We stayed at Chamonix Guest Lodge only one night after some fantastic days in South Africa because we had an early flight to Mauritius and it´s a place near the airport. It´s a nice place: the rooms are clean and it´s not far from the airport, you can hear the airplanes landing and taking off. But it has the worst... more

We had a one-night stopover in Jo'burg and booked the Chamonix on the basis of recommendations on Tripadvisor. We weren't disappointed - Welna was at the airport to meet us as arranged, the room was comfortable and well-furnished and we immediately relaxed after a long flight from the UK. Next morning we had a really nice breakfast with Welna before... more

On the basis of reviews here and the very good website ( http://www.chamonixguestlodge.com/ ) I booked two rooms for myself and a friend to stay over one night between flights in and out of Jo'burg airport. We found everything exactly as advertised on the website - we had made the booking there, and Welna responded very quickly by email with... more

My wife and I stayed just the one night en route to London. Efficiently met at the airport by our host Welna and whisked to our overnight accommodation. The guest lodge is just about perfect with modern, bright and clean rooms. The garden setting is beautiful with lots of places to sit and relax. If you can persuade Welna to... more

My house is 2 streets away from Chamonix Guest Lodge. The place looks quite nice from the outside - I mean the walls and garden so I thought I would book a colleague from Germany in there for one night. I have just been there (16th March 2008) to try and make a booking and see what the rooms look... more

The Chamonix Guest Lodge was a great place to relax after my wife and I took a long flight from New York to Johannesburg via Dubai. Everything I read about Johannesburg strongly suggested that we avoid driving at night (especially in a rental car), but the immigration process to so long that we were forced to do just that. We... more

As a white, 52-year old female making plans to travel alone from New York City to Johannesburg en route to Botswana, I was worried first and foremost about my safety. I went on-line and discovered the Chamonix Guest Lodge, which not only was advertised as being a mere 10 minutes from the airport but looked safe, serene, and beautiful. After... more
