity of food.

The location was perfect, did not struggle with anything, the breakfast was too limited, it would be nice if you can change increase the menu so that one is not bored with eating the same thing daily.
