Guest Reviews

• Modibedi (10/5): - Host treated us good enjoyed it there
• Tyran (1/5): - . .
• Loscar (10/5): -
• Lutendo (10/5): Amazing - The look and the view of Sandton Not much think it could do with a tv in the lounge
• Waseh Yousufi (9/5): Good value for money - Amazing views! You're getting a massive house for a very low price!! Will definitely visit again Some rooms did stink a bit, i guess due to dirty carpets and sheets
• Lebo (5/5): - The clean pool..breakfast by Phindi was amazing Poor hygiene; uncomfortable mattresses and couches
• Mxolisi (10/5): - the house was very peaceful and uplifting considering the fact that it is on a mountain top it ignites in one a feel of being on top of the world looking down on everything that surrounds the place, along with a pool blessed with beautiful views to enjoy choosing the correct space when looking for a breather is crucial because your surrounding influence your mood and i must say my choice had me in a pretty tranquil and complete mood, i felt whole because i had everything i needed and wanted.
• Stefan (1/5): -
• Carrol (6/5): The place was safe and we felt secure. The staff was very nice and helpful. The house just needs maintenance and better - The pool was great and also the braai area was lovely. The house a massive space The furniture is too old. Carpet got stains. Couches are too old. The whole house needs a revamp. The kettle and microwave didn’t work at times. There’s not enough lighting outside. The pool area is dark at night.

• Karsten (9/5): -
• Lihle (2/5): -
• Meladi (7/5): The views save the day - The views are amazing. The house is big and the layout is well thought out - pool and braai area. The property is neglected. You can see it used to be beautiful. The toilet seats are worn. Paint is peeling. The carpets need replacing. The bed linen and towels are old. They don’t have surplus towels. We had to wait for them to be dried after the previous guests stay. Get white linen. Get new towels. The wooden windows and doors need maintenance. They don’t close properly. Sofas are old. Chair in the study is broken. Desk is wobbly.
• Boitshoko (8/5): Very nice, enjoyed our stay there. - It was spacious with a very nice view. The carpets in the bedrooms, if they can be changed to tile. Also the couches looked old. Can the pool also have warm water for when the weather is a bit chilly.
• Arthur (8/5): -
• Glynnis (7/5): -
• sihle (8/5): - Space of the house and the staff was friendly Front door doesn't lock, there's no television the bush in the yard need to be cut
• Nalliet (10/5): - ☺️☺️ we liked everything about the place but the view exptional 😍 The walking distance from the gate
• Jullian Barnes (9/5): - No wall heating, small old fire place in a big house mansion... 🤪🙌
• Gubics (10/5): Excelent - Big property, very clean and private It is a cold house
• Sethabile (10/5): - The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset.Bedrooms were spacious. I was disappointed to find the pool wasn’t as clean as expected. bedrooms were tidy, the bedding didn’t feel luxurious or like something you'd expect at a Villa/hotel.Views for africa didn’t have a Television.
• Red Roses (10/5): Amazing - Spacious rooms and kitchen, 3 with attached bathrooms, 2 with direct access to the balcony. Amazing views from all over the house. Includes a study, pool and lovely garden as well as a separate braai area with toilet and seating space. Many interesting books to read. The host was very friendly and available whenever required. It was a bit cold and no heaters, but there was a fireplace.
• Short (7/5): Do yourself a favour - The size, grandeur and location It was cold. There is no heating and Josie is cold in winter
• Tidimalo (10/5): -
• Gumede (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lori (10/5): Exceptional - Its absolutely beautiful! The view over looking the city and tranquility. House is huge! Was just me and my son and we were certainly impressed. Dee was wonderful and accommodating and we stayed 2 days. We’ll be back! Some touch ups are needed . Couches are a bit old but everything was fine:)
• Jullian (10/5): Exceptional - Gorgeous big house Please fix the bottom gate entrance buzzer
• Zinhle (8/5): Overall, the place was awesome, I really enjoyed the spacious rooms and the fireplace - The Host Dee was by the gate waiting and working while waiting to give us a warm welcome. We were taken by a lady on a tour around the house and everything was as expected. They were readily available to assist when help was needed. The Fireplace was beautiful and bedrooms very spacious. Bathrooms were very clean. The fact that the bottom room en-suite didn't have hot water and that the toilet paper that was supplied didn't come as a full roll which resulted in toilet paper running out before we could finish our stay. The garden lawn in front of the pool was burnt by chemical I would think since I'm a Horticulturist, which didn't do justice to our poolside pictures. The top bedroom with a balcony the built-in wardrobe shelf was broken, and all bedroom wardrobes had no hangers. The bedroom with a King size bed (top floor) the toilet had no water coming in for flushing. Lastly the bedrooms with sliding doors ceased to close.
• James (9/5): Superb - The villa is in a nice place with a fantastic view of Johannesburg. The house is spacious, clean and very comfortable. Definitely a place to lodge at again in future. There was a power outage but the host responded and fixed the issue quickly.

• Monaheng (9/5): Superb -

• Thusi (9/5): Beautiful stay - The house is beautiful and very spacious, would love to go back again in summer to enjoy it fully
• Arthur (8/5): Value for money, and a great stay! - Beautiful and functional accomodation everything you need is there, very helpful and friendly host. Big rooms, beautiful bathrooms so much potential in the house and very functional and had enough kitchen ware for your needs. The living room couches seemed old and dirty so new couches in the living room would be great, also living room blinds are very old and dont function properly, there is no tv would be nice to have one in the living room, so it is very quite if you planning to be at the accomodation most of the time.. and the pools cleaning pump was not working other than that everything was great!
• Lyanne (10/5): Blessed Beyond Expectations. - The location was well in our reach. I wanted a 60 year birthday that is very small an intimate and I received exactly that. The place was amazing and left all in awe of an amazing scenery. Although going in the heart of winter had a friends that could not resist the inviting swimming pool. The rooms were comfortable definitely a warm and homely atmosphere. We will definitely be back in the Summer for 2 nights not one. Was very difficult to check out as we just felt like staying. Thank you Wayne and Phindile for going the extra mile for us. Must say we were favoured with a "Strawberry Moon" Honestly, there was nothing we did not like!
• Kamohelo (10/5): It was Great. - Facilities, Old School meets new school look, it was very spacious The Heating unit wasn’t working, it was extremely cold
• Josephina (10/5): The best place to be your home away from home - The house is so beautiful the picture are not doing justice the pool view and babaque area marvelous the cleanliness wow bedrooms are comfortable it's like your home away from home Nothing
• Rashad (9/5): Very comfortable and value for money. - The staff on site were very friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you. None to comment on.
• As (4/5): I will not recommend it to anyone - It’s very spacious with big rooms that can accommodate a family of 10 or more. There is a fireplace. It has a big yard with a swimming pool. The pictures posted on Booking.com are not what you see when you get there. The house is dirty, furniture very old and not properly maintained. There was a lot of dust and spider webs in the cupboard and toilets. Smelly, especially smell of urine. Curtains are old and falling apart. This made challenging for me as I prefer sleeping in a totally dark room. There is no intercom and this made very difficult to allow visitors or food delivery service to come through. I had to walk to the gates which are far away from the house. There are tenants living within the same facility and parking was terrible as they park at the same place as the guests. I needed to move my car and friends’ cars a few times to accommodate the tenants. Tenants were noisy and you could hear them chatting loudly.
• Modibedi (10/5): My stay was very pleasant - The views The property itself Spacious Nothing
• Jean-pierre (9/5): Superb -
• Rolland (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (1/5): Bad - Thee place was filthy. Pool filter not working Nothing
• Graham (10/5): Exceptional -
• Muhammad (7/5): Good -
• Frampton (8/5): A lovely propety with fantastic views and a wonderful host on site. - The location was very nice with amazing views of South Africa. It was situated in a secure gated area making me and my family feel incredibly safe during our stay. Our host Dennis was amazing and did so much to ensure we had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend it to others. The only downside was the multiple wasp nest infestations around the doors and windows of the villa, however the host Dennis did everything he could to remove them and ensure we had a comfortable stay.
• Rachel (10/5): Absolutely enjoyed our stay 100%. - The House is absolutely gorgeous. we went there as a group of 10 people. we were all accommodated . its more spacious. The pictures in this website doesn’t do it justice . i loved the fact that we were able to cook for ourselves just like home . Absolutely enjoyed ! please sort out your refrigerators and more cutlery will be a good idea ,especially cooking facilities.
• Blessed (10/5): Exceptional - The energy around the place is amazing. You get your thinking time.
• Katishi (10/5): I am definitely coming back - I called the host and he kindly handed us the keys There was no Tv
• Dlamini (10/5): Perfect holiday stay! - We had the best time, it was perfect! More spacious than in the photos and very comfortable. We lacked nothing, the house had everything we could possibly want. Great place to enjoy with friends, each bedroom had its own bathroom and because it’s such a grand space it offered privacy for everyone in their own space. The house is clean clean bedroom linen and clean bathrooms clean spaces with clean towels offered for the entire stay. We stayed for 3 nights so we had enough towels provided by the property. Load-shedding wasn’t a big issue, the property provides whatever you may need. We enjoyed the pool, the braai area, we enjoyed the lounge and fireplace. We had homemade meals that we made for ourselves and the kitchen has everything so no need to carry anything. Large fridge and freezer , large oven and the large stove is gas powered. It’s a beautiful home and everything just came with so much space! Perfect, perfect stay! Nothing.
• Sheriff (10/5): Exceptional - Dennis is a good host 👌 views for Africa as the name depicts its simply a home away from home 🏡
• Mrs (9/5): Better than expected 👌 - Beautiful house, better than it looks in thea pictures, help always at handy from Dennis and Dumi, property centrally located to many places. Property owner Wayne was very responsive from start to finish. Was dusty in places, due to its size I suppose.
• Manana (9/5): Superb - The house was massive, could accommodate large family which so much room for everyone. It needs a bit of small maintenance in some spaces due to wear and tear, otherwise lovely place

• Mkhwanazi (10/5): What a wonderful stay we had the staff was very welcoming - The view is amazing at night and the house is very warm and also the pool was very clean The dishwasher kept on leaking
• Luvuyo (9/5): It was a good stay and the host was great -
• Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
• Sarah (2/5): Very Disappointing, we would not recommend this property - This property has potential if it was maintained and run properly The place was VERY run down and was in need of a lot of maintenance, example the paint was peeling and carpet were badly stained. The heater and underfloor heating didn't work. When we used the dish washer in flooded the kitchen. There was not enough crockery and cutlery for 8 people despite being a 10 sleeper house, in fact some crockery went "missing" while we were there. We were told we had the whole premises to ourselves yet there were people in the staff living areas having a drunken party night one and had another gathering on OUR patio on day 2 and we had to ask them to leave. In short we felt unsatisfied and unsafe and would not recommend the property.
