The directory of local attractions, maps, restaurants etc was invaluable. Bathroom was immaculate, fluffy towels, dressing gowns and excellent toiletries – up-market
natural products.

We very much appreciated the attention to detail - from international plug converters to the list of local radio station tunings (including who each station
caters to!).

The electric blankets and under-floor heating are a treat. People forget that Joburg gets cold in winter.

The most amazing part about the place is the pool. We spent one afternoon just lounging and having wine as the sun set.

Stayed August 2008
Best of all, we were able to utilize the services of Zac to drive us wherever we wanted to go, for dinner out or day trips. Liz also made arrangements for us to tour Soweto with an incredible guide, a man who had been part of the student uprising there and told us his firsthand stories.
