This place is pure perfection, with a sprinkle of customisation that makes each individual guest feel special. Kagiso was our waiter for lunch and supper and very attentive. We will be back again!!! ##### Bongi Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shekkola 23 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Every aspect of our stay was intentionally welcoming. From the welcome beverages to the bedside treat, we felt cared for every moment of our stay. The tour of the sanctuary allowed us to have an inside look into the life of Nelson Mandela. Each person at the sanctuary told us more about the beautiful history of his time there. We highly recommend a stay at the sanctuary to all who visit Johannesburg. The meals were exceptional and designed with a global perspective. Each dish has its own story. There is amazing variety. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/865b3699-4e32-4a0e-91be-67e10c546fa5-1758629733364.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e736d4f-03cb-44e5-82ba-e775dda107cb-1758629735537.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/46a872c1-0eeb-4007-86f0-0a3749f43621-1758629733636.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0100a149-449e-47c8-852b-4825ae91f8cb-1758629734595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shekkola Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamye 19 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Upon arrival, the staff greeted us by saying, “Welcome Home”.

I'd corresponded with Tumi, the manager, prior to my visit. She was warm and welcoming as was the woman at the front desk who greeted me when I arrived. The breakfast, which is included, is a la carte. I ordered several things, thinking the portions would be small. They were not. Everything was delicious (yogurt and fruit, eggs benedict) and the coffee (I take it black, no cream or sugar) was super. My only criticism was in regards to the restaurant dinner. I ordered chicken tangine which were two thighs in a tangine sauce. The thighs had so many bones and such little meat that I thought they were actually pigeon. The sauce was mediocre. ##### Francesca Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### SERGIO 17 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The hotel and the staff are amazing!
