Johannesburg - Close to the beating heart of Gauteng’s hub, you wouldn’t expect to find a country retreat, let alone the vintage glamour of the age-old English afternoon tea and the soothing beauty of a tranquil garden – but Gooderson’s Fabz Garden Hotel & Conference Centre in Lonehill proves that Joburg’s northern suburbs are more than clusters and shopping centres.
This beautiful boutique hotel is the picture of elegance. Exquisite English country gardens are the perfect backdrop for a gathering, complete with a good ol’ cuppa with scones, strawberry jam and cream.
Alternatively, you can simply get close to nature by stretching out on the lush lawns and terrace gazing out over the picturesque garden and tranquil dam.
The folks at Fabz say relaxing in the manicured gardens by day or sharing a delicious dinner in a magical outdoor setting at night is the perfect panacea for the stresses and strains of modern-day living.
The natural surrounds don’t stop with the garden. The elegant, country-inspired design and décor theme is carried throughout the hotel to the beautifully decorated accommodation.
All accommodation has recently been refurbished and upgraded.
The hotel offers a wide selection of family and superior suites as well as twin, double and single rooms which all have garden and lake access.
All rooms are equipped with en suite bathrooms, DStv, telephone and tea/coffee facilities.
The Fabz mantra is that its picturesque setting and great service will make guests truly feel like royalty.
