It was a beautiful experience, and the spirit of Gandhi is still preserved in the way that the place is run.

Apparently the food needed to be preordered, which I was not told. Anyway, that accommodated the request, which I appreciated, but when a so-called '6-course' meal appeared, the food item list contained trivialities like water and chutney listed like a course item. The amount of salad served was literally half a table spoon. The chutney served was a size of a thumbprint. Frankly couldn't even tell if it was a chutney. The serving of this frugal six-course meal took 1 hour and 40 minutes. Tiny portions served after long durations. This was really the only downside of the stay, and the management needs to seriously rethink this aspect... I am stating this only to benefit future travellers. All other aspects of the stay were beautiful.

Absolutely wonderful. One of my favourite places and most beautiful accommodation experiences I have ever had in all my years of extensive travel. To be able to stay in the very house where Ghandi lived and designed Satyagraha is extraordinary and deeply moving, an opportunity not to be missed. On top of this , it is beautiful, peaceful, exccedingly comfortable, and the staff are awesome, so kind, and go out of their way to make it a great experience for you. All staff were lovely, but special warm thanks to Kaniswa , and to John the caretaker and gardener, who do a wonderful job and are very kind. Tip: There are no restaurants particularly close, but Kaniswa very kindly helped me organise uber eats from a recommended restaurant, and it was lovely to eat onsite anyway. A lovely breakfast is provided.

There was nothing I didn't like. It was wonderful. However if I were to make one suggestion it would be about price ... such an experience, of course, is priceless, but the high price for a room makes it a one-night-in-a-lifetime experience for a budget traveller like me, when it would be really lovely to spend more time there. Also people with more money might be more likely to book somewhere more luxurious. So maybe a reconsideration of price might be a good idea ... ?

Wonderful place in Johannesburg! The Gandhi’s house and museum is a must seen. The atmosphere is fantastic and the food is good and healthy, and is served in the Gandhi’s house We had a massage for free upon our arrival.

The shower needs a door so the water doesn’t spill on the floor and on the toilets

The breakfast was excellent. Satyagraha House is my go to destination for both local and international friends and visitors.

It is an exceptional facility. The staff are committed and utterly charming. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

It is in a nice setting and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

There was no back up power. We had no electricity for 10 hrs each day. Couldn’t charge our phones and no Wi-Fi during this time. For the amount of money we paid we expected a generator or some kind of backup power. There was also no hot water and heat in the room. At 45 degree weather it was not a comfortable stay.
