Johannesburg
This is a delightful suburban hideaway, presided over by an astute couple who cater for businesspeople and holidaymakers with equal aplomb. The lush garden surrounds feature a kidney-shaped pool and a spacious lapa (South African thatched gazebo). The 14 rooms vary in size and price, but all are stylish and tastefully furnished.
The breakfast smorgasbord is worthy of special mention and in-house catering of other meals is available.
