Looking for a stay in Sandton that feels more like a garden retreat than a typical hotel?

Yes, and that's exactly what we built here. Rivonia Premier Lodge sits among the trees in central Rivonia, forty-five rooms spread through a proper garden estate, with thirty years of doing this quietly and well. If you've been scrolling through hotels in Rivonia hoping for something with a bit more green and a bit less glass tower, this is it.

Mornings start on the patio, with breakfast served from 06:30 and a health-food buffet alongside cooked-to-order options by the pool. Evenings wind down the same way, with dinner by the pool until 20:30 — just let the front desk know by four if you'd like the à la carte menu that night. It's the kind of rhythm that makes a stay feel like a retreat rather than a stopover, even though Sandton is only minutes away.

That mix of calm and convenience is really the point. The Gautrain bus stops half a kilometre from the door, the N1 interchange is a kilometre off, and Sandton City is about seven kilometres away — so whether you're here for meetings, shopping at one of five nearby malls, or just passing through, you're never far from where you need to be. For anyone comparing accommodation in Sandton or looking at guest houses in Rivonia, that balance of garden setting and easy access is hard to find in one place.

We also cater well for business trips, with family units and self-catering rooms for longer stays, plus a conference room that adapts to whatever the day calls for — boardroom, U-shape, classroom or informal, with secure parking right at the door. Breakfast is included with every room type, including self-catering, so however you're staying, the garden and the kitchen are part of the experience.

With a 4,7 star rating from 527 Google reviews, we like to think our guests feel the difference the moment they walk in under the trees. If you're after a place to stay in Sandton that feels like an oasis rather than just another hotel room, we'd love to have you.
