Guest Reviews
- John (9/5): -
- Underberg (9/5): - Clean, neat, friendly and excellent service
- Vanessa (7/5): - Gorgeous surroundings
Not too far from the airport They offer a shuttle service on the website, but it is not free. It is not made clear on the website .
- Ntuli (5/5): - Cleanliness, easy access and peaceful. Their bar only has beers, no ciders. Myb they should get a new sound system that connects to bluetooth in case if you want to play you own kind of music.

- Fourie (7/5): - Dinner nor served
- Justin (7/5): Bad Dogs - Location provides easy access to major traffic routes Unfortunately the lodge has two small dogs running free that harass the guests, bark in the early hours and the one decided to bite me on the ankle while walking back from breakfast. Unfortunately the staff seem to just shrug this behaviour off and offer no apologies. This is obviously a common occurrence at the lodge.
Will be booking elsewhere next time.

We wish to experience the place more on our next stay.

- Anthony (4/5): A pleasant garden but hotel needs updating - It was hard to find using GPS because there are several Pretorius Roads in Midrand. The room was stifling hot because a radiator had been left on. The wi-fi didn't work in the room. The power went off and nobody know how to put it back on.
- Campbell (8/5): Excellent Service - Stayed for a few nights on business. Really nice place with excellent service. I locked my keys in my car and, without asking, received assistance from two employees. They left what they were supposed to be doing to try and assist me. I ill definately return on my next business trip to JHB.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Cadre charmant - Je n'y ai même passé une nuit vu la déception que j'ai éprouvé à cause de l'inconfort des équipements de la douche.,en plus l 'écran minuscule de la télévision gêne la vision.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good breakfast but freezing in room - Acceptable 3 star establishment but not great on very cold winter nights. Inadequate heating in room. Friendly staff and a very nice breakfast. A great venue in summer, no doubt!
- E.K (8/5): Für ein paar Tage Aufenthalt reicht das Hotel - Das Inventar ist veraltet und die Zimmer können auch mal renoviert werden.
