    The property was clean, very good and attentive staff.Professional …No complaints.The green garden is what I will always go back for..

    We loved the tranquility of the gardens and pools. We loved the fact that this property is a hidden gem in the center of sandton which made us feel like we were in the middle of a forest, and not a large city. The High Tea was a most memorable and delightful experience.

    It would've been better if we had a little tea and coffee station within our room.

    10IdaPosted on: 8-24-2024

    The hotel grounds are beautiful. They're an oasis in a busy city. The hotel is beautiful, well maintained with friendly, professional and capable staff. We felt looked after by people who couldn't do enough for you.

    heritage

    thought was booking a for 3 people as understood was a villa. Price is exhorbitant considering prices in JB. Besides, it was one king size bed and no twin bed suites in the whole hotel. We are a work colleagues and were forced to share a bed plus charged +€120 for an extra bed which insane!! Was a huge mistake to book at this hotel and was only black spot in our whole trip

    The staff was wonderful and very professional especially Yolanda , the environment was classical , the welcoming experience was priceless from the gate to the reception well coordinated - the interior architecture was unmatched very beautiful them . the staff provided first class service - I am well travelled and this experience was priceless .

    They should fire the chef I cook much better then him or her - I didn't enjoy the food . I expected a jaccuzi bath?

    Staff & hospitality

    The food at the restaurants (Qunu & Terrace) was disappointing especially in regards to dietary requirements/ allergies

    10ChristinePosted on: 11-29-2023

    The hotel is gorgeous and the staff excellent. It was more formal then other hotels we stayed in and the staff were in the main very friendly.

    I booked two suites with garden terraces. Our friends terrace was very pleasant but our was terrible. We would not have sat out because we were looking straight at a large broken manhole and pieces of concrete that were just lying against the wall

    10XolilePosted on: 11-9-2023

    The elegance of the hotel. The history of the hotel. Everything is beautiful & loved the African themed deco. The meals were glorious! I enjoyed the afternoon tea, Faith hosted us for it & she was amazing

    Absolutely nothing

    The food is not worth the price.Wont gi back for the food. It's ridiculous priced for South Africa.

    10PaulPosted on: 3-6-2023

    the staff are very slick and professional. they were wonderful from start to finish. the hotel is beautiful and the rooms supercomfortable.

    9MakhanyaPosted on: 11-25-2022

    Good environment, I was only staying for a night so I don't have much to say. I'll visit the restaurant with my whole family for special occasion because I like the area. The rooms are perfect but I like traveling so compare to want I've seen so far some of my hotel matches this one and but some are far better but it's different countries. I don't like the TV set. Breakfast was amazing and dinner too

    10GwebuPosted on: 3-4-2025
