African Silhouette Guesthouse

The atmosphere, the hospitality of Suzan and Richard. This was our 2nd visit and it always feels like home.

Nothing, everything was extremely brilliant and smooth.

Serene environment and the owners are great hosts

The road leading to the property

Nice host at the property. Had a good stay.

No internet or cell signal at the property, but it’s on a farm so it’s understandable.

Breakfast options were utterly fantastic

I really enjoyed my stay! Susan and Richard are very welcoming hosts and make you feel right at home. The bed was comfy and i loved the bathtub 😍

The bedroom had spiderwebs everywhere, the furniture had dust, the pillows had a very bad smell. The yard is covered with trees everywhere.

Felt like an authentic african lodge. Very comfortable twin suite was private courtyard with outside shower. Has a wonderful oval bath inside the room and I had two leisurely baths looking out onto the courtyard while it rained gently. Lovely pool in the main garden. Susan and Richard were excellent hosts. There is a boma if you want to braai and chill in the evenings and a great Texas BBQ place: Smoke and Fire about 10 mins away

The beautiful plants, all the birds and the many cats. It felt very secluded like a private island.

Nothing

Tranquil and very quiet. The hosts were just warm welcoming. Bed extra comfortable.

Atya was too short.

The property is made up of different adjoining buildings, it’s very quirky and rustic. My favourite thing was the outdoor shower in my rooms courtyard. It has a small pool surrounded by a large pond and trees. Other facilities are bbq area covered parking areas and electric gate. The hosts are what makes this place tick, they treat you like an extension of their family. They ask you what you would like for breakfast, it’s polite to say - what you don’t eat and the be treated to something new and interesting every morning. It’s a personal service here NO corporate company will match their love and support.

It’s very difficult to criticise people who are so kind and loving, but I’d love a firm pillow lol

We had an overnight layover at Tambo airport and stayed here for the sleep. Very easily arranged transfers for us and had a breakfast before our early flight.

The cleanliness and unique design of the rooms (outdoor shower, and unique bathtub). The other facilities were also great and the host Susan is very helpful. We unfortunately left a pair of shoes but were able to get it back with her help.

The hospitality, the art, the room was clean and big. Susan is the best, she literally goes out of her way to make sure we got the best.

No bar fridge in the room

The rooms are very comfortable, the host is top-notch and the outdoor shower was a new experience 👌

Nothing to complain about

Thank you for the lovely breakfast!!

To be very honest, there was absolutely nothing I liked, except seeing my daughter under supervision. This was really a very bad experience in all regards.

There should be urgent attention to maintenance, cleanliness, mattresses, linen, and pillows, and I think they should not even be open. The owner was so disappointed that I was a Genius level 3. She had to give a discount, and she fought like a tigress to charge more for a 4-year-old little girl visiting from 9 to 17:00. This place will never see me again.

The room is so unique there is also a shower outside with a small garden where one can sit beautiful in the room there is a very luxurary bath😍 you can even eat breakfast supper and dinner

I loved everything

Location was perfect. Out of the way but not too far that we couldn't access all the facilities we needed. Hosts were amazing and so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We were treated like family and were sad to leave. I would recommend them very highly, you won't be disappointed. Just hope the rest of our trip meets these high standards.

Great location and the rooms are in a lovely setting. The outside shower was great idea and the rooms well equipped and clean and comfortable. Highlight is your wonderful hosts who are super friendly very welcoming and make you feel relaxed and at home. Garden is a great place to chill and relax if you have just come off a long flight!

Nothing to do with the property but the road outside is a little rough well we thought so until we got to Kruger!!

The atmosphere the hospitality

That we stayed for such a short time

The hosts, they go out of their way to assist, help and make your stay as pleasant as possible. The shower is excellent! Their food is delicious!

Unfortunately we do have back and hip problems, so one must take that in account, but our bed were a little bit uncomfortable.

Everything. Clean homely. Helpful people made this journey a pleasure

Friendliness of the owners

water for bath not hot

Breakfast was good, just cold. Need microwave in rooms. Shower outside is very nice.

The toilet roll holder came out of the wall and the toilet door can't close completely. Need a generator during load shedding for lights and radio/tv. Need cutlery rooms.

We had the most incredible stay at this lovely establishment❤️ Susan and her hubby are the sweetest people and really went above and beyond for us. We felt like we were home and honestly didn't really want to leave. The fluffy omlette we had for breakfast was to die for and the beds.. Wow.. Possibly the best night's sleep I have had in awhile and that was a general feeling between all of our group who stayed. Waking up to birds chirping and fresh air was exactly what we needed. Susan made sure we had hot water even during loadshedding by boiling us water on gas and delivering it in a flask to our room, we also had rechargeable lamps during load shedding that really made a huge difference. Susan.. We are so grateful for you and your kindness! My only complaint is that we don't live closer so we could visit more often 😢

Nothing

The accommodation was relaxing and in general was a amazing experience, Susan will go out of her way to make sure you are comfortable.

The road getting there is rather bad but it didn't bother us, would just recommend to people in very low cars to be careful.

the room was spacious and neat

access limitations and the breakfast

Susan and Richard super friendly. I had an unexpected travel to Joburg and landed very early in the morning. Susan's flexibility allowed me to get an early check-in and recover after an overnight flight. Richard is a superb cook and every meal was a little taste of home. The location looks far on the map but its only 10minutes away from OR Tambo, and the green lawns and quiet atmosphere allow you to really recharge after a hectic journey. I spent two days here and really enjoyed it. Excellent value for me, would definitely stay again.

Everything was fabulous. Outdoor showers might not be for everyone - I liked it.

The cosy setting and idyllic surrounds, was food for the soul. No disturbances whatsoever. The host was most gracious and helpful. An ideal getaway for those wanting to get rid of stress in their lives. Loved the ethnic decor that blended so well with the environment.

There was nothing that really dissatisfied me. Shower was a bit problematic and that was immediately sorted.

Everything about the place was amazing. From our host, Ms Suzan Valentine. She was such a lovely host.

Nothing in particular. Everything was 👌

My stay at this location was absolutely life changing. The booking was so seamless and the host was amazing.

Super nice place. The room was huge and clean. Loved the bathtub and the outdoor shower. Nice place to recover from long travels. It's really quite and the owners Susan and Richard are lovely.

I looked for a accommodation where I could stay for one night after a longe flight from Europe. I really enjoyed the time on this place. The host is really friendly and it was a warm welcome to this country. I really recommend this place.

Susan has been an awesome host with her welcoming and friendly demeanor! She went out of her way to accommodate my requests. The venue was such a surprise with it's African feel and attention paid to detail. It also has beautiful gardens that add to creating the most tranquil environment.

Beautiful rooms. I like the size of the bathtub. Bed was extremely comfortable. Room was very clean and had everything I needed.

I would've liked an indoor shower

Lovely well-priced accommodation! Exactly what I needed! Thank you for the hospitality!

very friendly people!

room was a bit cold

The property has a relaxed country feel. Susan is certainly the star of the show at African Silhouette guesthouse.

it was a beautiful peaceful place. Suzan and James were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. we had a nice stay. Susan is also a very good cook.

What a great place! This was truly a great geataway from all the world cup craze when we were there...The only issue to consider is that it's a bit far out - I strongly advise to get a rental car (with GPS!) or have Susan (the very nice and kind owner) take you to and from JNB (the int'l airport) from where you can take the high speed train into Sandton - the main (and safe) part of Jo"burg.
