    Reviews are from my Husband who stayed there. Whole apartment is big & fully equipped. Breakfast was very good. Location is nice with scenery near water. Mosquitos can be a bit of a problem at night.

    Only one thing, a bit scant on kitchen utensils so we couldn't really prep much food although there are cooking facilities.

    Lovely large comfy bed, nice gardens and lake, yet close enough to town. Very quiet and handy to have a coffee shop on site.

    We had a lovely stay at Bottom of Boden. The property is quiet and peaceful with lots of nature around but still close to shops and other places in Benoni. The owner was lovely and communicative and happy to provide anything we needed. The unit exceeded our expectations and was incredibly comfortable and all the small details were thought of! Despite our winter stay we were warm and cosy!

    Great place to overnight if you’re in Benoni area. In the countryside next to the water is an unusual residential location. Very pleasant stay. Large rooms and lounge with kitchen

    We really enjoyed the relaxing experience by the lake before catching a flight. It was exactly what was needed. The breakfast was reasonably priced and delicious, and the accommodation beautiful and spacious and clean. Thank you for accommodating us, we will definitely return.

    The owner was very attentive and catered to all our needs. The accommodation was clean and had all the amenities needed. Plus it's situated on the bull frog pan so there's many animals and birds nearby which we loved. The breakfast at the coffee shop was delicious and affordable. We will definitely be back!

    The situation is excellent. Close to the airport and in a green area by a little lake. The cottage was huge (no 5) and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable. The owner is lovely and was flexible on my late arrival time. The breakfast was really good for R100.

    Our usual retreat on returning from the UK. Lovely place to unwind after a long flight. Very nice hosts and lovely grounds. Units are well furnished, spotlessly clean and spacious. Lovely bath. Only negative is we find the bed very hard.

    I stayed overnight for my birthday. I wanted a tranquil place and Bottom of Boden definitely delivered that. Selma was an exceptional host, even offered me complimentary breakfast because it was my birthday. And the breakfast was delicious. The staff at the coffee was so kind. Bottom of Boden is a beautiful place with beautiful views. I even forgot that I was in Benoni. I will be coming back!
