We recently booked an overseas business partner into De Kuilen as it was conveniently close to our offices in Fourways. From the help, advice and friendliness we received from Anne-Marie when making the booking on behalf of our guest through to his absolute amazement at the accomodation, meals, service and surroundings - when he arrived need to be recorded It...

I had a family reunion at de kuilen cottages and had the experience of a lifetime. I stayed in the Treetop cottage and imagine waking up to birds chirping, a breakfast fit for a king served by ever smiling and courteous waiters and over and above it all, the wonderful hostess Anne-Marie waltzing around making sure everything is tiptop. Keep... More

We, at De Kuilen, were charmed and delighted to be thanked for being the venue for a large family re-union - over several days of perfect late Summer Johannesburg weather. We are particularly pleased to see that our main members of staff, who have been trained entirely at De Kuilen, through our in-house training programme, have received such warm recognition.... More

From arrival we were welcomed to a peaceful cottage with a bottle of sparkles. The rooms were warm and welcoming. Breakfast was better then a 5 star hotel! The birds and trees were restful for the soul. Value for money. More

This place is an enigma, situated safely (in a secure estate) hidden away from the hustle and bustle from Joburg, yet only 10-15 mins to Sandton in peak traffic, why isn't it packed ?.This provides business travellers like me the opportunity to retreat from the commotion of Sandton to retreat in the tranquil surrounds of its four acre gardens and...

De Kuilen Country House is a perfect retreat from the jostle of Johannesburg. Being set among beautifully kept gardens tranquillity descends upon you the second you arrive. There are many comfortable areas for you to sit back and relax from the sheltered veranda in the courtyard, the front terrace and the drawing room. The décor and finishing’s throughout the house...

This was our second stay at De Kuilen and we want to go back. It's like we need regular doses of the excellent hospitality, peaceful and tranquil surroundings, delicious meals and feel-at-home comfort. Not to mention that it's great value for money. The location is easily accessible, so you won't be driving around in circles. The rooms are so comfortable... More

The De Kuilen is a real find! It is conveniently situated not far from Sandton City and within easy reach of all the places you would want or need to visit in Johannesburg.
