Overnight stay
The stay was only for one night before our onward journey. We ate in the cafe area on a couple of occasions and everyone in the group had something different but everyone said the food was delicious.

This place is SO convenient as an overnight stop between Johannesburg and any place beyond.
Hassle-free check-in, nice restaurant and area to grab a glass of wine and un-wind from a long flight.
Rooms always clean, nice hot shower, quiet and safe.
