The Willow Inn Benoni

Review by hotel critic

During my recent gourmet getaway at Willow Inn, I was pleasantly surprised by the culinary innovation and the inviting ambiance of the restaurant on the premises. As a wildlife conservationist used to roughing it in the bush, I was delighted to be treated to a gastronomic experience that rivaled any fine dining I've encountered in my travels.One morning, as breakfast was included in my accommodation, I strolled over to the restaurant. I was greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the inviting sight of a buffet spread that featured a variety of delectable options. While the breakfast was good, I found it to be slightly over-priced for what was offered. As a nature enthusiast, I would have appreciated more sustainable and locally sourced ingredients, aligning with my conservationist values.After a hearty meal, I ventured to the outdoor pool to relax, appreciating the tranquil ambiance and the opportunity to unwind amidst nature's beauty. The outdoor tennis courts also caught my eye, promising a fun-filled activity for guests seeking recreation.In the evening, I savored a drink at the on-site bar, reflecting on my day of exploration and indulgence. The friendly staff added to the welcoming atmosphere, making my dining experience all the more enjoyable.Although the overall standard of the accommodation was reasonable, I encountered a few minor inconveniences that detracted from an otherwise pleasant stay. Despite this, Willow Inn's commitment to providing guests with a culinary adventure in a serene setting makes it a noteworthy destination for those seeking a mix of comfort and gastronomic delight.
