What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences
Unique Accommodations
I loved how unique each of the four rooms are at Thornton Gap. The light fittings and art on the walls truly set it apart from standard hotels, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. It felt like staying in a beautifully curated space rather than just a typical guesthouse.

Delicious Breakfast
The breakfast was a highlight of my stay! There was a diverse selection of options, complete with a fantastic coffee machine. I particularly enjoyed having unique condiments like Tabasco sauce, which is not something you’d expect at a guesthouse. Each morning was a good start to my day.

Thoughtful Bathroom Design
The bathroom design was incredibly thoughtful. I appreciated the L-shaped mats around the shower area, making it easy to shower effortlessly. Plus, the lack of a door created an open, airy experience which I found refreshing and convenient.

Cozy and Comfortable
My bedroom at Thornton Gap was exceptionally well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like home. I loved the attention to detail and the cozy decor that made resting easy after a long day of exploring Johannesburg.
