“the stay is very private there are no hotel staff interuptions. the breakfast is tasty very well prepared.”

“An oasis in the Johannesburg area! The grounds are relaxing and like being in the country... and the location a 15 minute Gautrain from the airport could not be a better way to avoid Jozie traffic. Have been coming once or twice a year for the past 5 years! all the amenities (food, pools, gym, grounds) are great - and now the internet is too!”
