We loved everything about this small hotel and chose to stay their twice during our month in South Africa. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive to our needs. Their attention to details was exceptional (like chocolates on our pillows and a minibar that was included in the room price).The hotel itself is beautiful and the setting, high over Jo-burg with sundrise and sunset views makes it really special. Though a 45 minute taxi drive from the airport, we considered it well worth it and will stay there again in a heartbeat. It was too chilly to swim and we were too busy to climb the trails, but those options would only add to the value of this experience. Our "home away from home" in Jo-burg.

A hidden gem in an amazing location. The hotel has amazing views from the top of Northcliff Hill. The room was clean and very comfortable, the staff were amazing and the Chef prepared 2 dinners for me which were delicious. The breakfasts were also fantastic. Will definitely be back :)

only having to leave!

Our second stay at this incredible boutique hotel - and if anything everything was even better than the last! The staff, food and facilities are amazing and you can tell every staff member is proud of their hotel. A family feel is definitely achieved and my only concern that as their popularity grows we may struggle to get a vacancy the next time we’re even remotely near enough to stay. Thank you to everyone!

Difficult to say as i absolutely loved the boutique hotel!

It is really a lovely, small boutique hotel, with much customized service! The view is outstanding for Johannesburg and let the guest forget of being in a big city! Absolutely great is the 20min trail from the hotel to the top of the Northcliff. The food is also very good. Exceptional is that it is possible to sleep with open doors: i felt very safe, which is not normal in Joburg! The staff gave me the feeling of being not only a guest nut somehow part of “family.”

We could not find one single fault !

Everything ! The boutique itself is so tranquil and stunning. Caters for every need possible! The facilities our amazing. The extras provided at no extra cost is a first and we have stayed in 100’s of hotels and this adds an extra touch. The food is out of this world ! The staff ; Cindy , Phindy (chef ) Connie and all others are the nicest people you will ever meet ! So kind, thoughtful, happy and helpful. They all go above and beyond to make your stay the most enjoyable experience you have ever had in any hotel. A 10 star rating is way too low .. we wish we could give a million star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not one thing - the team was superb.

There is not much not to like about The Cliffside Boutique Getaway. The venue is located on Northcliff hill with great views of the Northern Suburbs of Jhb. Its beautifully decorated and so are the rooms - its difficult to decide which one to book. Mmatau, Phindi and Elias were so professional, kind and attentive. The room was very comfortable with all that one could need. The breakfast was delicious. Thank you for the care shown.

Wifi was sketchy for a couple of hours but great otherwise.

The space has a tranquil quality which immediately made me feel relaxed. It has a fantastic view and also direct access to the hill/park at the back of the property which is perfect for a stroll after food and also a short hike if you're up for it. Food was great too!

This is a superb relaxing getaway in Johannesburg. The service is impeccable; the food is first class; the gardens are beautiful; the private and common rooms delightful; and the staff have a commitment to making you feel at home that exceeds anything I have experienced in my (now rather long) life. If and when I go back to Johannesburg, I would not even consider staying anywhere else. Do yourself a favour and spend a few days at Cliffside.
