Convenient, perfect quick stopover. I enjoyed that Dove's Nest has a beautiful garden. It's like a home away from home. Another big bonus is the free airport shuttle. It's a pity there was no vegetarian breakfast option for me or even just fruit. One other area I feel Dove's Nest could improve on is the quality of the linen.

Ideal halfway house between home and the airport, avoid the traffic at OR Tambo! Yes, thank you very much. It was delicious!

Ideale halweghuis tussen tuis en die lughawe, vermy die verkeer op OR Tambo! Ja, baie dankie. Was heerlik gewees!

Value for money close to the airport. The guesthouse is located close to OR Tambo Airport, and offers a complimentary shuttle service that runs hourly from 05:00 to 23:00. Any additional transportation costs R50. There is not the annoying noise of aircraft as elsewhere in the Kempton Park area. The rooms are spacious and neatly furnished. The linen looks clean and smells fresh. Sufficient water and hot drinks are provided to ensure adequate fluid intake. Additional drinking water can be purchased at reception for R15. It is an inconvenience that the guesthouse does not offer evening meals. Apart from the airport, the Protea Hotel and its restaurant are fortunately located within walking distance of the guesthouse with a delicious menu. Breakfast is served between 06:30 and 09:30, but packed lunches can be arranged if you have to leave earlier.

Waarde vir geld naby aan die lughawe. Die gastehuis is naby aan OR Tambo-lughawe geleë, en bied 'n komplimentêre pendeldiens wat uurliks vanaf 05:00 tot 23:00 heen en weer beweeg. Enige bykomende vervoer kos R50. Daar is nie sulke hinderlike geraas van vliegtuie soos elders in die Kemptonpark-omgewing nie. Die kamers is ruim en netjies ingerig. Die linne lyk skoon en ruik vars. Daar word voldoende water en warm drinkgoed voorsien om genoegsame vloeistof in te neem. Bykomende drinkwater kan teen R15 by die ontvangs aangeskaf word. Dit is hinderlik dat die gastehuis nie aandete aanbied nie. Buiten vir die lughawe, is die Protea Hotel en sy restaurant gelukkig stapafstand van die gastehuis geleë met 'n verruklike spyskaart. Ontbyt word tussen 06:30 en 09:30 bedien, maar kospakkies kan gereël word indien jy vroeër in die pad moet val.

I was charged double for a booking mistake, leaving me very disappointed. We didn’t have a pleasant experience with Dove’s Nest Guesthouse. I accidentally booked the wrong date — the 25th of October instead of the 24th. The next morning, I realised my mistake and called the website to see if my booking could be moved to the 24th. They said they would see what they could do. About an hour later, I received a message confirming that my booking had been moved to the 24th. However, when my son arrived from America at 20:00, the guesthouse refused to let him in, saying the booking was only for the 25th. I spoke to the lady at the guesthouse on the phone — she said they did have space but that I would have to pay another R800 for the correct booking. After some discussion, I decided to just pay the R800 so my son could have a bed for the night after his long trip from America. In the end, I had to pay R1,600 in total for a simple booking mistake. Needless to say, Dove’s Nest will not see us again.

Sorry we chose this. The only plus was that it was closer to the airport. The place is very basic and old fashioned. Could get better value for money elsewhere. Mattress was old and worn out.

Spyt ons het dit gekies. Die enigste pluspunt was dat dit nader aan die lughawe. Die plek is baie basies en oudmodieus. Kan erens anders beter waarde vir geld kry. Matras was oud en uitgelee.
