One O Eight Boutique Hotel

I can't say enough good things about this little gem of a hotel near OR Tambo (JNB) airport. With only 10 rooms, it's more like a bed and breakfast that feels like your own personal mansion. Rooms are large and luxurious. Common areas are gorgeous. Staff is friendly and attentive. The small restaurant serves delicious breakfast cooked to order, and a shuttle is provided to and from the airport. The hotel is located across the street from a large lake that doubles as a bird sanctuary, so sunrise is a spectacular treat. Please do yourself a favor and stay here for more than just a layover!

After careful research chose One O Eight as our overnight stopover through Jo'Burg Airport which turned out to be a perfect choice. They are very efficient contacting you before your arrival (Using WhatsApp.... if only all hotels did this for foreign visitors) to sort pick up time & place and even sharing menus in advance! We were greeted by the charming and very efficient Lungile who picked us up and returned us to the airport for our next flight. Perfect dining experience with their lovely chef Precious who really wanted to make us delicious food the way we liked it. Bedrooms are comfortable and well appointed with everything you need. Lovely views from the front, well kept garden with pool and comfortable sun loungers at the rear. It is situated in gated community around a lovely reservoir which made for safe exercise to walk around, a welcome respite from air travel.
