Fantastic stay. Soo impressed
Pros:

This hotel blow my mind. I was not expecting such a fabulous hotel or stay. It was our last night on a Tour holiday and what an ending. We ate in the restaurant next door and l have never had such a meal before. The whole experience was truly amazing. The variety of meats on offer fantastic as well as the entertainment. Our room was lovely and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and we sat on the outside terrace enjoying the sunshine. My tea was served in a teapot how about that. I had to have my photography taken here and thank you to the young man who took my photo. Would love to stay again as fell in love with this fabulous hotel and facilities on offer. The whole complex was well maintained

An Exceptional Stay at Indaba Hotel
Pros:

My stay at Indaba Hotel was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring a comfortable experience. The rooms were immaculate and well-appointed, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel personal.

The tranquil setting, beautiful gardens, and seamless blend of nature with modern amenities made it the perfect escape — whether for business or rest. The breakfast selection and overall dining experience were outstanding, and every team member I encountered went above and beyond.

A truly world-class experience. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend Indaba to anyone visiting Johannesburg.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Friendly staff. Very clean . Had all the facilities- some touches such as chocolate and nice tray of drinks.
Very reasonable priced food and drink.
Only reason did not get five stars was that breakfast was very hectic. Not sure if that’s because there were lots of tour groups leaving at the same time, but they run out of glasses and cups and clearly struggled on the day

Well planned spa & stay
Pros:

This was a well planned spa and stay package that we booked through Mowana Spa, which is located on the property. From the booking process to the special treats and hotel room, the spa and the hot air ballooning, everything was well planed and executed. The staff is very friendly and they cater to your every comfort. Well done!

Did no live up to commitments
Pros:

I booked accommodation at the Indaba for an event that my friend has hosted there for 25 years - the Christmas in July event. I was promised the CiJ rate, which never materialised and when I questioned this, from transerefred from pillar to post without a resolution. Staff were uninformed and generally did not take accountability for promises made. Very disappointing.

Property is very big and well maintained. The service was great and all staff friendly and helpful. Everything you need is on the property and you don't have to go anywhere if you don't feel like it. I enjoyed my second stay as much as the first one.
