FOUR20 Bespoke Hotel Closed But our sister property hosts Veranda House — Hotel in Gauteng

Pros:

1. I love the farm and nature feeling of the venue
2. The staff is VERY friendly
3. I love the rustic feel of the place/venue
4. The beds are comfortable
5. the place has a lot of potential to be a beautiful and great hidden GEM.  I think once all the renovations are complete it could be a beautiful place
6. I live the RUSTIC feeling of the place
7. love the heated pool

Cons:

1. I stayed 1 night in a Deluxe room and there was NOTHING deluxe about it - as soon as you open the door you literally hit the bed.  It was very awkward and annoying.
2. I realise they are renovating but the noise was rather aggravating
3. they had a group they were hosting who were VERY loud and they set them up close to the rooms.... which was rather unpleasant.  If I had come for peace and quiet - I def didn't get that.  They should think of hosting BIG groups far away from the rooms.
4. In my deluxe room - the shower gel bottle was empty :-(
5. For a deluxe room - it was VERY cramped and felt crowded
6. there was NO closet space, they had hangers for clothers under the TV but hanging over a table with the coffee machine which makes NO SENSE 7)  I also stayed in a standard room - was disappointed. IT was cold as hell - colder than outside - especially coz  (its in a corner so no natural light), the shower didn't work properly, and the water literally goes into the room area.
7. In the standard room (#4) - there is no noise cancelling of sorts - you can hear EVERYTHING

Currently the hotel is a work in progress seeing as they are undergoing construction but if you can overlook this you can enjoy the simple pleasures of this hotel. Firstly, the rooms are exquisite and they have a natural and earthy feel to them. The only suggestion that I would make is to make cupboard space seeing as there is none and to possibly have bar fridges in the rooms. The restuarant which forms part of the place is absolutely stunning and the food was exceptional. The restuarant has an open kitchen and this gives it a cosy feel. The staff (allround) are attentive and well-trained which was very pleasing to see. The place itself is so magical. It feels like a great hidden gem in Gauteng. It's got a countryside atmosphere to it. You can find quite a few animals roaming around, out - door hot tubs overlooking nature and so many calming lake views. I can't wait for the finished result of the whole place. It is going to be breathtaking. But even based on my current experience it was superb and totally worth it. Go and give it a try and witness the beautiful growth that is...

I was actually disappointed from the parking lot. The whole construction work and renovations happening from the point of entry right through the restaurant is actually not on. Where were seated outside it was smelly of which we tried to understand because there are animals around but the flies were a complete turn off, however your food was delicious although we actually had to wait for a while before our order was taken. I’d suggest you temporarily close the establishment for a while and focus on completing the renovations because that’s not a pretty sight and view while enjoying your food and drinks. Would i recommend the spot? Most probably not,otherwise the food was scrumptious. Another thing my friend struggled with parking for a good 20 mins and there was no one to assist. Please look into that and the fact that there are no securities on site is a big concern.

The marketing was misleading. We almost didn’t get our promised 25%, should we have not stood our ground, we would have been ripped off.

Quiet concerning, would we go back, absolutely not.Even after the...
