    This is the second time we stay here, and for very good reasons! The owners and staff are super friendly, the place is strategically placed near the airport and in a very safe area. The pool is great and you can hear many birds singing. The decorations are very nice and the breakfast is second to none. We will return again and highly recommend it to everyone!

    We where looking for something close to family and the airport. Just a random Google search and at a good price we found this tranquil gem. A warm reception, excellent service and a peaceful neighborhood.

    The Willow Inn is very well located if you need a good night sleep and you are traveling between OR Tambo airport and east of the country. We stayed in a comfortable room upstairs and we had a nice breakfast next morning. There is seating area downstairs and around the garden and swimming pool (it was too cold for a swim but still nice to sit beside). All of this topped with excellent price per night.

    The Hotel you can call Home. Secured location and private parking, free wifi, BBQ area and swimming pool. Breakfast is delicious cooked and served warm and beds very comfortable. Room are very clean nicely decorated. Area is very calm with private access. Big trees at the hotel garden and plenty of sitting areas at the hotel reception. Plenty of light and fresh air.

    It was winter when I arrived there, and it was very cold. I couldn't stay in the main room downstairs because the lady didn't want to close the main door and no heat was there, so I was forced to go to the bedroom where I got provided a small heater. After my stay, I've been requesting an invoice but nobody is answering my requests. The place could be very nice, but better to stay in the summer time I guess.

    The owners were friendly. the place is quiet. I really enjoyed our stay there. I would definitely go there again.

  • 4/5 Kutlwano G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly host and the breakfast was really tasty. The wifi connection isn't so strong in the rooms( almost non-existent at times) as it is in the common areas,such as the kitchen, lounge and dining area.

    I don’t even know where to begin, service, views, rooms, cleanliness, ambiance- all exceptional. The most gorgeous rooms with open plan beautiful baths and rainfall shower heads- just stunning. Hands down the best place I’ve said in a while- would recommend to anyone!

    A beautiful location with friendly people and staff. The food is excellent, the garden beautiful and the rooms are clean and tidy. Thank you for the 3 month stay.

    It's a home away from home. Clean rooms. I didn't enjoy the open shower thou, it made a mess on the floor and toilets. Maybe you can look into adding glass.

    You would be crazy not to come and stay at this wonderful place. It is the best kept secret in Johannesburg. We willnever stay anywhere else

  • 5/5 Stephen H. 1 year ago on Google
    We stayed for two nights due to safari in Krugar. Excellent value for money, close to J'Bourg Airport. The Willow Inn felt like home. Very secure in a gated area in Benoni. Francois could not do enough for us. We arrived as guest but left as friends. Thank you Francois

  • 1/5 Bongumusa S. 1 year ago on Google
    Two things that i was disappointed by, firstly i received a room i didn't book for. 3 beds while i had booked for one double bed. Secondly the water was cold in the bath. Also the room could do with an air conditioner.. Besides that, the place is nice and clean and the staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 Gail G. 1 year ago on Google
    Inadvertently stayed here a week after a change in travel plans and can't speak highly enough of the experience. The hosts are kind people modeling true hospitality. Beautiful grounds and rooms, tasty breakfast and easy walk to restaurants and bird sanctuary. In short, the perfect place to be waylaid a few days. Thank you Francois, Karen, Connie, & Christina.
