    Pros +

    • Its a gem of a property with the hotel and restaurant interspersed with trees and dappled sunlight. Its small, so there are no long walks and the staff are fantastic. I'm a seasoned world traveler with 'Gold for life' status at two international chains. It says a lot that I'll forgo those in favor of a boutique hotel. I have, and I will in the future.
    • The food throughout our stay was amazing. The staff were the best. The location our little sanctuary from the madness of Johannesburg. This is a wonderful place to stay if you need quiet space, no crowds, immaculate service and gourmet food for less than a Holiday Inn in America
    • The calm and green environment. Breakfast was amazing, the room was comfortable and the staff were so attentive and kind.

    Cons -

    • The pool feels overlooked and hadn't been cleaned in the morning, so we didn't fancy using it when we got there, which was a shame. The bed creaked, but was comfortable enough. At breakfast, the staff weren't as attentive as we'd have liked, as they seemed distracted by setting up for a large party for lunch. It wasn't clear from the staff what the breakfast offer included, e.g. self-serve area, ordering off menu.
    • The TV was shockingly inadequate - only 6 channels, all news channels! If we hadn't brought our own smart box to watch our own Netflix, the whole night would've been ruined
    • Staff were excellent.

    The location was great for our visit to friends in Sandton. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed lunch in the leafy courtyard.

    It's 5 star quality for sure! Except for the TV situation
