Situated in the tranquil surrounds of historic Westcliff, The Westcliff Hotel’s cliffside setting makes for a unique resort-style layout with spectacular views over Johannesburg’s leafy northern suburbs. 

The hotel is a short drive from the many shopping malls Johannesburg is renowned for and just 22 km from O.R. Tambo (Johannesburg) International Airport. 

The hotel also offers easy access to key business centres and is within easy reach of numerous historical, sporting and adventure destinations, while being surrounded by a proliferation of character-filled suburbs.

The magnificent manicured gardens of The Westcliff cascade down the rocky hillside and are testament to its award-winning landscaping and maintenance by a team of resident gardeners.  Gorgeous roses, flowerbeds and lush greenery abound, making their home amidst charming cobbled pathways, courtyards and soothing water features.  Because the estate is built into a steep cliffside, microbuses and club cars transport guests around the property.  However, footlinks are available for guests who enjoy walking.
