A beautiful oasis in the outskirts of Johannesburg. The rooms have elegant interiors and the people working there are extremely dedicated and friendly. Impeccable service. Last but not least, the food is just amazing. Kudos to Chef Nicolas, who is not only a magician but a true artist!

We really appreciated the boutique and quirky ambience of the hotel. Clearly the hotel has grown organically and the layout is a little complex which is interesting to uncover. Each space is full of character and very comfortable. Staff are charming and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. We stayed in the Pool Villa one night which we loved, due to a leak we were moved to the Madiba Suite for our second night which has a huge private deck. Both suites were lovely, comfortable and well designed. Spa treatments were very good. We would happily stay again and recommend.

The Residence is a fantastic accommodation venue that provided every luxury to our short Johannesburg visit. The staff are so friendly and willing to help. Facilities are great and the highlight is the restaurant where the food was exemplary. It is in a very secure location with large outdoor garden and deck including a fire pit for the cool evenings.

The perfect place to stay in Johannesburg I discovered this hotel motel than 10 years ago by accident when my flight was canceled and been keeping staying there since. Super cozy place all rooms are huge with terrasses open fire place everywhere super friendly and efficient staff. I never thought of looking at another place to stay since my first stay.

We headed here after a disappointing night at the Westcliff. What a difference! The atmosphere was so relaxed, the staff were charming, and the food was great. There were so many beautiful places to sit and relax, and the gym was great as well. A great place to overnight in Johannesburg.

My husband & I stayed here for 2 nights before flying back to Vancouver. We loved everything about this beautiful 5 star boutique hotel ! The food, pools, spacious bedrooms , design, and friendly staff. The attention to detail is excellent. The staff at front desk helped me with a local phone call to a friend in Jo'burg that did not work on my mobile phone. Thank you!
