Arrived at the hotel early morning after a long trip from Austin, TX and were pleasantly surprised that the hotel had a room ready for us and we were offered a wonderful breakfast with both made to order and buffet options, mimosas and coffee. Wonderful way to start our trip. The room was huge, well appointed, and very comfortable with a beautiful deck overlooking the garden. The hotel was quiet, beautiful, and very clean. Drinks in the piano bar were great and the dinner was amazing. I had a carpaccio trio of warthog, ostrich, and springbok that was stellar with the warthog exceeding expectations. The service was outstanding, location perfect for the start of our trip, and all of the staff were very kind, helpful, and a pleasure.

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!

Overnight stay between the Blue Train and an up country safari. Comfortable rooms with a pleasant garden view. Steak for dinner was a joy and the breakfast before heading to the airport was delicious. Very good staff.

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).
