I had an overnight in Jo'burg before continuing onward, and was looking for lodging that was close to the airport (but not ON airport). Outlook Lodge was great - I was picked up at international arrivals by driver, we were able to stop at an ATM outside of the airport; they offered to get take-away food for me that evening... more

I picked this because it looked quaint and I needed a night to rest before catching my morning flight for my Safari. After 24 hours of flights, I was hopeful but a bit nervous. Upon arrival at the Lodge, I knew I made a perfect choice. The manicured beauty of the gardens, the home feel and the welcoming of Robert... more

We debated staying at the Intercontinental at the airport or here...the 1st night we had to spend near the JNB airport we stayed at the Outlook...nice looking house from the exterior but the rooms are quite drab and the bathroom was very dated. We dealt with it given the hour and the early flight we had in the morning. The... more

My wife and I stayed at Outlook Lodge for a total of three nights in August ‘08 – two nights before our Kruger safari and one night afterwards. We recommend both the lodge and Outlook Safaris. The lodge is an attractive remodeled mansion in an upscale neighborhood on the east side of Johannesburg, only about 10 minutes from the airport.... more

From our airport pickup to our drop off we were really looked after. the lodge is in a lovely location and we were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. Leanne and the rest of the team couldn't have done more for us. They arranged a guide to take us to the apartheid museum (a great place... more

This large and lovely home with beautiful grounds is close to the Johannesburg airport, and a great place to stop overnight on your way to various South African safaris. The owners are fantastic and supremely helpful, memorably driving us all over town on a busy day to find a physio for my husband. Rooms are spotless, breakfast is fantastic, and... more

We went on a safari organized through the lodge. It was a great experience and the staff was incredibly friendly and committed to making us comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport (very close/great location) and organized events in Joburg for us. Would recommend it with enthusiasm to anyone. more

My husband and I took the economy Shosholoza Meyl train from Cape Town to Jo'burg so we could see some of the countryside (big mistake -- train was horrible!). We arrived at the train station 28 hours later, to find ourselves a bit nervous to be in the Jo'burg city center which all businesses have deserted as the crime has... more

I stayed here twice en route from Luanda to Lilongwe and back while in between flights in October 2007. The travel agent who booked my trip to Malawi recommended this place and I was very pleased with this find. As I live in Angola I frequently have to travel thorugh Joburg and this will now be my hotel of choice... more
