• Claudia (10/5): We had such a wonderful stay — truly a home away from home. - We were especially touched by the thoughtful extras — having food and goodies in the fridge ready for us was such a kind and generous gesture, and so greatly appreciated after our travels. Loved everything.
• Naidoo (10/5): - Host was great , always checking we were happy with everything. Goes the extra mile to make sure the we was comfortable and very accommodating.

• Gregory (10/5): - Friendly and accommodating. Nothing everything was perfect
• Tania (10/5): Definitely our new preferred accommodation when working in Gauteng. -
• Brian (10/5): An oasis of quality in Rivonia. - Everything. Before I booked I looked at the reviews and didn’t believe how perfect it was reported. I believe it now. The unit is fully equipped with quality items and Jamie Oliver would be very happy with the kitchen facilities. The unit is clean and fresh. Lilian, the hostess, is very attentive whilst at the same time respecting the guest privacy. A wonderful stay. Nothing.
• Behl (9/5): -
• Dena (10/5): Extraordinary - We had the pleasure of staying here for 6 nights. Our host Lilian was nothing short of extraordinary and went out of her way to ensure we had the best stay. The apartment is fully equipped with everything that one needs for a very comfortable stay. We have found our hidden gem for future trips. Lilian you are simply the BEST!!!!! Nothing at all.

• Symphorien (10/5): Une expérience en autonomie 5 étoiles, parfaitement située, très bien équipée, propre, calme. - Une véritable expérience en autonomie 5 étoiles, idéalement située à distance de marche des centres commerciaux, de la station de bus Gautrain et du VFS. Personnel efficace, établissement entièrement équipé, propre, calme et sécurisé. Cet hébergement dépasse largement le standard des locations en self-catering. Ils fournissent absolument tout ce dont vous avez besoin et proposent un service de ménage quotidien gratuit. Le lit confortable, ainsi que le linge et les serviettes en coton égyptien de haute qualité, impeccables, sont ce que j’ai le plus apprécié. Je le recommande vivement à tous.

• Josh (10/5): Exceptional - After a nightmare landing in Johannesburg our first property wasn’t fit to stay in, we booked with Lilian at the arches of Rivonia and what an absolute pleasure Lilian was, letting us check in early after booking at short notice, we arrived to a very stunning complex with friendly and helpful security, we went to the apartment to be greeted by Lilian and again very friendly and pleasant, the apartment is stunning with a very nice kitchen to cook in with a lot of appliances, from a coffee machine with coffe beans to a panini maker, beds very comfortable and clean, a nice balcony to enjoy our lunch and dinner on, we couldn’t be happier with our stay at the arches of rivonia and Lilian, the area was very safe with shops and restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. This stay saved our holiday from being a nightmare to being an amazing trip. Would 100% recommend staying here to anyone and we will be booking to stay again in the near future. Thank you
• Monika (9/5): Great stay at Rivonia One & Only - A friendly welcome. Lots of extras such as basic groceries (tea, coffee, spices, bread, cheese, milk even some vegetables) and an awesome bean to cup coffee machine 😁
• Edith (10/5): Warm, Welcoming & Pet-Friendly Home in a Secure, Central Location! - We had a truly wonderful stay at Lilian’s beautiful 2-bedroom apartment! From the moment we arrived, Lilian welcomed us with such warmth and kindness, immediately making us feel at home. She went above and beyond to arrange her apartment like a real "second home," with thoughtful touches everywhere that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The apartment is located in a very secure complex, so we always felt safe and at ease. The location is also fantastic—very central, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away, which made everything so convenient for us. We are especially grateful for how caring Lilian was with us and our two furbabies. She treated our pets as part of the family, showing them so much love and making sure they were just as comfortable as we were! Thank you so much, dear Lilian, for your hospitality and for giving us a truly fantastic experience. We look forward to staying with you again and can’t recommend your place enough! Everything was perfect.
• Paul (10/5): Great location, great host, great facilities. We will be back! - Very attentive host. Nothing was too much bother. Very responsive to any request Lilian your host cannot be faulted
• Logan (9/5): Superb -
• Janine (9/5): Quiet 2 bed 2 bath apartment with a really kind and generous hostess. - Comfortable well furnished apartment, each bedroom has its own bathroom. Quiet complex. Really central and close Rivonia village. Nothing not to like. Just be aware it’s on the first floor. Not a negative but be aware the breakfast is prepared by yourself in the apartment.
• Yathirajan (9/5): Nice stay.. clean property.. value for money - Excellent coordination by the host, clean and super good property.. value for money... all ok.. If at all I must say somethin.. then... Just had some issues in getting the luggage to the first floor since there was no lift. But still that was managed by the support provided by the host. That maid was so nice and helpful in getting this sorted..
• Theophile (10/5): Amazing - Lovely place, great host, quiet area, we had a wonderful time and will happily be back.
• William (9/5): Superb -
• Logan (10/5): Absolutely amazing!!! - Unfortunately breakfast was self catering, however everything was provided from different types of cereal, to bacon, eggs, bread, yoghurt, coffees and teas. Lilian even left us mushrooms, sausage and juice. We stayed over for two nights and were not even able to eat all the food. Absolutely amazing value for money. The appartement is very spacious with motion sensing lights which helps when you have to get up and get some water in the middle of the night without having to put on any lights. Lilian herself is an amazing person & very friendly and full of life. The complex itself is extremely peaceful and 1 km away from restaurants and Rivonia shopping center. Absolutely fantastic and would definitely stay over again. By check out we ran out of toilet paper, which isn't the end of the world, but an extra roll would have satisfied the nerves :D
• Itumeleng (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): Exceptional - amazing! so clean, host is incredible
• Arif (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vanessa (10/5): Best place in Rivonia - Everything. Lilian is such a kind and thoughtful host and you have all the facilities you need. There is absolutely nothing not to like.
• Levi (10/5): Fantastic host and apartment - Lillian was an excellent host. She provided quite a few amenities so that we didn't need to do much shopping on top of this Nothing - we would come again gladly. Ok the swimming pool didn't seem clean or well maintained, but this is a communal pool and its not under Lillians control
• Werner (9/5): Superb -
• André (9/5): We had a wonderful stay. - The auto night lights when walking at night or in the dark. Explained how everything works in detail. Regular communication to see if we’re okay. Spacious and everything works perfectly as advertised. Breakfast variety. Crockery and cutlery is very old and mismatched. Not mentioning a R1500 cash deposit in the costing/rates until you’ve booked and paid in full for your accommodation. Also not making it clear that the R350 cleaning fee added to your payment is not for daily cleaning but for the cleaning when you book out.

• Abel (10/5): We came through for a weekend to watch a rugby match, and couldn’t have asked for a better stay! - The property gives a homey feel and the furnishings is quite beautiful. The property is conveniently located near all amenities. Everything in the property is cleverly thought through, from the extra water at the toilets should there be a water problem to the solar lights placed everywhere in case of load shedding. Extra cushions and blankets in all cupboards for chilly nights. We were spoiled with nice ingredients for a lovely breakfast, enjoyed on the porch. We were quite impressed and enjoyed our stay tremendously.

• Rowen (10/5): Very enjoyable experience and the owners are very friendly and helpful. This is a safe place. - The owner met me on arrival. Very helpful and friendly person. She went the extra mile to make sure I had dinner the day of arrival. This venue ensured my bed was made everyday, fresh towels and apartment cleaning was available every single day. This meets world class hospitality standards and is value for money. The complex is very safe and family orientated. I really enjoyed my stay here and recommended this place. There is not much not to like about this place. This place is perfect.
