Leighwood Lodge

One of our best stays in a private owned guesthouse worldwide and I have been to many! We arrived late and they prepared a wonderful dinner for us with the most romantic set up you could think of with candles and our own table on their terrace. The food was excellent and everyone took so good care of us. The rooms have everything you want. Breakfast was so special, the bread was the best I had for a long time outside of Germany.... They even prepared a lunch for us so that I could have my business lunch there - which was good, as we could discuss some business details very intimate in a fantastic setting. My business partner also was very impressed! So for me 10 stars put of 5 and a definite Yes for everyone traveling to Johannesburg! It is definitely also worth to spend first or last night before or after launghaul flight arriving from wherever. It is only a 30-40 min drive to JNB airport and they arrange private transfer for you for very reasonable rate. We will definitely come back and stay more then one night. A nice shopping center and restaurants are within walking distance.

We recently visited as an extended family of 13, booking all 6 rooms. The staff wow'ed me. They were the most kind and helpful people. The food was AMAZING, definitely be sure to book some of your meals here during your stay! Due to cold temps, we weren't able to truly experience the beautiful outdoor area however I'm certain that with a visit during another season, you'd be able to relax and enjoy the pool and garden area, too. I saw all the rooms since we booked them all and they're all very nice. We were very comfortable in our big bed with spacious floor and storage space, along with an ensuite bath that had both a tub and shower, and ample sink counter space.

The staff and owner make this place absolutely special. It is the perfect place for a family to go, and feel family atmosphere away from home. Rooms are a little chilly when we were there, but in true hospitality fashion, the lodge provides heated blankets and in room heaters. It is the attention to detail like this that makes this place special.

Our stay at Leighwood lodge was perfect! We loved how peaceful and tranquil it was, the rooms were so comfortable and the garden was stunning!|Leigh and her staff go above and beyond and the food was divine! Had the best time. We can't wait to return!

A lovely bnb with very kind staff, amazing food, and safe location. We stayed at the lodge for four nights and were greeted with a delicious breakfast and friendly staff each day. A large and clean room, lovely view of the garden - will definitely return!

We had an amazing two nights at Leighwood Lodge. We used it as our base for a short girls escape in Joburg and it was perfect. All the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The beds were ideal for sleep ins! A highlight was the amazing food prepared for dinner and breakfast as well as the friendly and helpful service from all the team. We will be back.

Leighwood Lodge is such a beautiful and relaxing place. Leigh and her staff are so welcoming, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and we can't wait to come back!
