Love the privacy of the patio. Very quiet. They have a lovely restaurant with a fabulous menu but they also specialize in steaks. They source their meat from all around Southern Africa. Food was awesome. I am using this hotel as my base for travelling o In this part of the world from Jburg to and always look forward to returning.

Lovely hotel & fantastic driver

A really lovely hotel. Staff were great, helping us wherever they could (and allowing us to hang around the hotel after check-out when our flight was delayed). The restaurant was great - breakfast & dinner we had was really tasty, and the bar was friendly and relaxed. What really made the trip was the driver they connected us with before we arrived - Mayen Naldo picked us up from the airport but was then available for the rest of our trip, with advice on where to go & safety, he charged the same as a taxi per trip & was reliable and incredibly helpful.

I had a good rest since I was traveling from USA . However the WiFi connection wasn’t great and that didn’t make my stay any easier . I couldn’t use the bar fridge because it wasn’t plugged and I couldn’t find the plug. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was very helpful and friendly , overall Afrique Boutique Hotel is a beautiful and unique place I liked it .

Traveled from the USA. Stayed at this property for 4 days and it was great stay. Rooms were clean and the staff was very accommodating after getting a room with only a bath and I later asked for a room with a shower and was moved the next day into one. Breakfast buffet that came included was good, I loved the dinner options along with the drink selection at the bar. Rooms included their own little walk out area, some which appeared to have better views than others. Outside sitting area by the bar was great and relaxing. For the price I paid, this was an amazing property to have spent my four days at.

This was a very nice place to stay. As an American it’s often difficult to travel in a foreign county but the service at Afrique was top notch. It’s not walking distance to anything which was its only downfall from my point of view but the food was amazing and the staff was very kind to me especially all the young gentleman who helped with my room heat and internet and the little things I had challenges with. It was nice to have your own patio to get fresh air whenever you wanted. It’s close to the East Rand Mall and the Airport. Did I mention the food was amazing and the laundry service - well I’d fly 16,000 km to have this nice lady clean my clothes again! Thank you for a lovely stay.
