If five-star places are for you, then you will love Fairlawns. If you like your stays to come with more than a bit of pretentiousness, then that is doubly true. Fairlawns, on the outskirts of Jo'burg, is majestic. Everything is overdone. It used to be a private estate. I read that it belonged to the former head of DeBeers. That shows. Each room is unique and themed. We stayed in the polo room with all decorations of horses and polo gear. The phrase "over the top" comes to mind. We had very mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, it is top tier in every respect. We are not adverse to nice places and five-star resorts. Fairlawns is every bit that. On the other hand, like an oversized diamond, there is lots of flash here and little understatement. Given the extreme poverty endemic to much of Africa, including neighborhoods less than a mile away, the whole presentation is a bit much. We were glad to be booked here and had a nice one-night stay. Complete with an excellent dinner. Though the next morning, we were also glad to leave.

Visiting The Fairlawns is like coming back to a home filled with family and friends. Thank you for making the anniversary with my wife so special and for going out of your way to make it memorable. Every detail was thought about and planned... the room, the bed and bath, the service... all exceptional. Thank you!

Loved the gardens and peaceful atmosphere. The food at the Amuse Bouche restaurant was incredible, and the chefs came to explain the substitutes they had made due to my dietary requirements.

This is a stunning g property. We had a beautiful hotel room. All the rooms are different. Excellent food as well. The following is my only complaint: Had a spa appointment for a hot stone massage. This was a very unfortunate experience. First of all, there were a couple of young “influencers” who were in the dressing room taking inappropriate photos of each other. I had to find a toilet to get changed in order to prevent t being part of their “photo shoots!” This should not be happening in a high-end spa. Then, the masseuse did not follow my direction. She seems upset that she had to do this massage. She proceeded to use her body weight, with a huge amount of pressure, on my lower back after I told her to use less pressure and use the hot stones. The hot stones were barely used. Her body weight on my lower back caused a fracture of my sacrum. I reported this to the concierge via email and never received a response. The property and food are fabulous, but avoid the spa!

Our travel agent booked us into Fairlawns for our last night in Johannesburg. It's a beautiful property; a true oasis in the norther suburbs. The staff could not have been nicer.

This is a beautiful location with incredible rooms and food. The spa is incredible and the setting simply brilliant. We loved the experience but overall a little more help with staff service is needed to make it exceptional...on our final day there was a function and we were rather abruptly moved to a new location and both nights we had drink at the bar and had to find staff to serve us....overall however this a great hotel
