    The collection service from the airport was excellent. Large room and ensuite. Bar drink available even when arriving at 22.45. Very good choice at breakfast. No hesitation in choosing Avant Garde when arriving at Johannesburg airport again.

    It is a nice place for stopover at O.R. Tambo. Very friendly staff, one can relax very good on the property's garden, they serve good food. We did arrive already before noon and it took only 20 minutes to get our room set up. We used another accomodation for stopover four days later and can confirm that Avant Garde Lodge was better.

    Can't think of anything.

    The hotel arranged everything for us, airport transport etc. They provided dinner as well as breakfast in the price of the room. Communication was excellent ahead of time. The hotel and grounds were unexpectedly beautiful. The price was excellent.

    Pick up waiting at airport even when flight was nearly 2 hours late arriving. Friendly check in staff and owner. Beautiful accommodation but nothing close by unless you have a car. Breakfast was a set price $15 which was a bit expensive when you don't eat much.

    The room feels a little old and the lights were a bit too dark. The images of the pool were misleading.

    Very cozy, feels like staying in a huge private villa, the staff and the owner are very friendly and helpful. Excellent choice for staying near the airport, recommended!!

    On the description on booking.com they have stated that electric blanket is included, which it wasn't. They either need to add those or remove it from booking.com. Having said so, the room was warm and comfortable.

    I normally never write reviews about my stay in other lodges because often I am disappointed by what I find. On this occassion however, I thought I will write because the place has exceeded my expectations. It's quiet, comfortable, more like home away from home. The food was great and staff attentive.

    Beds rather hard and not the most comfortable, rooms could use a bit more maintenance and fixing of items not working properly.

    Loved having airport shuttle prearranged and close proximity to airport for early morning flights. Rooms were nice size.

    Coming home to Africa is what our stay at the Avant Garde Lodge feels like every time. This was our 3x time we were there, the 4th time is already booked. Super nice place close to the airport and for us ideal to start and end your Southern Africa roundtrip. Armand and his team are super hospitable and deliver great service. See you soon.

    This place is a heaven just a few km from the airport. They have a good restaurant for dinner and drinks. After booking 1 night we added a day use of Rand 900 (march 2023) to use the room until we had to go to the airport at 21.30. So we could enjoy the place the full day, the food, the pool within a beautiful green, quiet area and lovely people at the hotel. Instead of hanging around the city a full day, we could relax and go to our flight back home totally fresh and relaxed.
