Reviewed Aug 25, 2026Foot Prints Self Catering is a good choice for travellers looking for a comfortable, private, and convenient stay without the formality of a hotel. The self-catering setup is especially useful for guests who prefer preparing their own meals and having more independence.
The overall appeal is its homely atmosphere, privacy, and practicality. It would suit couples, families, or travellers wanting a relaxed base while exploring the surrounding area.
Nothing in particular.
They cleaned our rooms daily.
There was no hot water in the mornings, they say they switched the geysers off at a certain time. We had to wait 45min as requested by staff for the water to heat up only to have Luke warm water. Having a hot shower in the mornings shouldn't have to be a request or plea.
There was no privacy on our last night we stayed as there were other guest who booked together on either side of our room,and they kept walking past our patio as a short route to get to either rooms.very disturbing throughout the night.

Reviewed Jul 20, 2026Our stay was disappointing. The Wi-Fi did not work during our visit. I had booked what was advertised as a double-room cottage, but it turned out to be a single-bedroom cottage with an extra bed placed in the lounge next to the fireplace and TV.
The single bed had only a very thin duvet, with no additional blanket or electric blanket, making it uncomfortable in the middle of July. The walls had dirty spots. The fitted sheet on the queen-size bed was torn.
The property has a lot of potential, but it would benefit from some much-needed maintenance and attention to detail. With a bit of TLC, it could provide a much better guest experience.

Reviewed Jul 19, 2026I loved the Braai facilities and the pools. The room is quite comfortable, and the fireplace is a great feature. The staff are kind and helpful.
The wifi signal was poor the whole stay. Had to make sure we had data.
We were attending a wedding at Toadbury Hall which is right next door to Footprints. Karen very kindly allowed us to check in early so that we could get ready for the wedding which was great. Ester is very friendly and met us at the gate and showed us to our room. They very kindly kept the geysers on so we could shower before heading to the wedding. The room is well equipped with tea, coffee and rusks.
The room was freezing cold. Although there is a fireplace, we were not given any wood to light the fire and there is no other way of warming the room up. It was 11 degrees in Johannesburg and we were freezing. I would suggest putting a heater in the room.
The bathroom was not clean and there was hair in the plug in the shower.
We had some very rowdy people staying in the room next door who played their music very loudly and kept shouting. After partying until late on Saturday, they got going again at 6 on Sunday morning which was not ideal as the rooms are anything but soundproof.

Reviewed Dec 17, 2025The location is good and my boys enjoyed the heated pool and trampol
I was not comfortable with the layout of the apartment, as the main bedroom was too close to the other room. We had to pass through the other room in order to access the bathroom and the kitchen, and the bedroom door could not close properly.
The shower floor was very slippery, which posed a safety concern. In addition, the apartment was not thoroughly cleaned upon our arrival. Some of the dishes were dirty, and both the stove and the stove kettle were unclean. There was also no electric kettle provided to boil water.
To be honest, I was very disappointed, especially considering the amount of money we paid for the accommodation.
