The minute I set foot in this hotel, I loved it so much that I booked another night. It’s luxurious in every way, yet somehow still homely and intimate. Every member of staff was not only kind and thoughtful in helping me with my bags and storage, accommodating last-minute requests, etc—but went above and beyond to ensure guest happiness. Everyone was incredible and deserves high praise, although I must give special thanks to the head of guest experience (Francine?). Best service I have ever seen, even relative to other 5-star properties. The food was superb…I particularly enjoyed the peri peri chicken, malva pudding, and watermelon chilli mocktail. I also loved this lavender/white chocolate drink they made with nondairy milk…ugh I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! I should also note how conveniently located it is—literally right by Rosebank Gautrain, with nearby shops, restaurants, etc. Thank you for a fabulous stay! This is the only place I wish to return when next in Johannesburg, and I passionately recommend this hotel to all.

Absolutely loved our stay! This boutique hotel was a true gem – stylish, cozy, and full of character. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The highlight was definitely the breakfast – fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious with something for everyone. Every morning felt like a treat! We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special, relaxing stay.

For us, this is one of the best apartments - if not the best ever - that we have stayed in anywhere in the world. Just the right place to kick the dust off your shoes after a road trip. Short distances to all stores and restaurants. If you need to, you can also relax by the pool. The breakfast (although we didn't book it with this stay) is fantastic. We will definitely end our next tours through the southern parts of Africa in one of these great apartments.
