米德兰德 · 整套民居 · 4室4床3.5卫 · 可住8人 · Large Contemporary Lodge
A large contemporary Lodge located in an exclusive, private and quiet gated community. Staying at Aloe Lodge gives you a sense that you have left the hustle and bustle of city living. With beautiful valley views, breath taking sunsets and being situated in nature with amazing bird life, you cant help but feel relaxed. The perfect urban hideaway. The garden is indigenous so naturally the grass becomes dormant and the trees drop their leaves from mid-April - August. Situated within a security gated area, this private lodge has a been designed to give a game lodge feel. With extensive lawns, boma (firepit), Springbok and tortoises roaming. It is a bubble of tranquility amidst the vibrant energy of Johannesburg. The interior design can be described as modern meets eclectic, giving it a resort atmosphere. Cemented screed floors, some purposely rusted decor elements, wrap around balconies, charcoal coloured 22m length swimming pool, out door shower and bath allow for a bush lodge experience. The large main entertainment verandah over looks a treed valley and lawns giving a perfect spot to relax or entertain with ease.
An awesome place to relax, and close to main attractions in the city but having a country feel. I really found the place very relaxing when the buck was roaming around. A beautiful place to stay. Albert the caretaker made things easy for me. What a wonderful chap. Garry was friendly and only a phone call away when I needed something.
Gary and Sarah’s place feel like being out of the city, yet being quite central to a lot. The beautiful and endless indoor space then a large and endless garden, boma area, buck running around and just the perfect escape. Being at this house always feels like home and I can’t wait for my next trip. Watching an outdoor movie in their comfortable boma was probably one of favourite experiences to date. Nothing dramatic, but so beautiful, so peaceful and what lovely, accommodating and helpful hosts Gary and Sarah are. It’s always lovely seeing them and using their space in realising any vision - what a beautiful space and lovely hosts!
Our recent stay at this property offered a mix of breathtaking aesthetics and disappointing interactions, leading to a rather mixed experience. The house itself is undeniably beautiful, nestled in a safe and secure area, however, our experience was significantly overshadowed by our interactions the host Gary. Despite clear communication and full payment confirming our plans to host a party—a use case stated as acceptable in the property’s description—Gary’s behavior once guests arrived was not only unprofessional but also deeply disrespectful. His claims of no longer hosting parties and derogatory comments about our group were both shocking and hurtful. Furthermore, his treatment of his partner and co-host, Sarah, in front of us was unacceptable. While Sarah attempted to mediate and apologize for the situation, Gary’s aggression towards her only added to the discomfort of our experience. Respectful communication and treatment of guests and partners alike are paramount in hospitality.
An absolute beauty! I’m from JHB, but needed a moment “away” from Joburg along with my husband and friends, while in Joburg and what a beautiful escape. The pics couldn’t do the home justice. It’s a great example of “You just HAD to be there.” Gary and Sarah were such lovely hosts, and even through unforeseen circumstances beyond their control, we felt accommodated, well assisted and supported. We can’t wait to make our way back. See you soon.
I booked on behalf of my client who was travelling to SA for the first time. Gary and Sarah were exceptional hosts, went out of their way to recommend things in the area and to ensure their guest would be as comfortable as possible. I can only hope that I get to book for myself soon! Highly recommend x

Uber available 24/7. walking distance to food market.
自我介绍
Hi there! My name is Gary, and I have been living in Johannesburg for over 30 years. I love travel and experiencing new places and new architectural and interior design. The South African bush style with large windows, large outdoor living areas has inspired many of the houses, lodges and business premises that I have been involved with the design and build. I hope that you enjoy this authentic but contemporary 'take' on South African architecture and interior decor. Looking forward to meeting you!
