Best place to stay in Upington
The rooms are well equipped with modern, quality finishes. It's comfortable, clean and spacious with a wonderful view of the river. The manager and staff are friendly and assisting. The restaurant exceeded my expectations with a varied menu and wine list and our food were delicious. The same with breakfast. Will definitely stay there again.
