Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Sandton, Johannesburg

Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel, Sandton, Johannesburg

After a long day’s drive, we arrived in Johannesburg to check into the lovely Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel.

Reception is located on the 3^rd floor, accessible by lift from either the underground car park or the street level entrance (which is where the Concierge Desk is located).

On check in, the type of room (a double room) we had booked was not available so we were kindly upgraded to a Business Class Room – Room 402 – a spacious room and bathroom on the 4^th floor.

41 on Market, Vryburg, South Africa

Room 1

On a recent road trip in South Africa, we had intended to stay at Mokala Game Reserve near Kimberly however taking a wrong turn meant having to change plans and look for accommodation in Vryburg late in the afternoon on a Wednesday evening in September. Who would have thought that the B&Bs we phoned would all be full? There was a car rally in town on the weekend and guests had arrived early in the week and it seemed the whole town was fully booked.

But then we tried 41 on Market – success. We were able to book a double room.

41 on Market has only been opened about 12 months so everything is clean and new. It occupies a renovated older-style building with large rooms, high ceilings and big windows in the main street of Vryburg.
