We really appreciated the boutique and quirky ambience of the hotel. Clearly the hotel has grown organically and the layout is a little complex which is interesting to uncover. Each space is full of character and very comfortable. Staff are charming and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. We stayed in the Pool Villa one night which we loved, due to a leak we were moved to the Madiba Suite for our second night which has a huge private deck. Both suites were lovely, comfortable and well designed. Spa treatments were very good. We would happily stay again and recommend.

We loved everything about this five star luxury haven. The decor, the staff, the food, the ambiance, the spa, the comfort. What a beautiful and memorable entree to South Africa! We were truly sorry to leave when it was time to go and will make it a must in every future S Africa visit!!

The hotel is in the upscale Houghton area but I still wouldn't feel safe walking around it! We spent a night in the hotel before flying back to the UK. The hotel’s car picked us up and dropped us off at the airport and the driver efficiently sorted out where to meet our handler. Very impressed with the service. The hotel has a sizable footprint set in lovely gardens with two swimming pools and other pools with fish and running water. Very relaxing. We had a suite in the annex which came with its own hot tub and terrace. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The décor is colonial with an eclectic twist, sometime it worked but other times it looked a bit tacky! We enjoyed a pre dinner drink in the well stocked bar and chose local cuisine for our meal which made a nice change and was good to try something more traditional. The price of food is on the steep side compared to where else we stayed. There was a good choice for breakfast with a cold buffet and hot food to order. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The only issue was with the safe which malfunctioned but they lent us a key so we could leave our valuables there. An oasis ideal for a night or two to chill out.

This was my second time visiting the residence spa and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The ambience, the views, the attention to detail with the products used and not forgetting to mention the magic and experienced hands of sonthini ( by far one of the best therapist I have come across in my 3 weeks travelling South Africa)! I was left feeling energised, invigorated and ready for my return to this beautiful oasis in December of this year. Nothing but exceptional

We had a wonderful stay at the start of our trip to Namibia and Botswana. The Residence was the perfect play to stay after two long flights from the States - quiet, comfortable, very warm and hospitable, superb staff. We arrived late afternoon and had time to settle in before a lovely dinner. The property itself is very spacious and inviting, plenty of room for every guest to spread out if they wish. Our room was quite large, well appointed, and very comfortable. Our suite had a sitting area, a very large closet with all the room you need to store your belongings, a lovely covered terrace with an outdoor shower, and an enormous bathroom with both a shower and a tub. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel. Each meal was delicious with more food than we really needed! The service was very professional and attentive without being intrusive. We had a late afternoon flight out the next day so we had some time to enjoy the property. The manager offered us a day room as we couldn't do a late checkout from our suite, but the hotel grounds were so lovely we decided to enjoy them inside of sitting in a room. We had a wonderful stay - my only complaint is that we only booked one night. The Residence is our new must-stay hotel whenever we travel to or from Johannesburg.
