We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, but what truly sets it apart is the exceptional service from every member of the team. Your service was outstanding from the very beginning, but it became extraordinary after we fell ill and needed to extend our visit. The staff went above and beyond—checking on us regularly, preparing special meals to help us recover, and making sure we were as comfortable as possible. Their kindness, warmth, and genuine concern made a difficult situation so much easier. We have traveled extensively, and we can honestly say we have never experienced service as thoughtful, compassionate, and attentive as this. If you are visiting South Africa, stay here. You will be cared for in a way that is truly rare. Highly, highly recommended

“Stylish boutique hotel near airport.”

Lovely small boutique hotel, 20 min drive from Jo'burg airport with efficient complementary pick-up and drop-off service, in quiet (away from flight paths) gated neigbourhood. It could be just another airport stop-over hotel but is so much more than that and worth staying longer if possible. Only … lisää

Lovely small boutique hotel, 20 min drive from Jo'burg airport with efficient complementary pick-up and drop-off service, in quiet (away from flight paths) gated neigbourhood. It could be just another airport stop-over hotel but is so much more than that and worth staying longer if possible. Only 11 rooms in quirky modern buildings laid out around beautiful gardens, with lots of local art sparking things up, including lovely ink drawings and paintings by one of the owners with prints and other local art/souvenirs available to buy. Our room was huge and well provided, we stayed half-board and dinner was fantastic, my beef fillet possibly the best meal I had on a holiday which was characterised by great food. The disappointment was we had to leave early in the morning after a 1-night stop over and neede pack up breakfasts when we'd have loved to try the hotel's full breakfast!

“The only place to stay in Jo'Burg”

The African Rock is one one the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Set in lush gardens in a secure residential area of Jo'Burg some 15-20 minutes from O R Tambo airport.

The African Rock is one one the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Set in lush gardens in a secure residential area of Jo'Burg some 15-20 minutes from O R Tambo airport. Comfortable and well furnished quiet rooms with a very pleasant outside eating and sitting area alongside the pool. The staff were fantastic in being attentive and the food was first class. The airport pick up and drop off was excellent, being collected on arrival and pointed in the right direction to check in. The hotel also stored our luggage whilst we were on safari which was a great help. The African Rock is the only hotel I would stay in in Johannesburg.

Stayed one night after arriving at OR Tambo before flying onto Botswana, and another night on the way back. Arrived from AMS at 2130, and were met at OR Tambo by the complimentary driver and driven safely and efficiently to the ARH in 15 minutes. Food was waiting for us at 2230 - a platter of casseroled beef, fish and chicken, and a glass of Merlot. Breakfast was similarly tasty, friendly and efficient, and then a return to OR Tambo in plenty of time for our flight. Coming back, we landed at OR Tambo around 4.30pm and met at arrivals by driver Orlando for the transfer to ARH. Nice bit of chill time in the garden before dinner - lovely steak and Pinot Noir. Next day's flight was an 2300 departure from OR Tambo, so we asked for a tour to the Apartheid Museum - which is a must if you've never been - powerful, shocking but ultimately hopeful. The ARH arranged for local guide Itu who was excellent. No issue with a late checkout (2030, after a stunning kudu steak) before a return to OR Tambo and reality. Staff were great! Room was superb - individual, huge bathroom, kingsize bed, super clean, and very quiet. Usual large and individual room. Great little giftshop too. Alastair and Primrose run a very friendly and efficient little hotel - love it. Much prefer this to an airport hotel - recommended
