I attended a memorial service here so cannot spe ulate on the rooms. Everything else, however, was amazing. Friendly staff. Delicious food and the venue itself is breathtaking. I would just caution anyone driving there to be careful on the road leading up to the venue. More holes than tar. Stressful to say the least.

I recently got married at Gracia de Dios and what a wonderful experience. From the spectacular gardens to the stunning chapel and reception area, it’s hard to believe this venue is based in Benoni. A huge thank you to Susan and her team for taking such good care of us. From planning (in less than 4 weeks) to executing, the team were exceptional. For the accommodation, the rooms are exquisite and very comfortable to stay in. They are very modern and have all the amenities one could need while staying over. The catering was also superb and everyone enjoyed their meal! Overall, the best hidden gem in Benoni and I highly recommend this venue for your wedding or any other special occasion.

Amazing amazing stay. The drive to the hotel was Abit shady, scary and feels unsafe within the neighbourhood but the hotel is extremely well secured. When I entered the premises, it felt like a different world as compared to it's neighbouring surroundings. The hotel layout felt like it's your home, so cozy clean and comfortable. Also special shout-out to Marko for arranging my booking at the very last minute and allowing a super late check-in. Self check-in was carefully instructed by Marko and everything was smooth and idiot-proof. Marko even texted to check everything was good. Appreciate it a lot. Price was also affordable, it was a steal for this quality of hospitality. Thank you to the team.

My parter and I had our engagement party at this venue and it was truly phenomenal! Susan was very thorough and made the entire process completely stress free. It was the exact day we had imagined, and we are so grateful. The food was delicious, the cocktails were great and the setting was perfect! We also stayed at the accommodation, which was beautiful, very modern and comfortable.

I've had the pleasure of attending a few events at Gracia De Dios, and this venue truly has it all! Whether you're planning a wedding anniversary, a milestone birthday, or any other special occasion, Gracia De Dios is the beautiful setting. The lawn is simply breathtaking, and the venue caters to all ages, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings and events with kids. There are also some jungle gyms for kids, etc, but it's also a perfect event for adults only. The indoor swimming pool is a stunning feature that's sure to impress your guests. The staff is friendly, fast, and helpful – they truly go above and beyond to ensure your event is nothing short of spectacular. While I haven't had the opportunity to stay overnight, I'm sure the accommodations are lovely. However, I do want to warn that the road leading up to the venue is in very poor condition, with many potholes. And, if you're not staying over or living close by, I would strongly advise against driving home at night. Overall, Gracia De Dios is a fantastic choice for any special event. Just be sure to plan ahead and make arrangements for transportation or accommodations, if needed. And book ahead. It seems like they are popular and usually busy.
