The lodge was perfect for us, arriving tired, dirty and jet lagged into Tambo airport before a safari. A kind Outlook staff member was there at International arrivals with our name on a printed sign, and he took us the 20 minute or so drive to the lodge in Benoni (a classy suburb of Johannesburg). We were met by Francois,... More

This was the best service I have ever received in the world. They went out of their way to help. I would not stay anywhere else. The food was wonderful, we ate breakfast and dinner. I loved the Lodge and the staff.

The Outlook Lodge was our last night in South Africa & it was a perfect ending for our SA holiday. Grinell was an outstanding hostess who helped us from the minute of our arrival until our departure. Our room was a suite, which accommodated my husband & I and our 23 year old son who was travelling with us. The... More

I chose this place just as a place to rest my first night in South Africa, but I got so much more. The place is lovely, the owner is so helpful, the rooms are big and beautifully decorated. I loved it!

I stayed at the Outlook Lodge for just one night, on my way home after a photo safari in Namibia. I was very happy with the service and staff. The driver that met me at the airport was professional and polite, and the hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. The rooms were large, warm and clean, and the food... More

Arrived late at night from Atlanta and dog tired. Francois, the manager, could not have been more accommodating. I asked if the Restaurant was open late and he asked what I felt up to eating as he would bring it to my room. Non-plussed, I got a knock at the door 10 minutes hence and was presented with a lovely... More

Had a lovely stay. Were made to feel very comfortable by Ronelle who went out of her way to ensure we felt at home. Had the best muesli and fruit salad for breakfast that I have ever tasted! Already looking at when we can book again.

Stayed one night as stopover in Johannesburg so wanted to be close to the airport. Francios was very friendly and helpful and the lodge had a warm, friendly atmosphere. Food was great and more than enough in quantity. Room was spacious.

On my first visit I was greeted at the airport arrivals hall by a punctual and friendly lodge shuttle driver. In less thatn 10 mins I arrived at Outlook Lodge situated in a leafy suburb in a gated security estate. The lodge has a warm friendly atmosphere.

If you're coming to Joburgh to visit the Kruger then the logical place to stay is Outlook Lodge. What a delightful place. Francios (sorry if the spelling isn't correct) is a great host and cooks up a mean cuisine!
