🌿✨ A Guest Experience We’re So Happy to Share! ✨🌿

We absolutely love hearing that our guests have enjoyed their time with us — and Bernice’s wonderful Google review truly made our day! ❤️

From the beautiful trees and peaceful “forest escape” feeling, to the warm welcome from our team, her stay at Shangri-La Country Hotel & Spa was filled with memorable moments.

Bernice and her boyfriend enjoyed the privacy of one of our new blockhouse Deluxe Rooms, made the most of our activities including putt-putt, tennis and volleyball, and experienced our beautiful dining areas and exceptional service.

And a special mention to Chef Kwena, whose food earned a very special compliment: “honestly 5-star!” 👨‍🍳✨

Thank you, Bernice, for choosing Shangri-La, for sharing your beautiful photos with us, and for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re delighted you had a memorable stay — and we’ll be thrilled to welcome you back! 💚
