The place is beautiful on the side full of trees and flowers, there's couples of construction happening, not disturbing though. Clean rooms ND enough parking. The owner by the name of Stevie, very kind humble gentle man. He was there when we needed anything and made sure we had a pleasant stay. Very great host.

We spent a restful night at the Blue Mango between flights. It is conveniently near OR Tambo airport, yet in a quiet part of Kempton Park. Lovely, lush garden; clean and comfortable room. Our host, Daisy, was very warm, welcoming and interesting. We had a great chat over dinner.

An excellent resting place after a busy day. Away from the city noise though it is in the big city. Enjoyed the peaceful sleep and being wakened by the sound of beautiful birds. Will definitely come back.

The place is suitably located very close to the OR Tambo airport, the staff is friendly, very neat all around. The food is top notch, you cannot get the freshly cooked, healthy and unique dishes personally made by the owner/chef.

This is a cute guest house not far from the airport. Stevie and a friend picked the 8 of us up from the airport and after we settled in, we were served a delicious meal under the stars. The next morning we were up early as we had a long trip ahead of us. Stevie packed us a wonderful breakfast for the road. Great service!

Great little lodge just outside of the airport. Stayed for one night. You pay less but get more compared to the regular airport hotels. They have a very unique restaurant. The hosts will look after all your needs and make sure you are well looked after. Dont stay at the airport hotels. Experience a bit of the real South Africa. Restaurant is something very special.

I have stayed at Blue Mango several times over the last few years, and once took the whole family there when they came to visit from the U.S. It's conveniently located next to the airport, the rooms and beds are very comfortable, and the dinner and breakfast are always outstanding. Stevie is a great host and always working hard to please the guests. This is a great hidden gem.

It was like staying in a friend's large house. My bedroom and ensuite bathroom were spacious and clean. The extensive gardens provided a restful environment where it was so easy to relax. They were full of shrubs, trees, flowers and bird life. Stevie was a great host and a fine raconteur.
