“Great location, amazing spa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Ew Mowana spa is terrific. It wasn't the best massage I've ever had, but the local products did a huge makeover on my skin, and the set up is like have treatment in an oasis.
I've stayed at the Indaba twice, both times with great success. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location makes for shopping and whatever one may choose to get into at the casino.

The only downside is the food. I found it to be a bit bland and lacking in freshness or creativity.

The rooms in the newer sections are much better than the older ones. The 900 block rooms have French doors and a terrace.

Also, if you love birds, this is the place for you. Somehow it attracts quite a variety.

“Fantastic Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

We checked out of Indaba yesterday at 4.30am to head back home after 2 days in Gauteng.

I cannot fault this hotel at all. We had a great time!

The room was excellent, modern, new and very spacious.

The facilities were in a very good condition and everything was as it should be.

The best part is that it didn't cost that much. The location is great with lotsa of eating and shopping places nearby.

I highly recommend this establishment and it's not very far from Lanseria airport.

“No hot water”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

The new Mowana Spa is situated at the Indaba HOtel and offers great value for money. We stayed over at the Indaba Hotel after the Spa treatment. We had no hot water in our room, after waiting an hour for maintenance, they disputed our complaint and we checked out without having hot water.
The reception area smells terrible.

Room Tip: Request block 5, as this is closest to the infinity pool. It is private and secluded.

“Welcoming and comfortable hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 23, 2012

Stayed over one night on our way to Kruger early November, after long haul flight, and were made to feel welcome and well looked after. Yes the hotel is spread out, and if you can get a room at the back, you don't get the traffic noise. Otherwise the room is spacious, well appointed, and the food excellent. Choices for breakfast should suit even the fussiest of eaters. We were very happy and I wish we had had another night there to chill out.

Room Tip: Rooms away from the road are quieter.

“Lovely room.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012 via mobile

This hotel was the first stop on our recent tour of South Africa. The rooms are very spread out and I suggest you get a member of staff to show you the way. Our room was large and had a good bathroom. There is a supply of muffins and a hot drink machine near reception but not many people seemed to find it! Wish we could have stayed another night.
