The Cliffside Boutique Getaway

Our 3rd stay at this very special venue. Their home becomes yours, with attention to every detail. Inviting guests for an afternoon was consented to without hesitation. Thanks to the wonderful team at Cliffside for making our Jhb visits extra special each time.

Really nice staff. Very comfortable room. Great views. Good food. Good location. Spectacular views of the evening electric thunderstorms over western Joburg. The Ecopark behind the hotel has awesome views but is a tricky scramble. Take water and sun screen

Magical place, magical concept, or so it was in 2023. The owner has chosen a newer data collection model on its unsuspecting guests. Things that used to be friendly interactions between human beings are now sullied by e-check in and everything is data-collection based. Staff went so far as to mine personal information from a personal email and call the numbers they saw there. Bringing this to the attention of Paul Ronald Kinsley, the proprietor, has been all but ignored. The Cliffside Boutique's 9-Page "privacy" policy does appear on their website. Having been at this seeming paradise before and having such a beautiful stay, I did not think I was in peril. Everyone is so busy collecting data that simple things like towels in the lobby bathroom or making a traditional dish called Chakalaka were beyond their ability in the present moment, despite several loving requests. One true Gem of an employee they still have who has not yet been sullied and lost his soul, was Elias. He is a beautiful soul, genuine, considerate, generous, an all around authentic mzalwane.

Nice food, staff friendly and welcoming, good hospitality. The place is breath taking and peaceful, loved my room (sunset) actually loved everything about the place. I really enjoyed my stay wish it could have been longer. Really loved the romantic setup. Will definitely recommend this to my contacts.

The service provided at the hotel was fantastic alongside with the views and the food! It really felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket, the staff just made you feel so welcome! Me and my partner tried the fine dining menu twice and the food was simply wonderful! Not a single time was I disappointed! It is a bit secluded, around 30 minutes from Sandton but don’t let that shun you, Uber is very easy to use and you can be picked up and dropped of at the hotel at any time basically! To summarize, fabulous views, fantastic staff and a few days of peace and quiet with delicious food!

Everything at Cliffside is absolutely perfect, i.e Location, staff, rooms, facilities, breakfast & service - it was truly a”5-star” experience. Thank you Cindy and the team for making our stay amazing and also for all the little extra’s in the room (snacks, drinks, sunscreen, insect repellent, washing powder). We appreciate the delicious cappuccino’s and biscuits on arrival.
