Thanks so much for the wonderful stay I had over the weekend. Now I can see why my husband loves staying there so much!! Even though it was cold and miserable outside, it was warm and cosy inside.

Over the past 15 years I have stayed at Guest houses across South Africa. I would have to rate Ipe Tombe as one of the best. They have a very positive image and all the people I have dealt with are extremely professional. Pat is a real "honey" and always makes you feel important and special as though you are the only guest she ever has. I always leave the guest house with a great feeling.

Lovely ones, you really know how to do it. Now I am in Hileah, Florida, and this hotel is just crap. I booked because the pics on the web do not show the truth! I feel like I was in heaven at Ipe Tombe, and now I am in hell! lol
I repeat: Ipe Tombe is the best place I ever stayed.

Cannot recommend Ipe Tombe enough.  Pat and the rest of the team were as welcoming and hospitable and warm as anybody could possibly have been. The place, the staff, the food were all nothing short of perfect.

If we are ever in this beautiful part of the world again we will definitely be making the effort to stay here again.

Warmest thanks to you all for a real 'home from home' stay for our large family party at comfortable Ipe Tombe when we visited Midrand for our son's wedding in October 2009. The food, the rooms, the gardens, the pool, the position and most of all your friendly hospitality put the icing on our cake.

We really did enjoy our stay with you.. great introduction to South Africa. You all did so much to ensure that our stay was trouble free and genuinely seemed keen and interested in what we were doing and making us comfortable.... Thank you to all your staff... I have to admit to taking the insect cream with me, having started it, and it was invaluable!! Seriously though, we will add comment to trip adviser as everything was so good.

During my 8 month stint to Midrand (from Cape Town), I mainly stayed at Ipe Tombe Lodge. What a pleasant experience. Compared to some of the other 4 star rated B&B's this should be 6 stars! After a long day's work the Ipe Tombe team really made you feel at home - warm welcome, home cooked meal, room ready, Internet connectivity, desk to work from, pool to relax at. Even inviting friends over for a meal and some drinks is not a problem. What a great place to stay. Well done to the team (Pat, Bob, Leroy and Audrey) for maintaining such a high standard and making this Home away from Home. Leonard van Heerden

Best stay in Midrand

It is always a real pleasure staying at Ipe Tombe, foods great, hosts are always there to make your stay comfortable and the rooms have it all. I frequent Midrand weekly on Business and always stay at Ipe Tombe which is close to everything but on a safe access controlled equestrian estate.

Exceptional value for money, one of the few still in Midrand.
