We spent one afternoon and night at Aberdare CC, a stop between parks. The grounds and view are quite beautiful, we did not utilize any of the amenities (pool, tennis). The facility is quite expansive and like many of the older colonial accommodations one can encounter, a little worn here and there but quite acceptable if not nostalgic. Our cabin/bungalow was quite spacious with a nice bath/shower, sitting area with working fireplace and comfortable bed. When we arrived there was quite a large crowd of tour groups (think cruise) for lunch service (buffet). However they must have been there for just a lunch stop as our other meals were quite reserved with a great deal less folks. So, if you need a stopover you should consider Aberdare CC.

“Comfortable stay”

We were plesantly greeted by singers and with optional donation they invited you to dance with them. We stayed in duplexes. There were many optional add-on options such as onsite or offsite game drives or golfing. Driving in or walking along the grounds we saw warthogs, deer, peacocks, zebras, di… more

We were plesantly greeted by singers and with optional donation they invited you to dance with them. We stayed in duplexes. There were many optional add-on options such as onsite or offsite game drives or golfing. Driving in or walking along the grounds we saw warthogs, deer, peacocks, zebras, dik-dik and antelopes. The outdoor pool was too cool to try. It was a nice surprise to get a hot water bag at the evening turn-down service.

“The Grounds Are Beautiful!”

The first impression of Aberdare Country Club was the grounds are absolutely gorgeous! The second impression was the reception staff were not very friendly or welcoming. This wasn't a one off because when I went back to as for a hair dryer they seemed irritated. The room was dated and there was … more

The first impression of Aberdare Country Club was the grounds are absolutely gorgeous! The second impression was the reception staff were not very friendly or welcoming. This wasn't a one off because when I went back to as for a hair dryer they seemed irritated. The room was dated and there was mold in one of the cupboards but the Main Building was very nice. The wait staff in the restaurant were wonderful though and the food was very good! Just 3 stars because of not feeling very welcome.

“Colonial Resort set in amazing gardens”

A beautiful old colonial home which has been turned into a resort. The main original building and the cottages are lovely & have the potential to be something special. However, the furnishings and furniture are rather grubby and in need of replacement and cleaning. The drapes and net curtains in our cottage were dirty, coming off the track & the chair coverings were grubby. The food is buffet which was fair. Be aware the cottages are set on a hill and there are many steps. The nature walk was gentle & very interesting. You do get close to the animals. Francis was informative and very knowledgeable. He was a delight to spend a couple of hours with and very easy to chat to. The grounds are very beautiful and well cared for. The views are lovely. There are noisey peacocks so be prepared, but there are also dainty bush bucks which graze around the cottages. You can have the fire lit in your room to keep warm.
