Airport Tower Lodge is gated and in a secure residential area close to a public park which had numerous Sunday picknickers. In the daytime you can see planes coming in for a landing, but the noise is not excessive. Staying at Airport Tower Lodge is like staying at a huge Spanish Hacienda- as a matter of fact, before it became a lodge, it was a private residence. The ambiance is amazing! Nicolene made us feel so welcome that we regretted staying only two nights. When she saw that we had lots of luggage, she upgraded us to a ground-floor room so we did not have to climb the stairs to our booked Tower Room. I highly recommend the Continental Breakfast which was way beyond our expectations. For dinner, the tasty Asian Stir Fry can be split between two people and even then, you may have trouble finishing the big portion. The lodge arranges shuttle transfer to and from the JNB airport with a local taxi service for 250 Rand each way. The Honesty Bar operates on an honor system- you just write down what you consumed. Coffee and tea are free all day. We'll stay there again if we are ever back in Johannesburg.

The swimming pool had a lot of algae, but since this was the winter season, I did not expect to use the swimming pool. With the proprietor Nicolene having recently lost her husband, keeping up with pool maintenance is probably a challenge. This is not the Lodge's fault, but I wish more people would book this undiscovered gem. There was only one young couple there as guests during our stay which made us feel a bit lonely. There are no walk-ins allowed for security reasons. I hope good ratings on Booking.com increase the lodge's popularity.

Nice little hotel close to the airport, perfect for a one-night stay if you have a long layover. Staff were really friendly and polite. It’s right next to a lake and a park, so the view is also great. We were on our honeymoon and staff had decorated our room, which was really cool! Thank you!

Some of the furniture looked a bit worn out and needing replacing. There were quite a few steep stairs to get from the door of the room to the room itself and then more stairs to get to the bathroom, which was on the second level. So the room interior was interesting but a bit inconvenient when you had to go to the bathroom at night.

Honestly, the best hotel we’ve been to, and we have travelled a lot! The staff is super sweet and friendly and will assist you with anything you need. We even got a ride to the mall and the airport! On our last day we were even offered one room to rest before our flight (no extra charge)! The breakfast and dinner was always fantastic and there is a great variety of vegetarian dishes. The rooms and the garden look magical and you will immediately feel at home! Keep up the amazing work!!

Everything was fantastic!!

Great place....stayed for a night. Receptionist was really hospitable. You can organize with them for a pick up and drop off from and to OR TAMBO, at a 280rand price. Its a distance of 15min from OR Tambo. Then from Airport Tower Lodge there's a mall nearby that is just 3-5min drive or less. The view is mind blowing and the rooms are exquisite!!!!!! Makes you feel as if you are in a palace. This, amma do again! Thanks guys.

The style and upkeep of the place was outstanding, the small details like a simple thing like a mosquito pad really is well thought out especially because you right by the lake. Only thing I would change is the coffee in the room I'd you had maybe those small longlife milks instead on powered milk but everything else was absolutely amazing and we truly loved the stay. Staff very friendly and very helpful. Place is clean , rooms well maintained

Nothing I can complain about to be very honest

The location is fantastic, minutes from the airport but in a extremely quiet neighbourhood. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom even more so! The style of the building is unique and the pool area felt both warm and secluded. The staff were great, the dinner excellent and served on the minute that you pre-order it for. Stayed there 2 nights a week apart, and the second night felt like I was returning home!

Second time booking this accommodation when travelling. It’s convenient and close to the airport. The owner is really friendly and goes above and beyond to help and sort things out. I liked the fact that there was a shuttle available to book to and from the airport. Great all in all. We will book it again.

Not much, pretty much everything you need. Nice feel, and good facilities.

Stayed there before and loved it generally. Yesterday I booked for my elderly mother last minute and Staff name Mbali handled my desperate situation with so much compassion and professionalism. She made sure my mother was safe and even called back to confirm she had checked ✅ in. That for me shows how much she cares for people. Thank you Mbali for your help and my mother loved it.

Property is unique and nice looking. Rooms were comfortable. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

Location is close to airport so good for a stop over but not much else around. Some disrepair but doesnt overshadow the positives. They need to update a few prices etc. on their menu, and i believe it still says free airport shuttle on Booking. com and the shuttle is actually 200 Rand.

Really nice room (tower toom) consisting of two floors, one floor was a huge bathroom and the floor below a big bedroom with a comfortable bed. The room was really cosy and had very good views! The breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good location if you need a flight, but also worth staying if you don’t need a flight.
