What a great place and outstanding staff. They let me stay in my room until 5pm when I left for my flight. I was sitting by the pool when a lovely man asked if I wanted lunch but I wasn't that hungry. He then offered me a snack. Yes! He made me a chicken salad sandwich and chips. I felt like royalty.

Thanks to the driver who picked me up at the airport at 3am after a six hour delay in my flight! Despite the delay she was friendly and happy to help out. The hotel is really close to the airport, but not in the flight path, so there is no noise. The rooms are beautifully styled and the food was really nice. All the staff were most helpful. I will need to come back to try the spa another time (-;

Lovely little hotel with welcoming staff and a large, clean bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived as during the drive to the hotel we were a little concerned about the location but on arrival very impressed with what we found. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty with a good choice given how small the hotel/restaurant is. The only thing to consider is that it is away from Jo'burg centre so whilst very handy for the airport, it would be difficult to go in to the city to explore depending on flight times. Also, the area is not somewhere you felt you could walk around to explore other restaurants - not because it felt unsafe but because it didn't feel there was anything to see close by.

Excellent boutique hotel. Spacious room, quiet & serene. Tons of ambiance! Excellent food. Owners have a personal touch & very hands on in the business.

Staff are very friendly, location is ok, 30 minutes from the airport. Rooms are nice and well serviced. But it’s way way overpriced for what it is. Our stay was booked as an add on to an African Safari tour. I have travelled to over 50 countries and stayed in some 5 star hotels and resorts, this is not one of them. To pay $500-$600 AU a night for these rooms is ludicrous. Rooms are not large, only average furnishings and fittings. You will get a lot better value for money staying at suite at a Hilton, Marriott or Hyatt. For similar money or even less you will get a two room suite in Johannesburg.
