Mount Grace Hotel & Spa

This was a tranquil and romantic spot for a night away! We ate at both the Twist and Vine restaurants - Delicious food, We were treated to a very modern room. You are shuttled on golf carts to the various locations on the property. The Mount Grace Spa is probably the best spa we have ever visited. Not only the treatment, but the facilities are world class

The hotel is extremely over- priced and I think operating on its past reputation. It’s an ok four star hotel but nothing more and doesn’t remotely justify its rates. Breakfast is ok but doesn’t compare to the other southern sun hotels in Johannesburg. Dinner was also ok , but nothing special. Rooms are nice if a bit dark and gloomy. The plunge pool is fairly pointless. The bathroom was enormous which didn’t serve any purpose.

Mount Grace has been on our list of places to visit for sometime. We finally got the opportunity earlier this year and were not disappointed. Check-in went smoothly and the layout of the hotel was well explained. We had booked one of the Executive Suites. Once the formalities were over we followed the golf cart to our parking area, unloaded and onto the golf cart for the rest of our journey to our room. Our suite was excellent with everything you would want, including the plunge pool. We were still exploring our room when we had a call from reception informing us that they had found a problem with the pool and we were to be given a new suite. If that was not service from the first minute I'm not sure what is. So back onto the golf cart and to our new suite. We spent the next few days relaxing by our pool, wandering through the beautiful gardens and pathways. Meeting up with a variety of birdlife and the occasional dassie. Breakfast in the Twist was very good. Picked up your Mimosa on entry then a great selection, from full English to fruit and yoghurt and everything in between, the Danish pastries and pancakes a real treat. If there is one point with the breakfast to be aware of it is the timing, either go early or leave it until a bit later as it can get very busy at times. We also had great meals at both the other restaurants. The Rambling Vine is the more al a carte with some great meals and wine to choose from. The Terrace and Stoep is moe informal but still does some great food. You can sip away on your cocktail and take in some of the views. Staff at both are friendly and service is good. The main bar has a good atmosphere and we spend most night here enjoying our selves. It can get a little noisy if there are a lot of children about, but there are other spaces near by if you do want a quiet drink before or after your meal. Would recommend the Mount Grace if you are looking for a relaxing weekend away.

Television quality extremely poor. Bathroom basin plug leaking. I expected better room decor from this venue. Room not sound-proof with television sounds from neighbouring room being very disturbing - feels like a privacy issue. Overall room experience not at all what I expected from this venue..

Most accommodating and genuinely friendly staff. Amazing location and facilities. Great spa with extensive list of treatments. Rooms are huge. Great buffet breakfast, and good a la carte dining options. Best of all is the tranquility of the hotel and surrounds.

I booked an Executive premium room for the weekend. My previous experience felt like the rooms were outdated so I asked the helpful reception desk, a gentleman name Quinen if he could tell me if any of the rooms were upgraded. He said they testing a concept and if I would like to try out the new room. Got room 201 and I must say the room was amazing… new look and feel and the heated pool was awesome. I just had a problem with the TV where I could not get any channels for the entire stay. If it was not for the TV I’d definitively say the rooms were really impressive and I’d definitely be coming back.
