    Peaceful, elegant, and Elna is an amazing host, pays attention to everything. Highly recommended if you need a quiet get away or to get some work done.

    This gem of a place is hidden in the concrete jungle. From the moment you step in you immediately feel like you're in some enchanted space. Their rooms make you feel like you've stumbled into a fairytale. The host (forgot her name😳) made us feel welcome and took care of us. I know I have to go back to Festina Lente for a weekend getaway all by myself.

    I cannot think of a better venue to stay. The rooms have been carefully stocked with everything from a writing corner to a period specific bed. The breakfast is simply superb!

    Nothing quite compares to Festina Lente. Each unit is uniquely curated. The lush garden and huge Oak and Jacaranda trees makes one forget that you are 3km from Sandton. A remarkable establishment which makes you return month after month.
