- Francois (8/5): Very good - Location and size - comfortable May need some ant treatment
- Segz (7/5): - The host was effeciant in communicating the information for our stay. Location is great. The room would've been better with blockout curtains. The sun was so bright and made the room hot.
- Henry (9/5): Would stay here again. - The location was perfect for me. Elna the owner was extremely helpful. The verandah and the view were wonderful, I didn't feel locked into a room, I loved sitting on the verandah at night, with the sparkling lights of Johannesburg as my view. I would definitely stay here again. No real problems.
- Janita (10/5): Lovely location to enjoy the city lights with very comfortable living space. Very clear communication with very helpful - Lovely location to enjoy the city lights with very comfortable living space. Very clear communication with very helpful people.
- Ashleigh (10/5): Orangerie is the definition of home away from home - My favorite thing about Orangerie was the quiet and calm. It felt like we were the only people on the premise. What impressed us most was the seamless check in and check out process There's nothing we could improve about the place
- Yuti (10/5): -
- Limakatso (9/5): - Breakfast was excellent. Room very spacious
- RiazLakhi (4/5): goedkoop is duur koop - we only stayed 1 night even though we booked 6 nights. not much to like. coffee was noce. difficult to find in the night time. many stairs to the allocated room(okay if you dont have any luggage, but hard lugging suitcases up the stairs several times(mentioned in the description, however it was not pleasant) . 2nd bathroom had no doors (never heard of a dutch bathroom before) but we all ended up using the main en suite bathroom as noone wanted to use a bathroom/toilet with no door. ran out of hot water (2 adult ladies with long hair washing).
- michelle (10/5): Stay here for the views and some tranquility in the city - The views over joburg are amazing! Feels like being in a treehouse. And the rooms are modern and comfy with aircon and a fridge and microwave
- Jeanine (9/5): -
- Doug (10/5): -
- Tefho (8/5): - Location great Nothing tbh
- Tefho (8/5): great - Great host great location great room Nothing ot note the property ,et my expectations
- Moteke (8/5): -
- Jack (10/5): -
- Andy (8/5): Lovely lodge on the Northcliff Ridge, driveway is a bit hectic. Our room was nice. - No food avaialable No welcoming experience, a bit impersonal
- Sithembile (10/5): -
- peter (10/5): Will stay here again. Its a bit more expensive than I normally pay but its worth it. - I liked the spacious and stylish room, the gardens and views
- Van Heerden (9/5): -
- Mageretha (8/5): - Friendly reception, good salt of the earth people. Steep driveway
- Carl (10/5): - Beautiful views and efficient checkin/checkout.
- Karen (10/5): Very comfortable and convenient for us. Loved the view! - Northcliff is a lovely safe area.We went to Olivia’s Bakery just down the road for the most amazing breakfasts. Our room no 3 is a corner top level room with stunning views of Joburg. The bed and duvet were extremely comfy and top quality. The shower was powerful and both bath and shower had plenty hot water, the heating was great. The location was perfect for us visiting family , lots of restaurants and Churches nearby and Cresta shopping centre a short drive away too. Nothing
- Albert (9/5): -
- Warren (10/5): Relaxing and peaceful - Love the location. Great view and very peacful. Nothing
- Lecia (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely stay, Elna was very responsive, spot was beautiful
- Sifiso (9/5): Superb - We were warmly welcomed by the owner and she waited till very late for us. The place was very clean. The breakfast that was promised did not meet our expectations. The steep steps leading to our unit are dangerous
- Sean (8/5): Overall, very good value for money. The host was fantastic and the location ideal. - Location was perfect as a base for our activities during the day. View is amazing. We stayed in a studio room. Our only issue was the noise factor. It is difficult if a couple has one person who gets up before the other person. You simply can't be quiet in the room. There were little things that could be improved to help - for example, rubbish bin was metal with a metal lid, bathroom door was squeaky, shower recess was plastic making it really loud when taking a shower, the shower door was clunky, crockery was loud on the kitchen benchtops, cupboard doors didn't close smoothly. I think these are little things that can be big things in the early mornings when you're trying to be quiet. We could also hear the neighbours through the walls.
The TV was too small and too far away. Can't watch it easily from the bed.

- Magda (10/5): Very, very pleasant with the friendliest and most helpful hostess you could ask for. - Elna instantly made us feel at home. Spotlessly clean room, spacious and very well equipped.

The room had a phenomenal view.

If you're thinking about where to stay, look no further.

A 100% highly recommended place. None.

- Moresetlhare (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Wilma (10/5): Comfortable, spotless, private - Quiet location central to where we needed to be. We loved sitting on the stoep enjoying the wonderful view, the garden and birdlife, and saying hello to the owners' two beautiful dogs. The service was excellent - Elna kept us informed and always answered questions promptly. The deal included a basic breakfast and this was provided in the unit for us to enjoy at our leisure. The WiFi and TV with Netflix worked well, and the place was spotless. The packing space is appreciated as well as the iron + board, hairdryer, tea/coffee and rusks. This was our second stay and we hope to return again when the need arises. A basic door or other partitioning for the bathroom would be great in the upstairs bedroom.
- Manare (10/5): I had an amazing stay, Elna the host was wonderful. Everything was clean - The property was clean and comfortable Nothing
- Brad (9/5): I was only there for one night, but it was an amazing room. I appreciated the coffee and rusks. - Room was amazing, huge with a great view.
- Stephen (8/5): Very good -
- Jaco (9/5): Superb - Very friendly host and very accommodating for my later arrival. Great view and lovely stay overall. Sorry I could not stay longer. I really would like to see filter coffee options rather than just instant coffee at facilities. It is a small thing that will go a very long way but it is a personal preference.
