Rooms were warm and comfortable for winter, there was a generator so we could at least watch TV and the breakfast the next morning was delicious.

We had dinner and breakfast which were both balanced and delicious.

Friendly and warm breakfast service accompanied by a stellar meal the next morning completed another awesome stay at this venue.

but the fillet stir fry we were given was delicious, with a very nice salad.

Warm welcome at Reception, most comfortable rooms, lovely gardens and surrounds and excellent breakfast.

Breakfast good

Suggestion - don't make it compulsory to have 200 characters in this field.

As a business destination it ticks all the boxes, the breakfast was particularly good.

Wifi was very good, and breakfast offered pretty much everything you could ask for.

The rest of the service was fine with bed and breakfast is highly recommended.

The restaurant staff were fantastic, taking into account our dietaries, and served us a delicious meal.

Maybe two or three options for supper would be great 
2. for the drinks maybe you can incorporate a voucher idea instead of guest having to go fetch they own drinks especially during cold days - with the voucher at least you can hand it over to the person bringing your food up to also bring you drinks.

The room and double bed is small and cold.

The ‘chapel’ - should have the roller blinds to keep out the wind / cold.

It was hot and I could not keep my water cold.

For supper, over the weekends, how about cold, light finger supper, to to nibble on, instead of going all the way to town to grab something to eat

The bathroom floor was so cold I couldn't stand on it for longer than a minute - put a mat down maybe??

Coming in from the cold someone thought about exactly that.

I had Chicken curry, and could barely eat it, was way too hot, no choices given if you prefer it hot or not
Breakfast was a bit disorganised, asking for hot milk for a coffee, took about 10 minutes, by then the coffee was already cold.

What a pleasure to enjoy the old fashioned welcome to a lovely site and garden in the forest,

Amazing and awesome place in the middle of this industrial town.

The Haggards Hilldrop is near these landmarks: Fort Amiel, Schuinshoogte Battlefield, Victorian Theatres, Simply You, Munro Art Gallery Vulintaba, Newcastle Town Hall, Newcastle Armoury, iPhiva Tours and Hüttenpark

The ambience was awesome, staff were friendly.

Dinner was in a room with two others present, which made for a fairly depressing atmosphere.

best stay in Newcastle.a quiet setting with peaceful atmosphere.

Its just beautiful and has a calming atmosphere.

The room was very spacious with modern decor, clean white linen, and with all the amenities required for a business trip.

Surroundings good, security good, upkeeping of venue good.

The beautifully tranquil and extremely well maintained surroundings, the exquisite and spotless rooms, the  professional and friendly staff, not to mention and best of all, some of the best meals I've had prepared for me, will no doubt, surpass the expectations of any well seasoned traveller, or just someone / couple looking for short and well deserved getaway.

Our family unit was spacious and well furnished with two bedrooms and a kitchenette.

This was really an elegant stay at a truly remrkable establishment!

Clean with nice gardens and surroundings.

Has nice pool with comfortable surroundings and 'honesty' bar.

It was spacious and clean with nice décor.

There wasn't a door separating the bedroom from the bathroom so you could hear everything the other person was doing in the bathroom.

I was in a rear(forest) facing room - the room was in a need of some upkeep - for example large crack in basin - stable doors to toilet /shower was damaged/verge of pulling apart - large gaps in the door-to-outside and gaps between window and wal let a draft in - view out the window was of an untidy bamboo forest - in need of cleanup - this was just as well OK because it blocked the main road which was quite loud especially in the wee hours of night and morning.

Careful must be taken ,especially when opening the glass door,because I saw a snake just infront of the glass door Many thanks to you all ,especially the lady who was cleaning my room.

Though the saloon style bathrooms doors a bit quirky.

The lighting was poor and there was no closing door between the bed and the toilet.

However I would have preferred closed bathroom doors and not the stable door between the bedroom and bathroom.

When driving through the gates of Haggards, I thought I was in a Harry Potter Movie (the front gate is beautiful)
I would recommend this establishment to anyone travelling to Newcastle.

though I was travelling late I was guided to the place with patience and understanding.

Cycle Tour / Dad's Tour 2016, Fantastic hospitality and stay.

Stayed at Haggards en-route to Durban on our Cycle Tour - great accommodation, good food and awesome staff that are willing to make their guests feel at home.

I liked the new girl, she was fun and took me on a tour of the place when I got there.

Newcastle is a nice town although not really on the tourist route - most of the guests were single business men -

Two minor nitpicks though: the walls were apparently quite thin because we heard our neighbors babbling away well into the night, then unfortunately one of the aircons just gave up.

In terms of toiletries you get a tiny soap and shampoo fixed onto the wall - thats it!

Going from 34 degrees to 2 degrees with heavy rain and snow resulted in our car slipping on black ice, hitting a dirt wall and landing on its side.

The shower in room 6 had a raised plastic base that had loosened from the wall.

TV is so high up on the wall you strain your neck trying to watch.

food is too cliché, normal, usual and below standard especial for buffet .

Was a pleasant stay, good value for money, nice breakfat, reception staff very efficent,
Breakfast was nice except had to wait for refills of food.because there was a function on we found waitress could not accomodated the lounge for hotel staff, waited for service to order and receive drinks

The buffet breakfast is always great and has a wide verity of foods on offer.

Breakfast was ok in the main Grill restaurant,

warm & friendly staff; excellent service at dinner & breakfast; superb food quality; absolutely cosy, neat & tidy rooms & amenities for 24 hrs.

Loved the take away breakfast, was very convenient because we had to leave at the crack of dawn.

Blackrock was awesome, The room was super clean nicely decorated and what I like the most is that I had a Frigde on my room
The staff members were professional and pleasant, and the breakfast was Delicious

The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very helpfull.

The Mid city Grill with the outstanding breakfast.

Rooms were clean and breakfast was on point.

The breakfast menu provides a variety and is scrumptious .

The buffet meals in the Mid City Grill are better than most hotel buffets and the traveller might be interested in sampling some typically African dishes which are often on offer.

Whoever is in charge of your client handling skills needs a promotion.

Ensure that USB charging ports work and that WIFI is UNLIMITED.

As off today no one got back to me and they still have my card.

When I checked in, I paid upfront (was charged more than I was quoted) and since I paid in full, I expected value for my stay
1 Comfortable rooms
2 Peaceful sleep
3 No disruptions 
4 No invasions
5 No smoking

I got 20% of my expected (minimal) value, let alone only being stocked with 2 towels (not bathsheets, just towels) for a 4 sleeping family room.

you charge a burger buffet R165 where as you have the same burger on your ordering menu for R70 no difference the quality is actually very poor.

Just because I arrived on a motorcycle does not give you the right to charge upfront!

but never a smile, never a word of welcome, just a warning that any other costs I incurred would be charged to my credit card.

I was given an upgrade to my room  at no extra charge .

The speedpoints (credit cards) at the bar were not connected.

The Garden Court Blackrock Newcastle is near these landmarks: Fort Amiel, Schuinshoogte Battlefield, Victorian Theatres, Simply You, Munro Art Gallery Vulintaba, Newcastle Town Hall, Newcastle Armoury, iPhiva Tours and Hüttenpark

I had the pleasure of visiting the Shebeen pub last fri evening with a few friends .the place is a true authentic irish pub.the owner came to our table for a few minutes.his charm and Irish wit really makes the place electric.

I Was very happy with my stay at BlackRock - as always they are very efficient and the environment is excellent, clean and relaxing.

I would like to thank Garden Court Blackrock Newcastle for the opportunity to Stay at the hotel in a VIP style.

Good lights,not too bright and not too dark.

My check-out was almost clinical, and no apology, nor an explanation was offered to me.

I loved my stay there :) The scenery, environment and everything else was up to standard.

Comfortable and tranquil environment, inside the rooms and outside.

Exquisite hotel in a very good location.I like the fact that you are next to the Mall.Please check your GPS coordinates, they are misleading.I like the fact that someone from reception pro-actively called me.

the hotel service and room is excellent, also service, cleanliness, location, sleep quality, parking is available and very safe with 24 hour security, toilets are , I am very happy with the entire environment particularly with friendly staff

but the hotel manage to keep my stay as comfortable and fun as possible , the room was good enough and much relaxing after a long day of work and back to back meetings, as for the entertainment its was exquisite much fun and good for a person my age, I really enjoyed my stay.

The room allocated was a recent refurbished room and everything was spot on.

Its os well build and beautiful design and yet very economic.

That on it's own made my stay at Garden Court exciting.

Service excellent, friendly, warm and professional staff, with good ambience.

Tanks can be installed to feed the sewage systems.

King rooms need to be cleaned & upgraded 
Floor tiles broken
Toilets smell of urine & smell is transferred into the room
Basins don’t drain
Food on buffet was cold
Suites are clean 
Poor value for money

Rude staff upon arrival and they didn't have a smoking room

but the carpets there too was stained and filthy.

awkward with drunken people walking around and a lot of smoking smells everywhere.

Room 303 carpets very filthy , whilst showering water stops and mostly cold water coming out of shower.

The toiletries are at its minimum just one little bath soap and wash , shower had a awful smell .

For breakfast, on all the sausages, the one with periperi was fresh the rest was stale, I dished them

Rooms to the left of reception are quiet and do not smell smoke in the corridor!

I was in room 111, please just check the drainage system of the bathroom hand basin

the pillows had a funny smell making it difficult to sleep

but no one assisted, it was disgusting especially when brushing teeth as the waiter was not draining, floating it was disgusting

These guests then smoked in their room which filtered through to our room and filled our room with smoke.

He was out on a mine and due to the breakdown was filthy dirty, tired and fed up.

The other part leading to dinning hall people smoke a lot in this area and is very difficult to walk through.

> The tiles in the shower were not scrubbed properly as there was black residue in the corners that was floating around once it came in contact with the water.

We booked online on route to Newscastle as a last minute stay over - literally 1 hour before we arrived.

I do realize that the hotel cannot predict when there will be no water,

Lovely.. Only issue was room 114..could hear water flowing everytime other guests used their bath/toilet.

After a shower I nearly slipped and fell due to the water on the tiles.

It was hot when i arrived and i was welcomed with a cold water mixed with lemon.

Only one bottle of water offered for 5 day stay.

but the hot water in the shower ran out on me several times.

Rooms are looking old - showers need more water pressure or modern shower heads.

There is no bottle water in the rooms, it took 20minutes to get someone to bring us some.

The sink in the bathroom not draining water properly, I reported this

Bottled water in the rooms would have  been nice

I would like to have a bar fridge in the room for convenience sake and a bottle of water.

He made me to have a pleasant sleep by making sure I have three bottles of water to drink before I went to bed because they were no courtesy bottles at the time.

It is a
hidden gem in a tranquil environment with vast spaces and a forest like garden.

The unit appeared to be recently renovated and the decor was warm and inviting.

The room was well decorated and comfortable,

Their new Tuscan styled rooms make you feel like a king, opulent and spoilt, a place to relax in the tranquil gardens and be comforted by the whisteling pine trees.

The room was spacious (allowing me to do my yoga) and nicely furnished.

The guest house is run very professionally by its owners and is located on the outskirts of town in a rural environment yet close to a large mall in case one runs out of toothpaste or climbing equipment.

I often stay at the farmhouse lodge and must say that the service I receive is always excellent and the atmosphere is pleasant.

The rooms were well maintained and pleasing to the eye.

A charming atmosphere where I can relax after a day with customers.

The Lavender room was superbly furnished, spacious and inviting.

The rooms and bathroom facilities are clean, well maintained and tastefully decorated.

Rooms are spacious inviting and warm, sanitary facilities were more that satisfactory.

The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and the gardens are very pretty and tranquil. The food is outstanding (our evening meal was absolutely delicious!!)

It is a great  stop over en route from the Lowveld to KZN.

We were greeted immediately at reception with a smile and guided to our room, even offered a free newspaper and some suggestions on places to have supper.

We woke up at 06h00 in the morning without water.

Also some form of heater in the bathroom as it was very cold on 31 August.

Two rooms did not have showers, only bathtubs with a handheld shower.

Some rooms have shower and some bath/shower combination, state your preference.

If I showered in that water I would certainly have come out of the shower more dirty than when I went in.

We enjoyed our stay, farmstyle (it's a real farm with traces of sewage stink - keeping the bathroom door closed does the trick).

The bath was a joke with very low water pressure and brownish coloured water.
