De Kuilen is an oasis of tranquility and comfort in the bustling, fast paced city of Johannesburg. The warmth and generosity of the hosts is a rare find and the experience was more like staying with old friends than being just a guest in an accommodation establishment. I particularly enjoyed the authentic decor and gardens, and the dining experience was... More

All of us here at De Kuilen really feel delighted to receive such a nice review from a "new' guest who has not been to stay with us before. We were particularly pleased that our interpretation of a vegetarian diet was enjoyed! We love to make an effort with special diets - they can be just as delicious as our... More

De Kuilen is now our preferred accommodation for business trips in northern Johannesburg. From the time you drive through the gates you know you have found a haven of peace that feels worlds apart from the busyness of Sandton and Bryanston just a stone’s throw away. Old world charm, peaceful gardens and amazing service make this a very relaxing and... More

De Kuilen Country House welcomed my husband, daughter and I with open arms on an icy cold Jhb winters night. Whilst experiencing an electricity outage we decided to look for a B&B close to where we reside and there we found this magical haven on our door-step. We arrived only to be welcomed with a glass of red wine and... More

I have stayed at De Kuilen a few times and it has now become my preferred accommodation when on business in Gauteng. lovely to arrive to a bottle of champagne. The area has many restaurants but the best supper was at De Kuilen,top class food and presentation.

I had a family reunion at de kuilen cottages and had the experience of a lifetime.

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.
