The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK

City Lodge Pinelands

"Had a great stay. The airport shuttle is quite costly (was quoted R520) so ended up Ubering. The food from the kitchen is really good and worth the try. The breakfast is only available from 6:30am. All in all, I enjoyed my stay. The staff is friendly and the rooms are really clean."
