Booking & Rates
Is It Cheaper to Stay at a Guest House or a Hotel in Sandton?
4 min read
Sandton hotel rates and Rivonia guest house rates can look similar on a booking site, but the headline number is rarely the number you pay. Hotels commonly charge separately for parking, breakfast, and sometimes Wi-Fi beyond a basic tier. Add those to a three-night stay and the gap opens quickly.
At Dunton the B&B rate includes a full buffet breakfast, fibre Wi-Fi and secure on-site parking, all inclusive of VAT. There is no resort fee and no per-vehicle parking charge. For longer stays our self-catering apartments let you cook for yourself, which removes the restaurant bill that quietly doubles the cost of a week away.
The other saving is location. Rivonia sits minutes from Sandton CBD without Sandton CBD pricing, so you get the same access to meetings and the Gautrain at a materially lower nightly rate. Guests on extended projects usually find the difference over a month funds a flight home.
Ask us for a quote on your exact dates — long-stay and corporate rates are not published and are almost always better than the online rate.
