10 2nd Avenue Houghton Estate by Dream Resorts

Choose this hotel for our final night in South Africa. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. Room was a large suite and given the time of year the gas fireplace gave a great warmth and glow to the experience. A quiet location and the feel of staying in a grand home. We had a car and the location has easy access to the expressway so we could get around easily. Met all of my expectations.

In South Africa, we American tourists learned quickly that “You are welcome” is a greeting. Rather than a response to “Thank you,” “You are welcome” is an initial announcement. And we felt completely welcomed from the moment we arrived at Ten 2nd Avenue. The hotel shuttle drivers were safe drivers, friendly and ready with advice. The entire hotel staff was courteous and considerate. Often they would call us on the hotel phone, right at the moment we realized we needed something and ask us if we needed that exact thing. They prepared a lovely breakfast for us each morning and genuinely cared whether we enjoyed it. The hotel was safe, well secured, clean, cheerfully decorated, and beautifully landscaped. My only regret is that we could not stay longer. We hope to visit again!
