Boutique hotels Tamboerskloof

I had the best ever check-in, in my long history of staying in five-star hotels, at the Taj by Zim. She provided a high-level personalised service. Even after I had checked in, she was always trying to provide something extra for me whenever she saw me. She also ensured I also received good service at the restaurant. The hotel in general is good, clean and comfortable. The heated indoor swimming pool is a winner. I really liked it. I had issues with my shower, which was fixed, and the tap in the wash basin which was not dispensing hot water. This was not fully fixed. My only issue was with the provision of Vegan food during dinner. The general understanding of Veganism was limited. The burger is stated to be Vegan in the menu when it is not; it has yoghurt in it. This was day one. After explaining clearly I was Vegan, on day two, I got a soup with cheese in it. When the 'Vegan' meal arrived - it came with yoghurt as a side dish. It was only on day three that everything fell into place. Zim's interventions for me helped. The service staff were very good and always pleasant and supportive. It was a kitchen issue. I sat for almost two hours waiting for two dishes. Fortunately, this did not happen during breakfast as Chef Abdul showed me all the Vegan dishes daily. The Taj has a reputation which precedes itself. When I told locals I was going to stay in The Taj, they always responded with: "That's a very good hotel." It is also well located.

Not walkable and they only need more free shuttle accommodations. Transportation quite expensive even from the airport. Other than that it’s an amazing place

Excellent choice for overnight after an international flight arriving late afternoon. Restaurant has a short menu but is well executed. Clean and quiet rooms.

Property was great!

The staff at this hotel are excellent. From Hotel Ops to the F&B team. Subisiswe (Guest relations mgr) , Allistair and Atwell (F&B) and Amelia (front desk) were standouts

The best. Excellent staff who couldn't do enough for you. Loved it.
