Idwala Guest House

Still an insider tip for both South African and international travelers, Idwala offers guests a luxurious and quiet retreat where they can relax and immerse themselves in an exquisite stylish atmosphere. This unique Guest House focuses on personal service and attention to detail to make every guest feel like royalty. Originally built over a hundred years ago as a Farmhouse, Idwala was skillfully restored in 2006 and transformed into a luxurious Guest House & Conference Venue.

All rooms look out onto the peaceful and beautifully landscaped gardens. Whether you are relaxing by the feature rock pool in summer or reading a book from the library in front of the roaring fire in winter, you will find a space that suits your mood. All public areas offer a sophisticated and modern ambience with the highest standards in elegance and style. Idwala’s philosophy is to prepare only the freshest local ingredients aiming for a truly culinary experience. Every morning starts with a sumptuous breakfast buffet, offering an appealing variety of delicious fruit, pastries, cereals, selected cheeses and cold meats as well as a full English breakfast. Lunch and dinner menus are seasonal and tailor-made to accommodate the dietary requirements and tastes of our guests.

Idwala is situated conveniently in the middle of Johannesburg in the upmarket leafy - green suburb of Darrenwood, away from the hustle and bustle of the large city and yet just a few minutes away from Cresta Centre, one of the largest and most popular shopping centers in Johannesburg.
