After a long day or night’s travel to reach this idyllic destination, the last thing you need to think about is what’s in the fridge. Our staff will conduct a consultation prior to your arrival and stock your requested necessities for the first few meals; we will also stock the bedrooms with teas, bottled water and other items on request.

This will give you a bit of time to settle in and soak up the surroundings, as well as meet with the chefs to discuss the menus they’ll prepare during your stay. Please share with them any allergies, preferences or dislikes, so they can be sure to meet any dietary needs. If there are specific items you require, do let the chefs know and they can make arrangements to stock them for you.

We know you will enjoy the wonderful dishes the Crystal Springs kitchen creates using fresh local and imported ingredients; we aim to highlight local flavours with an international flair.
