My wife and I stayed for one night at African Rock Hotel and Spa as we needed somewhere to stay between flights, however we wish we could have stayed for more. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and our room was truly stunning. We wanted a very relaxing nights rest before flying again the next day and that’s exactly what we got. Would 100% stay again.

Excellent pick up and return service from airport to hotel - distance about 20 minutes, charming rooms, good service, food is cooked on the spot, a good place to relax at least one night if you are going or coming from a long journey in South Africa.

The beauty of this hotel lies in its grounds and its cuisine. In fact, I was a little put off by the cramped dining area and definitely by the gray carpet and somewhat tacky furnishings of Room 1 when we arrived at night. The next morning, I changed my tune. The gardens are thickly lush and well-tended. The outdoor tables are comfortable and, at dinner, a lovely fire crackled. We actually felt like we had a private chef since the only other couple ate early before an international flight. We stopped by the homey kitchen to discuss her recommendations. My extremely tender springbok was from a local farm. The veggies were perfect as was the sauce. Dessert was delicious. My husband enjoyed his fish, not at all overcooked as can happen, and the papaya salsa served with it. In the morning the lattes were excellent and my husband pronounced the everything omelette the best he’d ever eaten. Not least, Dineo, the driver helped us with a pharmacy and optician in a very proactive, professional and persistent way. She’s a gem.

Lovely small hotel with great service. The gardens make you feel a million miles away, the open fire takes the chill off in the evening. Very well decorated with some original art works Would definitely stay again thank you. We only stayed for one night as a stop over but again a very good hotel.

If you want to feel like you "have arrived in Africa", instead of staying at the run-of-the-mill international chain hotels near the airport, you should consider African Rock. The hotel is small and quiet with a personable and professional staff. They have an excellent chef- the highlight for me on our stay was springbok carpaccio and excellent beef fillet. The rooms are luxurious with heated bathroom floors and towel rails. The photos by other reviewers are accurate. And they offer free transfers to/from the airport - about 20-minute drive each way. This was my 3rd stay and I look forward to returning.

My wife and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Part of our itinerary include spending one night at the ARH on our inbound journey and one night on our outbound journey. The ARH is an absolutely first class hotel which offers amazing facilities, customer service and food all provided by very efficient and extremely friendly staff. The service starts with an airport meet & greet and transport to the hotel. Our respective drivers were very good and nothing was too much trouble for them. We were allocated the same room on both our separate stays and it was superb. We had three meals on each of the days we stayed at the hotel the quality of all of them was amazing prepared by knowledgeable chefs. On our first stay we had Springbok for our mains and it was awesome and there is no wonder Lions like it! My wife and I also took time to use the hotel's Spa and she commented that her facial treatment was the best she has ever experienced. My massage was also very good and relieved and took away the strains and aches from our long flight getting to South Africa. This trip was going to be once in a lifetime but we loved it so much that we are planning to return next year and we will definitely be calling in at the African Rock Hotel again!

When we arrived greeted and treated kind with respect. Helpful staff. Great room with coffee bar and extras. The food is top of line and they accommodate food sensitivities with grace. They go above and beyond. Hence we are staying here again :)
