Serene mountain view of Little Switzerland

Little Switzerland gave us a very pleasant stay. The gardens were well kept and clean. Units were excellently clean. My only down snag was my neighbors were playing loud music, drinking alcohol at the pool and shouting loudly and stepping out of their unit naked. Enjoyed the hikes and watching the baboons.

A really lovely place surrounded by nature. It was so peaceful there. The grounds are beautifully maintained and nice to see and hear birdlife. The room was very spacious and comfortable. Nice walks directly from the lodge. Food was excellent and catered for us as vegetarians. Very friendly staff. We did not use the pools much, at the top pool there was a lot of noisy guests playing loud music, and at the lower pool we found it was dirty. Other than that it was a very nice stay.

3 star hotel

We had a 3 night stay at Little Switzerland. The room was spacious with a patio but a little dated, the carpet was lumpy with the underfloor heating only working in parts. The bathroom was clean and spacious with a jacuzzi style bath but had a rather low end metal wash hand basin. Location is excellent with lovely hikes/ walks. Evening dinners were very good , nice selection with fair service. Poor selection .choice and service at breakfast time.

Layout of room

The front door has a semi frosted glass that can see through, without a curtain. For a elderly couple in the 70’s having a split level accommodation with the toilet on the entrance landing was very uncomfortable

The property was very dated and did not have any of the listed amenities available. It's was cold and desolate. Empty off all but a few workers. Some were incredibly helpful while others did not seem too care about the customers. I will not recommend this place to anyone. We went with our family and had to leave early because it was so cold and they refused to provide blankets or any kind of heat. Will be filling a report with my credit card company.

Schönes geräumiges Zimmer für drei Personen. Das Personal im Restaurant war super freundlich und auf Zack. Die Rezeption konnte das Niveau leider nicht halten. Hier hätten wir uns ein freundlicheres Willkommen gewünscht. Da wir sehr früh vor Ort waren, war das Zimmer verständlicherweise nicht fertig. Leider gab es außer einem „sie können sich auf der Anlage aufhalten“ keine weiteren Infos. Hier wären Hinweise zum gerade stattfindenden Lunch oder für kurze Spaziergänge hilfreich gewesen. Ansonsten bietet das Resort eine Vielzahl an Aktivitäten. Die Massagen haben ein super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und das Reiten war das Highlight fürs Kind.
