10 2nd Avenue Houghton Estate by Dream Resorts

As American travelers in South Africa, we quickly learned that 'You are welcome' isn't just a polite response to 'thank you'—it's an open-hearted greeting. From the moment we arrived at Ten 2nd Avenue, we felt genuinely embraced. The hotel shuttle drivers were safe, friendly, and always ready with helpful tips. Every staff member we met was courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. They’d often call us on the hotel phone right when we realized we needed something—asking if we needed exactly that. Breakfast each morning was a delight, carefully prepared, and served with genuine care. The property itself was secure, spotless, cheerfully decorated, and beautifully landscaped. Our only regret? Not staying longer. We’re already planning our return visit!
