Pontac - always a great relaxing time.

I am a repeat visitor to Pontac. A lovely place to spend time at, especially outside on the stoep. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The rooms are great, wonderful views of the mountains surrounding Paarl. Definite value for money. The only area for improvement would be breakfast, it is okay, but could use some attention.

This is very nice place in an old setting. Excellent breakfast. Rooms are large and nice beds. Rooms are not very sound proof. Staff at reception not very knowledgeable about surrounding tourist attractions.

Pontac Hotel

After a long day of travelling it is always good to come back to a clean, comfortable, spacious room. The highlight is that I did not have to drive to the resturant for dinner- it was located next door to the hotel!

Great stay at Pontac

Pontac Manor was comfortable, beautiful view over the mountain. Rooms were spacious and service good. Restaurant right next to Pontac very convenient for business dinner. Loved the wrap around verandah for relaxation and drinks.

Dowdy Charm

The hotel is attractive in an “old world” way. The rooms are comfortable but bathrooms are small without any shelf space. The food is not up to par and the staff does not have much personality After saying all of that, the value is above average.

Gutes Hotel in schöne Umgebung.

Gutes Hotel in schöne Umgebung. Sehr nettes Personal. Leider wird nicht so gründlich geputzt. Das auf dem Gelände befindliche Restaurant ist sehr gut und sehr zum Empfehlen.
