About GL Cottages

At GL Cottages our Management and team offer visitors and guests a haven of peace and tranquility in the midst of Johannesburg's thriving metropolis. Set high on the Observatory Ridge, where a number of national monuments are housed, it stands above the hustle and bustle of the city and provides those who visit an opportunity for reflection and renewal.

Nestled in a beautiful garden, the establishment offers the perfect venue for functions, business conferences, and retreat programmes for special interest groups with a capacity for up to 50 people. GL Cottages is ideal for training workshops, conceptual and think tank meetings, strategic planning, board meetings and team building and wellness.
