Guest Reviews
- Leigh (3/5): Unfortunately did not meet expectations - The one staff member I met and interacted with was friendly and contactable. The towels in my room were dirty, and the duvet cover did not close (buttons all broken off). There was no housekeeping, so neither of these issues were resolved until I contacted the staff member. This had to be done afterhours as I was at the office until late, making it all quite inconvenient. There was no one available for check out, even when I Whatsapp'ed the number, so I ended up just letting myself out and leaving the keys on the desk. I was told on arrival that they no longer do breakfast even though all of the check in forms clearly stated breakfast was part of the package. The tea station in the room didn't have milk, and the only water available was tap filled bottles in the mini fridge which is not ideal.
- Molly (8/5): - The place itself was beautiful just like in the pictures and the hostess were very friendly,they went all out on my request. The bedding was not so clean.
- Sihle (10/5): Great place. Quiet. Superb staff -
- Precious (8/5): - The room was beautiful and cosy. I wish I could have received the keys for the single garage cause it was closer to the passage to the room, but all was good.

- Andani (3/5): Beauty place bad hosting - Loved the property setup and facilities But I did not like the hospitality from the bigger lady the other host was much more polite. The big lady just gave us problems and complained about everything to the point that we were not comfortable with our stay, when we were packing our things into the uber she locked the gate when our last thing to pack in the car was our champagne that we had to knock on the gate for as she was trying to pocket it for herself, honestly I’m a social media influencer and will not recommend this place to anyone because of the one staff you need to keep a look out for

- Maud (9/5): -
- Kekeletso (8/5): - The staff was excellent, there was a beautiful lady there called beauty, such a breath of fresh air. The facility has such great potential. The food was good and the place has a lot of entertainment areas that I didn't get to explore because of the rain and my fatigue 😴. Nonetheless, one can go there and come back without needing to do anything else outside of the property. The gate key situation! Having to call every time I needed to get out was irritating, the first night there was no one on the property to assist so it was just a nightmare trying to find the relevant number phones because the numbers I had from booking.com and those provided in the room didn't help. I had a delivery outside and the guy was so angry with me for not coming quicker even though it wasn't my fault and I couldn't explain the situation. I had to go to other guest rooms to seek solutions (EMBARRASSING!!!). Thats only when I got the numbers of the right person. The second night was better, Beauty was there to assist but it wouldn't hurt to just provide guests with gate access. The facility looks like it was properly done, the idea is there but the upkeep is bad, the couch was full of stains and the walls needed fresh pain. I also don't get the concept of a black toilet (throws me off a bit because I can't see stains so I wouldn't know when it's dirty or not so I had to clean it myself for my own comfort)
- Nakin (10/5): - The place Is breathtaking ❤️the pictures don't fo it justice.the lady is such a nice person. I'd recommend a 100 times if I could There were no dust bins in the room
- Moshe (8/5): - Good
- Nomakha (5/5): Don’t bother booking this property. Nothing is worth your money, choose something else. - Central location Worst parking situation. Uber can’t come inside the property because there’s no space to park, have to walk out - inconvenient and not safe. You don’t have your own remote to the property - the staff has to open for you. You are told to be back before they sleep at 10pm, they have to open for you again when you return. This isn’t practical and can’t be controlling your guests like that, extremely odd! Staff isn’t friendly. Mediocre breakfast - wimpy serves a better breakfast. Room setup is mediocre for a bnb in Sandton.
- Katlego (8/5): - I enjoyed my stay, the host was good to us.
- Nomalanga (8/5): -
- Masango (4/5): -
- Angela (10/5): Lovely stay - The host was amazing, attentive, and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and done to our liking. The room is exactly like in the photos, the bed is extra comfortable.
- Jacques (1/5): Avoid 17 on Buffallo. Still no refund... - ..Online pics, but it was not as described. Dont be fooled by pics. See my google revie with sctual images.. Upon arrival, I had to wait outside in the rain . Upon entering, we were greeted by a dripping garage& stained walls. The receptionist, which was manning the premises solo told us she has the flue. Our suite, being the largest disappointed. Why pay the highest tariff and be drenched in the rain,having rain pouring in, no anti slip mats, broken infrastructure, no tv or netflix signal, no hanging space, old party baloons laying around, damaged cupboards,etc? Dont be fooled by the pics. We informed the solo worker we are leaving and cancelling, whereafter we had to ask repeatedly to open the garage door to go and seek alternative accomodation She would not open and insisted I speak to the boss over her phone. I told her we cannot risk staying there with soaking puddles , slipping hazards, no tv pleasure, no hanging space and potential health hazards. Eventuale she open and we left. We have not been refunded and will defenitely not recommend this venue. The boss mailed me, not acknowledging any failures or complaints.in stead rather argued. No thank you. NOT even worth 1 star
- Nozipho (9/5): - The receptionist lady Helen she was very sweet 😊
- Farisanani (10/5): It was amazing - Staff members beauty, hellen and Andile and the massage it was amazing
- Neo (10/5): -
- Nthabiseng (8/5): It was incredible. - The bed is so comfortable, safety and convenience. The Jaccuzi wasn’t working.
- Khensani (10/5): - Hellen was very friendly and receptive. She made our stay very easy. She always made sure that we get help in everything we needed. The breakfast was also nice and well prepared. I recommend the place and I'll definitely come back. What you see is what you get and I also loved where the place is located and also how safe is it.
- Alexandre (9/5): -
- Sinenhlanhla Sthembile (10/5): -
- Hilda (9/5): Great moment - Bed are comfortable 1 of our rooms was changed
- Nathan (5/5): Fair - The staff was very friendly and accomodating The shower is awesome The bed sheets were not fresh or clean. It was obvious that they had not been changed. The lighting in the room is terrible. Disco lights just dont do it No plugs near the bed. And light switches are in inconvinient places
- Masood (1/5): Never again - Nothing Poor communication from staff
- Phillip Tumisang (1/5): -
- du Toit (7/5): -
- Soon (4/5): -
- Neo (6/5): -
- Nganga (8/5): It could be better - The staff really tried their best. I liked that it was secure. The lighting in our room was disappointing. It was very dark. The swimming pool was not clean and we had to pay extra to use the Jacuzzi, which shocked us because we were not told In advance. We also struggled to get into the property after the concert even though we had informed the employees before we left.
- Smith (8/5): Very good -
- Pierry (7/5): Good -
- Chantal (1/5): Bad -
- Londy (2/5): Very poor -
- Ngomane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Thulani (7/5): Good - I liked that they had a pool for us to play. They advertised that the property has a jacuzzi but did not mention that there's a separate price per individual on their advertisement. A service provider needs to make it clear in advance which services are paid for separately in order for us to consider that aspect before making a booking.
- Primrose (6/5): Pleasant -
- Thabiso (7/5): Good - Parking space
