The rooms were very comfortable and the staff was warm & friendly. Since it is made up of several connected residences, the hallways/walkways could be quite cold in the winter, but the hot water in the bed helped (and the temperature in the rooms was fine).

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.

Voor onze safari naar Botswana zijn we hier 2 nachten geweest. We sliepen in de Pool villa, een mooie zitkamer,slaapkamer met inloopkast en primabadkamer met genoeg handdoeken , zeepjes enz. Een vriendelijke ontvangst. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid met veel keuzes zelfs oestrrs. Prinalunch op.het buiten terras en heerlijke diners met een uitgebreidde kaart. Een zeer goede keuken en vriendelijke bediening. Ook lekkere wijnen om uit te kiezen. Zeker een aanrader.

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!
