Below is my experience based on a one-night stay at the property.
My arrival experience: Warm welcome with a welcome drink before being escorted to the room.
What I loved: The countryside feel in Johannesburg and the fantastic internet connection making it an ideal place for business travellers.
What about the food: Good a la carte breakfast and dinner with attentive and friendly service.
What about the service: The service is better than most small boutique hotels I have stayed in South Africa. The staff are smiling and helpful, but also more well-trained than similar hotels in the country. Great attention to details with cookies in the room upon arrival and a snack for turn down service.
What about the rooms: Beautiful small rooms with flatscreen Tv, bathtub and separate shower. Complimentary mini-bar is a big plus as well as the complimentary, unlimited, high-speed internet access which, unfortunately, is rare in boutique hotels in South Africa.
Number of rooms: 15.
