“Outlook Lodge was very comfortable. It is a small with a very inviting atmosphere.”

My stay there was restful and quiet. I did not go out of the gate except when my friends came to take me out to dinner, so I don't know about the surrounding area. The pick-up and delivery to and from the airport was timely. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my time out by the pool. Breakfast was very good and more than adequate. I dealt with Francois mainly; he was knowledgeable about his position as were the others on the staff.

Area recommendations
I cannot answer this question because I do not know the neighborhoods or areas of Johannesburg.

“Explorers Wanted”

A great base for exploring the Johannesburg region, located in a pleasant suburb close to OR Tambo Airport. Had some difficulty getting through by telephone, so I took a cab instead of using the pickup service. Francois was very accommodating, providing a sandwich and a beer when I arrived and arranging for a guided tour of Soweto the following day on very short notice. He also dropped me off for dinner at a local restaurant, and came to get me later. Outlook Lodge specializes in photo safaris, which look good, but I was bound on an adventure of my own. My room was extremely comfortable, with two sleeping areas and a private bath across the hall. Public areas are nicely decorated, and the grounds are quite attractive. All in all, a very good choice for a single, a couple, or a family.

Area recommendations
Johannesburg can be overwhelming for newcomers. Peak traffic is like LA, complete with smog, and it's on the other side of the road. Don't rent a car without GPS. Your hotel will have very visible security, including barbed wire. Don't be too concerned. Like all big cities, Joburg has problem areas. Stay out of them, and you will be OK. The upside is that there is a lot to see and do. I visited the Cradle of Mankind sites on a previous visit. Very well done. Soweto is a must-see for those interested in more recent history. I did not visit Sun City or any of the other world-class entertainment venues, aiming at wildlife of a different sort. Kruger Park (about the size of New Jersey) is a three-day excursion into a National Geographic wonderland of exotic animals and colorful birds. You drive through -- don't even think of getting out of the car! -- and spend the nights in fenced compounds overlooking great viewing areas. Our favorite is Oliphants River, where we saw hundreds of elephants of all ages. You will see antelope and buffalo by the thousands, rhino, hippos, a whole Noah's Ark. Visitor centers monitor sightings of big cats and other high-profile critters. Better than Disney, and it's all real!

“WOW”

We stayed at the Outlook Lodge and went on Safari with Outlook to Kruger and Sabi Sands. From the moment they picked us up at the airport to dropping us off a week later, the entire staff catered to our every wish. As an example, the evening we were leaving our son asked for a Fanta but they were out. They phoned an employee who picked one up while coming into work. That is service. In all my travel I have never stayed at a hotel where the staff was so helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The rooms were very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Staying the night or a week, Outlook is a very reasonable priced lodge, in a quite neighborhood, where the staff is friendly and makes you feel like part of the family.

“Close to airport”

We were looking for accommodation close to the airport and Outlook lodge fitted our needs. It’s a good house, the room was clean and really big and designed in two levels with a living room totally separated. Some repairs are needed to earn back the 4 stars that is being rated. Somewhat overpriced, probably influenced by the World Cup.

Getting around
You will need a car to get around as anywhere else in South Africa. Taxis are rare and expensive, you need to rely on the place you are staying to call someone they trust.

“Loved the hotel! Great place to stay in!”

I loved this hotel. Great location. Amazing service. Beautiful room. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay in a big city, this is the one. Would return again.

“QUIET AND COMFORTABLE”

THE LODGE IS MORE LIKE A BED AND BREAKFAST, WITH ONLY 5 ROOMS. WE ONLY HAD 2 NIGHTS BEFORE GOING ON SAFARI AND IT IS CONVENIENT TO THE AIRPORT. THEY HAVE A SHUTTLE, BUT WE HAD TO CALL TO HAVE IT PICK US UP. NOT EASY TO WALK TO A RESTAURANT AT NIGHT, SO WE HAD THEIR DRIVER TAKE US BOTH TIMES. BOTH WERE GOOD--MOZAMBIQUE AND DAB. THE MANAGER DOES A GREAT JOB-ALMOST EVERYTHING. THE INCLUDED BREAKFAST WAS GREAT.

“Extremely Friendly Staff”

The hotel lobby and rooms were clean and comfortable, the shuttle was prompt, and the breakfast was ample and delicious. However, the most notable feature was the exceptionally accommodating and friendly staff, and I felt truly valued as a guest.

“Charming local hotel”

If you are looking for a nice, resonably priced place close to the JNB airport this is it. Very clean and charming with a large bathroom. Beautiful grounds, great breakfast. Small and intimate bed and breafast type hotel. We stayed here after arriving in JNB too late to get a connecting flight to Zambia. They arranged transportation to and from the airport for us.

Traveller's tip
Call ahead to arrange transportation to the lodge.

“very satisfied”

Relatively close to Tambo International Airport (~20 minutre ride). Stayed overnight in between flights. Comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Make sure to arrange transportation from airport in advance
