This place is pure perfection, with a sprinkle of customisation that makes each individual guest feel special. Kagiso was our waiter for lunch and supper and very attentive. We will be back again!!! ##### Bongi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shekkola Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Every aspect of our stay was intentionally welcoming. 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”. I have never received such a warm reception of hospitality by a hotel. The dinner, the rooms, the staff, the jazz brunch, and the tour, were amazing!! I am already planning my next stay. My only regret, is wishing I knew about the hotel sooner. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cb97b737-87f0-46ac-9a65-85cce4957562-1752938421388.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6399c539-0e15-4a9e-b508-b687e35da9ea-1752938421612.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/afa17ba1-767e-4f39-b717-ddd7be749281-1752938421204.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b062f542-b9e1-4545-9931-4a8c5de6312c-1752938421500.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jamye Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property with excellent and attentive staff.

I felt right at home. I would definitely recommend. The place is beautiful and very well made. I didn’t care for the dinner menu and the breakfast was served cold. I ordered pancakes and bacon. I would still recommend this lovely es. We celebrated our anniversary and they had some really nice for us when returning from dinner ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c63d51a3-ae88-4532-9925-c2773a9e6f8a-1751662086713.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82c7e708-d7dc-40e8-a85e-6a1064fb244e-1751662084403.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle B Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 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 #### SERGIO Dec 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel and the staff are amazing!
