I loved everything about my stay. As a belated birthday gift to myself, I was so happy to receive a handwritten note upon arrival. Not only that but the staff is magnificent. I really enjoyed meeting everyone. The bed is so comfortable! I slept like a baby every night, which was easy after soaking in the very deep free standing tub! The food was absolutely delicious and, to my surprise, nice portions. The wine was superb, the spa treatments were divine, and the large balcony was perfect for my morning yoga and meditation. I highly recommend staying here as a solo woman traveler as well because it is very safe and welcoming. I will definitely be back.

The property location is breathtaking. Up in the hills and with a view to die for in the Sunrise and Sunset rooms. You can see the beautiful city at it's finest in the morning and at night. Breakfast and dinner are bespoke and above all else, absolutely scrumptious and the portions are extremely generous. Don't even get me started about the drinks. We had to save some for later. The fittings in the room, the cleanliness. My word! There was no single fault. The amount of care and preparation done to make our stay enjoyable is world class. A special shout out to all the staff members because they are simply the best. We loved our stay and we must come back.

A Hotel that makes you feel Welcome from the very First Moment on! Cindy and her entire Team are at your Service from entering the door. We arrived late morning, however coiud geht a marvellous Brunch though. Whennaskimg for Restaurant recommendation they offered us a Braai in the evening, which was so tasteful, huge portions, good wine...Just to enjoy the evening. Poolside very nice, comfortable sunbeds, Drinks available any time. Superclean rooms, fresh and tidy. Breakfast on the second day was incredible, both cold and hot choices were marvellous. All accompanied by the friendly Staffel Made US feel like Home. Definitively a place to recommend and to return!

The perfect place to unwind and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of Joburg. Exactly what we needed. Do yourself a favor and book this accommodation, you won't regret it! From the smooth check in experience, to the welcome drinks, to the attentive and kind staff and the tailor made breakfast experience, we had an excellent experience and will definitely return and recommend to friends and family. Beautiful rooms! We stayed at the Sunrise Room and it was the room with the best views! We arrived at sunset time and it was magical. Well done, Cliffside team :)

The pressure from the shower could be better :) Thank you.

The Cliffside is an absolute gem. On arrival one enters through the beautifully landscaped garden and proceeds into the contemporary and thoughtfully designed house. Amenities of the house include a lounge area which invites one to read, enjoy a game of chess (or other games), brew a fresh coffee/tea, or sip on a drink from the honesty bar. Outside the garden pool and sauna invite you to rest and recover. Not to forget the mountain trails leading directly from the lodge. Given the peaceful and secure space, it's easy to forget how near the bustling city is...yet with parking available and the ease of Uber, it's a quick journey for anyone heading out to town. Our room and terrace provided views of the city, was thoughtfully fitted with a comfortable bed, a generous bathroom with shower and large corner tub, quality toiletries, comfortable chairs, Apple TV, fresh flowers, mini bar, wifi, etc. etc. The delicious breakfast was served either in our room/terrace, in the garden, or the lounge area. It was truly the perfect stay in Johannesburg. We absolutely recommend staying here, and hope to be back again ourselves. Special thanks to Mmatau and Connie who welcomed us wholeheartedly and ensured our wellbeing throughout our stay.

Having to depart. ; )

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.

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.”

Difficult to say as i absolutely loved the boutique hotel!

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We could not find one single fault !

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.

Nothing

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed. Cindy, Mmatau, and the other wonderful staff were so welcoming from the second I arrived, and it continued throughout my stay. My room was fantastic, clean, light and airy, and every single meal I ordered was delicious. I was really sad to leave. Despite being in Johannesburg for work, I felt so relaxed by my stay. If I ever have to go back to Jo'burg I would go back in a heartbeat. I can highly, highly recommend this hotel. Just wonderful.
