We booked this hotel for our son and his bride. They were absolutely taken aback by the level of service they received and how special they were made to feel. We were given early access to allow the bride to get ready and nothing was too much. The service was exceptional and the pool was exceptional according to them .

Unfortunately, we only had one night at this fantastic hotel. While the property itself is beautiful, what truly stands out is the people and the level of service — absolutely impeccable. The hotel is not located in the city center, which was actually a great advantage for us, as we were not planning to explore Johannesburg itself. Its location offers a simply breathtaking view of the surrounding area — the overall setting is truly charming. As we were on our honeymoon, we were welcomed with a special setup in our room, including sweets, flowers, and sparkling wine. It was simply unforgettable. The room is very spacious, with excellent bedding and pillows. The bathroom is also large, and the slippers are extremely comfortable — every detail is thoughtfully considered. We also visited the spa, which is outstanding, and in the evening we enjoyed a tasting menu dinner offered in partnership with Atlas Swift winery — a truly magical experience. Breakfast was another highlight: delicious and complete, with both buffet options and freshly prepared dishes. I tried the full South African breakfast and it was excellent. We will definitely choose to stay here again the next time we are in Johannesburg.

Charming hotel set on a cliffside. A real oasis in Johannesburg. Staff were wonderful. Rooms are very comfortable but a bit dated. Spa, gym and pool facilities are great. Have breakfast early in the morning. Beautiful view, and wonderful light.

From the minute we arrived we knew this hotel was spectacular. The staff could not have been nicer. They went above and beyond for us, even providing spring water because mineral water was too harsh for us. Our room was beautiful. The cleanliness was top notch. The wait staff, especially Anesu, who also recommended great shopping, and Thembi. We will definitely return

Had a wonderful trip. Amazing stuff, great accommodation with views and wonderful pool. Booked through hotels.com as the garden room I wanted “was not available for a family of 3” on the hotels website but it has ample space and definitely no issue. The welcome cupcakes and pastries were absolute deliciousness. The fruit basket was a great idea. However the plum had rot on it so maybe a pre check on checking in? I look forward to our return visit

I rarely write reviews but this hotel exceeded all our expectations. The views, dining options and pool are lovely. There is space to walk after dinner which is such a treat in Joburg. But most of all the staff was just fabulous. We had 2 separate 1 night stays in our lay over days in Joburg and the hotel kindly agreed to keep a bag for us so we don't have to take it on our ongoing journey. On arrival, they checked us in at 9 am and a lovely complimentary breakfast was waiting for us in the room ( I suspect this is based on availability but it was so much appreciated after 10 hour overnight flight). Once we returned for the second night stay we had our bag waiting for us already and exactly the same room with staff even remembering my husband's breakfast order. We have stayed in many places in Joburg but I would struggle to find any that come close to such excellent service.
