Perfect!

Great place to stay! Well kept, quiet, and safe. We didn't get to enjoy the facilities as planned due to our flights being changed by the airlines. We arrived much later in the evening than originally planned. Tirsa and staff were very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again when in Johannesburg.

Loved the back yard sitting area. Had supper and drinks out there which were very good and a good price. Pool was cold and not clean and no chairs to sit out by the pool. All in all though, excellent stay for the price!
