10 out of 10. The penthouse takes up an entire top floor with a Jacuzzi and an amazing view. I was really impressed with the level of opulence and attention to detail. Dinner and breakfast were just as good with many options presented.

Food was excellent as was the location. We were able to organize excursions to Soweto and the Apartheid Museum via the hotel. Our guides were very informative. Really like the hot tub on the terrace of our room.
We were very satisfied with everything we were offered.

Breakfast was exceptional.
Staff were super kind and managed to help anything we asked for.
We had a toddler so extra linen, towels, etc were given to us without any hassles.
Even though we were on the 2nd floor (no elevator), the staff were more than willing to help us with our belongings (Stroller, etc).
Since it was winter and only 1 of the 3 pools were 'heated', they could cut down the price during winter season. This includes the use of Jacuzzi as well.

My word... Fantastic bordering on ridiculously fantastic. Seriously, there was not a single aspect of my stay there that was anything other than exceptional - welcome, facilities, room, service, food, bar-service, wifi - were all outstanding.

The Residence is gorgeous and so beautiful.
Every room has special touches and one can see that care is taken.
Leonard and Anton are both so friendly and efficient.
I have been a few times and I have noticed certain aspects of the service have slipped.
We had to deal with alot of " the supplier hasn't delivered yet" which was quite annoying.
I found the receptionist extremely unfriendly.

Great staff. Wonderful rooms and nice garden. The outside areas for most rooms are excellent and private. The flexibility of the staff and management remains outstanding. We have stayed every other year since this wonderful hotel opened. It remains one of our favourite in the world; and holds its own with other world-class boutique hotels (e.g. Hotel Laufaurie-Peyraguey by Lalique that is ranked in the Top 15 in the world). It is exceptional value for money. The bed was easily the most comfortable that we had in 2 weeks in South Africa.
The only minor quibble is the unpredictable transit time to JNB airport. It is tricky, but with rain and load-sharing it is difficult to predict accurately how long a transfer will take and JNB airport parking remains a hassle for all concerned. Nothing the hotel can do about this but you will need between 45 minutes and 1 hour to travel between JNB and The Residence. At some times the journey can take a lot longer.
