James Duncan Geach's Review of Umngazi Food

1 How would you rate your overall experience?

Umngazi is just so special. Friendly hospitality, great service in a peaceful and tranquil environment.

Umngazi Food
Dear James Thank you for your amazing review of Umngazi Hotel and Spa. We are so happy to hear that you found the hospitality friendly and the service great. Umngazi is definitely a little piece of paradise tucked away in the Transkei and we just cannot wait to welcome you and your family back to us.
2 How would you rate the breakfast offerings?

What more could one want? Fruit juice, porridge, cereal selection, fresh and preserved fruit, nuts and seeds, cold meats, eggs to order with four or five hot accompliments. A selection of pastries, jams, marmalades and honey. Tea and coffee. All well prepared and displayed and above all delicious.

Nico and our team in the kitchen are all absolutely fantastic in the variety of food that they offer. As you mention, the selection is huge and you will definitely leave missing their scrumptious meals and tea eats.
3 How satisfied were you with your stay at Umngazi?

At Umngazi the only time you need to lift a finger is when you have a glass or a knife and fork in hand. Everything is done for you in a friendly and efficient manner. Umngazi is a true holiday experience.

Thank you for rating your stay with us as 5 stars.
4 How would you rate the lunch time offerings?

Lighter meals are served at lunch. Soup, salads, cold meats and hot snack type foods followed by two deserts. Menu changed daily. Most enjoyable.

Umngazi Food
We are so happy to hear that you found the lunch time offerings enjoyable.
5 How would you rate the dinner offerings?

The first thing we did each evening was photograph the menu and share it with friends and family and then read their envious views. Soups, starter, salad bar, choice of three mains and a vegetarian dish, two deserts, cheese board, tea and coffee. Every meal was a delight to the taste buds and the highlight of a beautiful day. The wine list is extensive and should be studied well in advance of your first dinner at Umngazi. We were privileged to enjoy wines from Bartinney. A real treat.

6 How would you rate the afternoon tea offerings?

Served shortly after lunch we did not partake daily. A ever changing selection of cakes and biscuits were served daily. Scrumptious.

Umngazi Food
Definitely a big selection of cakes and biscuits on offer - something sweet before that afternoon snooze. What more could one ask for? Thank you for your detailed review of the food offerings. We sincerely appreciate you taking the time making mouths water for our food.
