Ian, the manager/owner, not sure, was super amazing! I was lost on route to the Vantage as there are 2 Vantages (CAG) as well as Vantage suits. I was so frustrated that no one wanted to help me! Ian arranged to have an Uber collect me from my wrong hotel (CAG Vantage) and drop me at the correct accommodation. When I arrived, everything was absolutely perfect and spotlessly clean. It was a hotel/suit but with a home away from home feel. The bed was super comfortable, and the pillows met my very strict expectations of pillows. I slept like a log! The check-out was painless, and to be honest, this is my and my colleagues's new choice of accommodation close to our office when travelling. You can't go wrong here. PS: It was super quiet in the evening, which was an added bonus. The WiFi worked perfectly, as well as the air conditioning and everything else. The shower had ample hot water with good pressure. Let's just say it exceeded my expectations! Thank you, Ian, for turning a very frustrating situation into diamonds!

We had a lovely stay here and wish we could stay longer. The room was very nice and equipped with everything what we needed. The property has a lot to offer (pool, gym, etc.) and it is located within a safe area. The lady we met at the check-in was helpful and really kind. We'll definitely come back for more days if we around Joburg again.

Leading up to my stay at Burkleigh House I had requested to be able to do an early check-in and also have my Fiance be accompanied by some family and friends. The management met my every request. The room was squeaky clean, beautiful and very comfortable. The next morning, we had an amazing breakfast with the kindest of staff constantly making sure we have everything we desire. We truly loved our stay and appreciate the management accommodating our every request.
