About Festina Lente Guesthouse

At Festina Lente Guesthouse, (which means haste slowly in Latin), we believe that anything worthwhile can only be made over time with love and dedication. Superbly located, we are only two minutes away from the well known Sandton City Shopping Centre and the Sandton Gautrain Station.

Despite being in the centre of busy Sandton, Festina Lente Guesthouse is a sanctuary of peace and tranquillity and our wish at Festina Lente is that you will leave looking forward to your next visit.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Verified reviewexcellent

My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodation and friendly service of Elna. We stayed in the "Delft Penthouse" and found it extremely spacious and well appointed. I can highly recommend it to anybody wishing to stay in the surrounds of Sandton City.
