Great family run hotel conveniently close to Johannesburg airport. The rooms are in a private, gated area and are clean and spatious with a large pleasant garden outside. The food is hearty and they have a well stocked bar for drinks and snacks. The staff and owner are extremely friendly and helpful. The have a pickup and drop-off service to the airport which is around 10 minutes drive away. Safari Club is a very good place to start or end your South African holiday or safari, a whole lot better, more relaxing than the impersonal airport hotels and at a far more resonable cost. I will definitely stay here again.
