Great value for a J'Burg layover
This was an excellent option for a layover stay at J'Burg airport. Just 5 mins in the shuttle and they have a nice garden and terrace. Pool too cold to swim in but gave it a go. Good buffet lunch and very nice breakfast. Excellent value.

Wonderful early October stay at Southern Sun!
We enjoyed a wonderful 4 night stay in early October, 2024. From our check-in to and including our check out, we were kindly and very well looked after. Kudos to the housekeeping, bar, dining and front desk staff. Great wine and cheese reception every afternoon. A special thanks to our Concierge, Bridgette, who arranged some private tours for us. The tours were also excellent!

Fine for a night
Hotel is okay for a night before an early flight but a bit limited for an extended stay. Gym is small and not all equipment was working properly, the weights machine was out of action for the entire two weeks of my stay. The room was dated and looked rather tired. Breakfast queues can be long, but they do make a good omelette.
