“Close to work and far from the madding crowd”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 20, 2012

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 convenient place to stay.

“Home from home an incredibly warm fuzzy feeling!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 15, 2012

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 warm hospitality Our cottage more than exceeded our expectations with 5 star finishes and everything you needed was right at our finger tips. The warm glow of the lit fire was a special treat to come "home" to and warmed the cockles of your heart. Breakfast was absolutely divine and sharing lovely stories with Anne-Marie (hostess & owner) was a rare treat.

De Kuilen Country House has the most beautiful surroundings and is close to all amenities, making your stay not only convenient but totally hassle-free. We would recommend this awesome retreat for business travel, family get-aways or a romantic weekend away.

Anne-Marie, a huge thank you to you and your amazing staff it was such a pleasure to meet you and stay over at your "TOP CLASS" guest house.

We truly enjoyed it so that we were quite disappointed when the electricity outage problem was rectified and we had to return home.

I look forward to making future bookings with for staff on their business travels.

If you would like to experience "A CUT ABOVE" guest house experience do not hesitate to contact De Kuilen - they'll make you feel right at home!

“A breath of fresh air!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2012

We recently booked an overseas business partner into De Kuilen as it was conveniently close to our offices in Fourways.

From the help, advice and friendliness we received from Anne-Marie when making the booking on behalf of our guest through to his absolute amazement at the accomodation, meals, service and surroundings - when he arrived need to be recorded

It is a gem of a place - and hidden away right in the middle of everything!

Highly Recommended

We at De kuilen can only hope to match the generosity of your review with a generous attitude towards our clients. Reviews like this are much appreciated by our staff who find them very motivating. Many thanks for the praise, we also enjoyed the stay of your associate who had not been to South Africa before - it was delightful to see everything freshly through her response to all that Johannesburg has to offer.

“The Art of Relaxing Is De Kuillen”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2012 via mobile

I had a family reunion at de kuilen cottages and had the experience of a lifetime. I stayed in the Treetop cottage and imagine waking up to birds chirping, a breakfast fit for a king served by ever smiling and courteous waiters and over and above it all, the wonderful hostess Anne-Marie waltzing around making sure everything is tiptop. Keep it up. Will surely return.
