From the minute I was met at the airport by Lucky I was made to feel welcome. The short airport transfer in an air conditioned minivan was quick and pleasant to this gorgeous boutique hotel with a bird filled tropical garden. On arrival online check in was professional and quick. Dinner at the Blue Hippo Restaurant was world class and the lanterns in the garden around the pool created a fabulous ambience, so homely and inviting. The interior decor of the hotel including the double volume executive suite were extremely tasteful and luxurious. Highly recommend at least 2 nights to overcome jet lag and enjoy the spa treatments available at the spa upstairs. You will be well looked after by the whole team at this hidden gem, their attention to detail will impress any intrepid traveller.

Lovely little hotel with welcoming staff and a large, clean bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived as during the drive to the hotel we were a little concerned about the location but on arrival very impressed with what we found. Dinner and breakfast were very tasty with a good choice given how small the hotel/restaurant is. The only thing to consider is that it is away from Jo'burg centre so whilst very handy for the airport, it would be difficult to go in to the city to explore depending on flight times. Also, the area is not somewhere you felt you could walk around to explore other restaurants - not because it felt unsafe but because it didn't feel there was anything to see close by.

Staff are very friendly, location is ok, 30 minutes from the airport. Rooms are nice and well serviced. But it’s way way overpriced for what it is. Our stay was booked as an add on to an African Safari tour. I have travelled to over 50 countries and stayed in some 5 star hotels and resorts, this is not one of them. To pay $500-$600 AU a night for these rooms is ludicrous. Rooms are not large, only average furnishings and fittings. You will get a lot better value for money staying at suite at a Hilton, Marriott or Hyatt. For similar money or even less you will get a two room suite in Johannesburg.

My wife and I stayed for one night at African Rock Hotel and Spa as we needed somewhere to stay between flights, however we wish we could have stayed for more. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and our room was truly stunning. We wanted a very relaxing nights rest before flying again the next day and that’s exactly what we got. Would 100% stay again.

Excellent pick up and return service from airport to hotel - distance about 20 minutes, charming rooms, good service, food is cooked on the spot, a good place to relax at least one night if you are going or coming from a long journey in South Africa.

The beauty of this hotel lies in its grounds and its cuisine. In fact, I was a little put off by the cramped dining area and definitely by the gray carpet and somewhat tacky furnishings of Room 1 when we arrived at night. The next morning, I changed my tune. The gardens are thickly lush and well-tended. The outdoor tables are comfortable and, at dinner, a lovely fire crackled. We actually felt like we had a private chef since the only other couple ate early before an international flight. We stopped by the homey kitchen to discuss her recommendations. My extremely tender springbok was from a local farm. The veggies were perfect as was the sauce. Dessert was delicious. My husband enjoyed his fish, not at all overcooked as can happen, and the papaya salsa served with it. In the morning the lattes were excellent and my husband pronounced the everything omelette the best he’d ever eaten. Not least, Dineo, the driver helped us with a pharmacy and optician in a very proactive, professional and persistent way. She’s a gem.

Lovely small hotel with great service. The gardens make you feel a million miles away, the open fire takes the chill off in the evening. Very well decorated with some original art works Would definitely stay again thank you. We only stayed for one night as a stop over but again a very good hotel.
