Unique building and rooms. Grounds are lovely. Bed was very firm. Breakfast was good but no other dining options on property and minimal restaurants nearby.

Impressive on approach. Tiny room and bathroom. Very basic, but clean. Comfortable bed with clean bedding. Ceiling caving in. Shower old and sprayed everywhere with limited pressure. Breakfast good. Friendly helpful staff. Limited wifi esp during load shedding.

Perfect!
Great place to stay! Well kept, quiet, and safe. We didn't get to enjoy the facilities as planned due to our flights being changed by the airlines. We arrived much later in the evening than originally planned. Tirsa and staff were very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again when in Johannesburg.

Loved the back yard sitting area. Had supper and drinks out there which were very good and a good price. Pool was cold and not clean and no chairs to sit out by the pool. All in all though, excellent stay for the price!

Very nice, homely place. Our room was very spacious, included nice shower, Jacuzzi, and bathroom. Breakfast was included, and it was very tasty. Airport transportation is not included but can arrange at a cost. Staff very helpful and accommodating. It was very nice that it included a remote that unlocked the gates which was helpful when we got back at nights from our tours. Would recommend and stay again.

small, crawling with ants and not what was picture
The pictures were beautiful and the main house/building is where those pictures were taken. However the room we were given was a detached annex of the main building and the room was incredibly small and outdated and the bathroom was crawling with TONS of ants.

Hi Helen Thanks for the review, we really appreciate it. Our budget rooms size are specified on the welcome letter you received. Also why it is our 'Budget' rooms and not sure why you would call it outdated and why the pictures are deceiving? Sorry about the inconvenience of the ants, we really try to keep it under control :)

Great value for money and so close to the airport. Our flight was delayed and we couldn’t get hold of the driver Gordon - he ended up waiting at the airport for us which was very nice of him. We had a great stay, the room was comfortable and clean. The staff were so accommodating and helpful. We stayed in room 10 - which was an outside room next to the kitchen. It was a bit noisy as it was right next to the kitchen busy prepping for breakfast. Great breakfast buffet and lovely tranquil garden with a pool too. We will definitely be staying there again.

No air conditioning. The shower went for fromhot to cold to hot to cold. The back of the property is not in good shape ( under costruction) But has potential. It needs some investment

Business trip
Staff was very friendly and very quick to answer our query. The wifi was not working and we did tell the lady at the reception just before we went out for dinner. There were strait on it. When the office was closed but when we got to the room we could find a note with new wifi code and it was working. We have been a bit disappointed about the room, though it was ok, but it was not really looking as nice as the pictures we saw on the website.

Charming old house in the countryside
This is a lovely old house converted into a very nice B&B. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and although it was extremely difficult to locate once there it was a short drive to a shopping center with many restaurants. The room was very comfortable and the bathtub in my room was a very nice and relaxing touch. The breakfast was excellent with many choices in the buffet and very nicely presented. I would certainly recommend it to anyone with a car wanting a very traditional experience.

Great stay at Malandela Manor
Great stay! Lovely hosts who are very friendly and accommodating. Malandela Guest Manor is located about a 15 min drive to/from Tambo International airport, so it is convenient place to stay if you have long layovers or need a relaxing place to unwind after a long flight.

Fantastic and memorable stay
My husband and I and two friends had a wonderful one night stay at this beautiful guest house.It has a sprawling garden, a good size swimming pool, a huge living room and nice dining room which extends to the outdoor. The couple who runs it are very friendly and hospitable. His wife even drove us out for dinner. The morning breakfast which was included in the room charge was simply delicious. The kitchen staff was friendly and generous with the servings. We really enjoyed our stay there. Thumbs up for Malandela!!

Great place to unwind and relax.
Staff was extremely hospitable and accommodating, providing amazing shuttle service at a very reasonable rate. Manor house is located close to the airport, which is handy, however there is not a lot in the surrounding area within walking distance. The owners are more than happy to provide suggestions on how one can order food and get around the city, which I enjoyed.

Great stay.
Was an overnight stay for myself and two colleagues. Facilities were comfortable and impressive. Was a bit strange to have the bath and shower open-plan - no privacy, but it was only for a night! Friendly service, very comfortable and great rates.
