Johannesburg - Idwala Boutique Guest House is in Darrenwood, a quiet and leafy northern suburb of Joburg, within walking distance of the Cresta Shopping Centre. Although it is central, it has a bush lodge feel and a tranquil setting.
Idwala means “rock”, which refers to the main building elements (rock and thatch) of the original farmhouse, built around 1900.
In a major renovation the property was converted to a luxury boutique guest house, offering nine spacious rooms, two self-catering cottages, a restaurant, conferencing, business facilities and spa treatments. For guests who are new to Joburg, Idwala’s team assists with concierge services, such as golf bookings and green fees, restaurants, day tours, directions, and more.
