Very pleasant stay, cute and cosy rooms, switched on staff, a real gem
Pros:

Breakfast choices were very good, I chose the ARH special omlette which was excellent, as I needed to leave for the airport in the early morning the considerate staff took the order in the evening in order not to loose any time.
Tea and coffee facilities in the room were well stocked and provided ample choices.

Cons:

nothing that I could think of

Super stopover in JNB
Pros:

Das kleine Boutique-Hotel liegt in einer sehr sicheren Umgebung 20 Min vom Flughafen. Die complementary Transfers waren perfekt organisiert. Zimmer ist geräumig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr schön gestaltet und ruhig, höchstens die Geräusche der Vögel sind zu hören. Das tolle Massageangebot können wir sehr empfehlen. Das 3-Gang Abendessen war exzellent, ist aber für südafrikanische Verhältnisse mit 925R auch schon etwas gehoben bepreist. Das Gleiche gilt für das Weinangebot. Summa summarum ein perfekter Stop-over der sein Geld mehr als Wert war!
