The family running this place is nice and helpful. Someone came by daily to clean. There was a shopping center 5 minutes away for all needs. It was a great location to get to all attractions quickly via uber.

Comfort off the beaten track

So it's a bit out of the way, being a good 25 minute walk from the Sandton Gauteng train station. Very nice once there, with great restaurants 10 minutes walk away at Melrose Arch. VERY private neighborhood gives feeling of safety. No breakfast unless you order ahead of time.

Great Location.

Perfect spot for a visit, whether business or pleasure. A great location close to Sandton, easy access to the motorway and lots of parking space. A lovely garden and pool give superb views from the room, and with all he amenities in the room to make a meal and enjoy the space, this is a great place to stay. If cooking isn't your thing, ANKA Lodge is on the doorstep of some lovely restaurants at Melrose Arch, or takeaways just in Corlette Drive. Like I said - great location! Add to the above the fact that The staff and management are really friendly, makes this a super place to stay.
