Only stayed one night and arrived in the early evening and had difficulty finding the location, mostly because the roads in SA tend to not have working street lighting. Friendly well mannered Staff, felt happy the parking was secure enough, great breakfast, spacious but "worn" room with a good view of the river, noisy neighbours though. Had a good rest.

The Staff are friendly and helpful. The room was of a good size for a property near the airport. The complimentary shuttle service is a bonus. Good breakfast. Use the advertised cell number through WhatsApp for the best communication with the hotel.

We enjoyed the flexibility of this quaint little guest house in that they came to pick us up quickly at the airport even though our arrival was unannounced. Everything in the room was as we wanted it to be. Breakfast was surprisingly good. Overall, we found great value for what we spent. We would visit again.

Excellent shuttle service. Contacted them ahead and it worked nice and smoothy, both to and from the airport. Staff were quite noisy in the corridors and this is one thing that could be easily improved. Comfortable bed, nice breakfast, bathroom was sufficient for needs.

Very clean, modern room and furnishings. Quiet, secure and easy access to the airport. Transport was included and on time both to and from for my stay. Great hot breakfast. I've been in Joburg many times. This was the most attentive, cheerful staff I've experienced. I definitely recommend it!

Welcoming Crew

The crew was busy with a large event but still tried to make me feel as welcome as possible. They went out of their way to make me some dinner and delicious wine. The property is currently under renovation and many exciting things are happening. Extremely quiet and convenient location for anything airport related or also for large events.

Our Journey To South Africa

It was a long flight from California to Johannesburg, South Africa over 20 hours in the air. When our plane had landed, a staff from Vista ORT was present holding up a sign with my name Yukiko on it. He had a big wide smile and said welcome I will be driving you back to the hotel. Late in the evening we arrived about 7:00pm. After checking in at the front desk he then carried our luggage to our room where we slept, and breakfast would be served in the morning at 7:00 am. The bed had futon blankets and was very warm. In the morning, we were blessed to have birds singing. Everyone was warm and friendly; I felt just like being at home. The breakfast was served with hot, food that they brought to us, my milk was warm which I really much enjoyed. Everywhere was safe and the shuttle driver would take us and bring us back. Suggestions were made of our surroundings, and a guide would always be with us sharing education and knowledge. The days were inviting with sunshine and when we were not at Vista ORT we were sightseeing and enjoying our vacation in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Airport shuttle was great Staff were very welcoming and kind. We slept very well. Power went out 8 times during the night. Maybe from the storm? We were very cold in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, but the dining area, while beautiful, was freezing. I had to leave early to sit under the covers in the bedroom until we left. I would come back in better weather. 😊

4/10 Poor

I did not use the air-conditioning. I, therefore, cannot give an opinion. The airport shuttle service was poor. There was no shuttle service available when I arrived at the shuttle terminal. I had to phone the Lodge. I was told that the shuttle had to be pre-booked. Since the booking for the accommodation was done through Expedia, I was not informed about the prerequisite for the shuttle service.
