I said the night for a layover. The rating on the door is rated 3 star out of 5 from South Africas rating on hotels. It's a quick place to recuperate and gather your thoughts. The British breakfast is mid and as an American beans dont belong on a plate but for a quick meal and morning energy it was worth eating. I think my review is simple for a one night stay
This is a perfect place to stay if you just need one night: shuttle to and from the airport, dinner on the property, free breakfast (you can get "breakfast pack to go" if leaving early), very nice comfortable room. The only issue is that you are not recommended going outside the property (walking, running) because the area is not quite safe. Taking Uber is the solution if you want to explore other places.
Great little place too stay for overnight transit for Joburg International airport. Great breakfast and very friendly staff, with every hour drop off in the mornings to the airport.
Staff relationship were awesome. All the staff are courteous, able to help to make stay enjoyable. Flexibility from management knowing one is resting between connecting flight. The airport shuttle service was very helpful. The driver was very professional.
I will definitely patronise and recommend the guest house.
Very comfortably stay.Lovely setting i.e. gardens,pool, able to walk around and enjoy the surrounds, staff friendly.Nice way to finish off my 3week stay in Sth Africa.
This was a great, inexpensive place to stay for an airport layover. It was easy to arrange transport from the airport to the guesthouse, and everything was on-time, with a nice packed breakfast for early departures.
The room was good, i got in late and just wanted a shower and sleep. Some tea bags would have been nice. Good breakfast and excellent shuttle service to and from the airport. Unbelievable price for a good, clean room, breakfast and shuttle service.
