Even though the "lake" the hotel is supposedly on has been drained for years they still call the hotel "Waterfront". But, more importantly, I would totally use this hotel again. Magnificent breakfast buffet, clean rooms, comfortable beds, great customer service. What's not to love? Light bulb burned out in bathroom "BAM" they fixed it. Fresh in-house purified bottled water brought... More

This bed with these pillows was heavenly. I have to have those pillows. Have to have them. I read the reviews before I got there and it seems others had a problem with the desk staff, I did not. It was comfortable and the internet worked as advertised. Great bar, decent food, and perfectly located if you don't have to... More

I helped facilitate a conference at the Protea and felt lucky to be given a suite for 5 days. The room was nice and quite. Unfortunately it was Wintertime and the hotel was not well insulated so I never got my room to a good temperature. Additionally, I had to walk out side to go to all meals in the... More

My wife and I stayed here for 2 days prior to our South Africa Tour. Hotel manager was very helpful with suggestions for transportation to tourist sites - Tourists are not recommended to take taxis, busses or trains in the Johanesberg area. Best to get a tour company - very expensive- instead. Most of the places that we went to... More

Stayed in Protea Waterfront for a week in October 2011. I had a self catering apartment, which means you have a comfortable living room, nice bedroom.
