2013-06-10 : Having stayed at the Indaba Hotel in Fourways previously, I had no doubt that I would enjoy a foyer room again, close to reception and the other hotel conveniences without much difficulty. On arriving at the hotel, I was affably surprised to see the usual cheery faces and delightful surroundings; however nothing could prepare me for what came next. After checking in, a porter accompanied me to my room � a room we reached after many-a�winding road and bend were crossed. Finding myself so nonplussed and disoriented after the confusing walk, I found I really couldn't muster a "thank you" and as I tried to climatise in my new environment, I felt terrible about this. Those bags were heavy and he truly tried to mark the landmarks and show me the roads. I should have thanked him! Nevertheless after scolding myself for not specifically securing a room in the foyer (and filing in my mind the necessity of doing this for every booking in the future, together with the 'is breakfast included?' question) I ventured out and tried to find the pathway back to the mainstream road. Once I climbed down the stairs and passed the lovely pool and relaxation area (despite the icy June conditions), I found that the pathway to the road was only a few picturesque steps away. The "pick-up stop" was actually right there as well. No stress! Of course I had a daunting time explaining to my friends that were picking me up for dinner that evening how to get to me, but I must have done a good job for they found it rather easily. Although I felt a little isolated, it wasn't unsafe, nor beyond the usual hotel services that one can look forward to � like room service etc. I woke up the next day to a beautiful sunrise and as I left the room, I remembered the porter's kind words: call for a pick up just before you leave your room! Well I did that and was pleasantly surprised to see the vehicle as I approached the stop. Within minutes I found myself at the bustling breakfast area relishing the coffee and hearty meal. The conference was enjoyable and the amenities at the hotel perfect. While I often found hotel food bland and unforgiving, this was actually the second time that I enjoyed a scrumptious lunch at this hotel. The meals the following day were equally inviting and delicious and I really must compliment the chef on the attention to detail and exceptional taste. I left the hotel happy and satiated and would not hesitate to recommend a must-stay to anyone finding themselves in the area, whether for pleasure or business. Great service, great food � what else do you need when you are away from home! Reshma Kassie
