Avant Garde Lodge

We recently had the privilege of staying at Avant Garde Lodge, and I’d describe the experience as simply wonderful. The staff there were all professionals and did their best to make us as comfortable as possible. Josie, who is an absolutely stellar person, made sure that we had everything we needed and then some. In addition to the outstanding quality of the service provided, the meals that were served at the lodge were outstanding. If you're searching for a place to stay on your next trip, I’d recommend giving Avant Garde Lodge a try. You won’t be disappointed!

I stayed very nice and cozy Air-conditioning working perfectly did not get cold Staff very helpful Breakfast excellent Thank you

Myself and a colleague attended a business meeting and had to stay over. this was the best decision ever to stay at Avant Garde. Not only did we receive excellent service from all the staff, but everything was a delight and pure pleasure: the rooms, the breakfast and especially the dinner!!!!! The lodge is a stone throw away form OR Thambo Airport and The Raddison Blue Conference Centre We will definitely visit again!

We just wanted a room by the airport as we were getting an early flight onto Victoria Falls and for that purpose this hotel was ok. However I am pleased we only stayed for one night as the hotel lacked any atmosphere, the food in the restaurant was not particularly good and that was no doubt reflected in the fact that we were the only ones in the restaurant. Breakfast was adequate although we didnt try the cooked breakfast

On arrival in Johannesburg we spent four nights at Avant Garde Lodge before setting off for Dinokeng Game Reserve. Our room was huge and provided everything required such as air conditioning, small fridge and a large ensuite bathroom. There is a pleasant restaurant for breakfast and dinner with a nice menu which is reasonably priced. The bar is on an 'honour' system so you can help yourself and note items purchased, again good prices, to be added to your final invoice. Surrounding the property is a large garden with dozens of shrubs, trees and flowers which attract an amazing array of bird to entertain nature lovers. Compliments to all the staff for their efficient and cheerful service. We also booked two nights prior to departure from Johannesburg and used the Lodge's airport transfer service both ways, again well priced at 200 Rand each way. Highly recommended for all travellers to and from O R Tambo airport.

We use Avant for personal and business purposes, its always first class service and hospitality. Lovely spacious rooms, great food and wonderful staff. Highly recommended.
