What a fantastic find this hotel was, just 30 minutes from Johannesburg airport. This hotel is well worth the 5 start rating and the service was excellent from our pick up from the airport to our return. Exceptionally good value. We would definitely recommend to other travellers.

Unfortunately I was left very disappointed.
- The room phone was faulty and I needed to walk to reception to get it attended to.
- The AC power plug by the desk was not working so I needed to run my cable across the floor.
- The irrigation system outside was not connected properly and spraying the patio and making a noise. The first request to repair went ignored and took a second request for someone to come repair, some 2 hrs later.
- Microwave was faulty and was told that I would not be able to use it! No offer to replace or fix.
- Ordered room service at 6.45pm. At 8pm nothing had arrived and I called reception. 2 min later a plate of ice cold food arrived. Sending it back, 25min later, I was then called informing me that they had run out of stock of that item. Chose a new meal which then arrived at 8.30pm, almost 2hrs after my initial order.
- Upon checkout, I was billed for that same meal twice!
- On advising the check out assistant of my disappointing stay, no apology of any sort, nor even acknowledgement of the issues was offered. It was clear that no training had been provided on how to deal with these situations.

This is a great boutique hotel. Rooms are roomy and extremely comfortable, spa and sauna in room, grounds are spectacular, excellent Resturant with indoor or outdoor seating, and a wonderful well trained staff. Micheal on piano really is exceptional and sets a wonderful mood for dinning and lounge area.

The property is in a nice area and seems to have been nice years back.My experience (sept 14-17 2022) a bit of a nightmare.I booked one of the best rooms with a private jacuzzi.Room was stuffy and dusty.Furniture and decor is out dated and the So called private Jacuzzi didnt even work at all.The front desk staff has no Clue whats going on in the hotel and taking your grievances to them is a complete waste of time.This is just an average hotel which seems to have been great way back ,but now is just an average dumo not worthy to be called a luxury hotel.Was promised a refund for a night,but once i got back to my overseas destination,no one seemed to care and contacting them in anyway is a complete waste of time ,as no one ever calls,emails or contacts you back.Disgraceful how it can even call itself a 5 star hotel.Buyer Beware!!Dont believe all you see on their website..I gues those are the pictures from its early years.The place is stuffy and Musty .Most appliances in the rooms are rusty and as for the So called Jacuzzis..They dont work AND havent worked in a Long time(As i was told by the 5th WAITER who was sent to my room to "act"like he was fixing it.What a farce of a place..Nothing but a Bad experience here both from the hotel and the staff and management.

Great hotel. Only complaints were that the suite’s hot tub bubbles were not working / broken and they seemed to be leaving it broken vs plan to fix it when I asked about it. Also for some reason the staff would take away the complimentary large bottled water in the room during turndowns before I was done with it and then not replace it until the following afternoon.

This is an amazing boutique hotel. It is one of a kind! We felt like we were staying in someone's home. The staff is friendly but very respectful of your space, they get to know you and anticipate your every want. The hotel is warm and inviting and has many different rooms where you can relax, have coffee or a drink, sit by the fireplace, sit in a sunroom, sit by the pool, etc. The rooms are clean and quiet, the bed is comfortable with beautiful linens, the bathroom was a bit small in our room but had all the necessities. The breakfast they offered had something for everyone and the food selections for other meals was varied. An extraordinarily and comfortable experience. You would not be disappointed if you choose this hotel.

Fabulous hotel! All the staff were friendly and so attentive. We stayed for two days without leaving the hotel and it was treat after treat. We booked a suite and enjoyed our balcony with jacuzzi. Bathroom was large and very beautifully presented. Spa treatments (body scrub and hot stone massage) were wonderful. Breakfast buffet was of finest quality and you could choose from a hot menu too. We also enjoyed our casual lunch and dinner and I thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality. Loved having a fridge with complimentary drinks and fresh milk for tea. Lots of beautifully furnished lounges to sit in and an amazing fishpond. Didn’t use the small gym but it had a good range of equipment. Everything has been thought of. Can’t wait to go back!

Stayed in the Presidential Suite, what could possibly be not to like? This hotel is a hidden gem in a very nice area of Johannesburg. Staff is fantastic, restaurant is excellent. Really did not want to leave the property... Will come back next time in South Africa.

Loved the old house feel complete with sitting rooms that opened into the back garden
2.5
No wonder it is the number 1 boutique hotel in Joburg. Impeccable property, incredible service and a five star restaurant to boot. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else while in Johannesburg. Special thank you to assistant manager Moses and the incredible chef. But all of the staff is amazing.
2.5
We have travelled the world and stayed in many fine hotels but this is the first hotel that we were awed by. Everything was wonderful. We wish that it was in Europe or somewhere closer to North America so that we could come back again but Johannesburg is too far for us to return to. it is an incredible place to stay and the neighbourhood is very affluent and safe. If there was an option of giving it a ranking above 5 we would.

Absolutely beautiful and very unique. The spa and dining area are beautiful and very relaxing.
