Tintswalo at Waterfall is a small intimate hotel offering exceptional cuisine and luxury. Positioned within the Waterfall Equestrian Estate, a 495 acre secure country estate less than a 10 minute drive north of the Sandton area of Johannesburg, between Woodmead and Kyalami; Tintswalo at Waterfall is only a 40 minutes drive from O R Tambo (Johannesburg) International Airport.

This boutique destination has a spectacular 360° view and is designed as a typical barn, with thick stone clad walls, double volume spaces and heavy bolted timber roof trusses. The 16 luxury rooms look out over the pristine polo fields, the estate dam and have superb views of the distant Magaliesberg Mountains and surrounding countryside.

The sound of croaking frogs, mellowed by a selection of birdcalls, are both soothing and indicative of country life. Add the lush green fields, and you have the illusion of an open countryside, even though the city's suburbs are not far away.

Insider's Guide:

• Intimate country lodge close to Johannesburg

Tintswalo at Waterfall is designed to emulate a barn, with thick stone-clad walls, double volume spaces and heavy bolted timber roof trusses. The simplicity of this design is offset by beautifully appointed rooms, earth tones, dark rough cut wood, steel and textured fabrics, juxtaposed with marble flooring and a center walkway, paved with bricks.

Each suite is individually decorated to the colors and characteristics of specific horse breeds. The en-suite rooms are spacious with views of either the dam or polo fields, leading onto a quaint balcony.

All suites have air-conditioning, heated floors, heated towel rails, a separate bathroom, flat screen TV, mini bar fridge, wireless connectivity, extra length king size or twin beds and international adaptors.

The Feedroom Restaurant within the hotel is Tintswalo at Waterfall group executive chef's signature kitchen. The desire is to meet all expectations of taste with an explosion of intriguing flavors. Food style is modern yet contemporary with worldwide influences. Frequent menu changes ensure the well balanced menus have the element of surprise, always offering a choice of starters, main course and desserts.

The delectable breakfast overlooks the polo field and serves fresh fruit smoothies, slithered salmon, chef-made muesli paired with seasonal fruit and yogurt is followed by an English breakfast (choice of bacon and egg or selection of mouth watering omelettes). Freshly baked miniature pastries served with a sumptuous homemade jam and coffee or a refreshing pot of tea make the breakfast an indulgence not to be missed.

Dinner in the restaurant focuses on quality. Unpretentious, fresh and tasty three course meals can be paired with superb wines and rounded off with a fine selection of cognacs, whiskeys and cigars.

Outside seating and a well stocked below ground wine cellar provide alternate unique dining and social experiences.
