From the welcome beverages to the bedside treat, we felt cared for every moment of our stay. The tour of the sanctuary allowed us to have an inside look into the life of Nelson Mandela. Each person at the sanctuary told us more about the beautiful history of his time there. We highly recommend a stay at the sanctuary to all who visit Johannesburg. The meals were exceptional and designed with a global perspective. Each dish has its own story. There is amazing variety. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/865b3699-4e32-4a0e-91be-67e10c546fa5-1758629733364.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e736d4f-03cb-44e5-82ba-e775dda107cb-1758629735537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46a872c1-0eeb-4007-86f0-0a3749f43621-1758629733636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0100a149-449e-47c8-852b-4825ae91f8cb-1758629734595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shekkola Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamye Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Upon arrival, the staff greeted us by saying, “Welcome Home”.

Best dining experience!!! ##### Janeen Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesca Nov 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My room was spacious, spotless, and spectacular. I'd corresponded with Tumi, the manager, prior to my visit. She was warm and welcoming as was the woman at the front desk who greeted me when I arrived. The breakfast, which is included, is a la carte. I ordered several things, thinking the portions would be small. They were not. Everything was delicious (yogurt and fruit, eggs benedict) and the coffee (I take it black, no cream or sugar) was super. My only criticism was in regards to the restaurant dinner. I ordered chicken tangine which were two thighs in a tangine sauce. The thighs had so many bones and such little meat that I thought they were actually pigeon. The sauce was mediocre. ##### Francesca Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter Feb 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMY Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### AMY Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Radisson Hotel Winnipeg Downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Radisson-Hotel-Winnipeg-Downtown.h524375.Hotel-Information) > > [Crabbe Mountain Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Central-Hainesville-Hotels-Crabbe-Mountain-Inn.h38650661.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-At-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h8403573.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Collingwood](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels.d11938.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aYVR-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-African-Pride-Melrose-Arch-Hotel.h915100.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn Sandton](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-Park-Inn-Sandton.h3629797.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Johannesburg O.R Tambo Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-InterContinental-Johannesburg-OR-Tambo-Airport.h664568.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near University of Alberta](https://www.expedia.ca/University-Of-Alberta-Hotels.0-l501029-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Grand-Okanagan-Resort.h11589.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ko Pha-ngan](https://www.expedia.ca/Ko-Pha-Ngan-Hotels.d6051159.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Southern Sun O.R Tambo](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-Southern-Sun-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h48843.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Changchun (CGQ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cgq/yvr/changchun-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Mohali (IXC) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ixc/del/chandigarh-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Cabatuan (ILO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/ilo/edmonton-to-iloilo) > > [Flights from Palma de Mallorca (PMI) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pmi/ibz/palma-de-mallorca-to-ibiza) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Lagos (LOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/los/vancouver-to-lagos) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/yul/london-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/mnl/edmonton-to-manila) ### Activities ### Packages > [Arizona](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/golf-vacations/204/Arizona)
