Working from Sitatunga: Wi-Fi, desks and solar power

By Greg Walker-Deemin · Updated October 2026

Many of our guests work while they stay, some for a night, some for a month. Here is what to expect when you open your laptop at Sitatunga.

Fast Wi-Fi, everywhere

Fibre at 500 Mbps down and 200 Mbps up, free for every guest. It covers the whole property, the garden included, so a call by the pool is fine.

A real desk in every room

Every room has a work desk and chair, air-con that cools and heats, tea and coffee, and its own entrance and private terrace for a break between calls.

No power cuts

The lodge runs on solar power with backup water, so outages in Johannesburg don’t reach your room.

Quiet when you need it

We are on a quiet, leafy street in Rivonia. Quiet hours run from 21:00 to 07:30.

Calls, meetings and printing

  • Calls and informal meetings: the lounge works well. There is no private meeting room at the lodge.
  • A proper meeting room: the conference centre at Liliesleaf is about a 10-minute walk from the lodge.
  • Printing: a few pages are free at reception. Larger batches are printed at an extra cost.

Meals and the small things

  • Breakfast is included with rooms: 7:00–9:30 on weekdays, 7:30–10:00 at weekends, and packed to go for early flights (order by 10:00 the day before).
  • Dinner every evening: a home-cooked set menu, served in the breakfast area or in your room. Book it by the day before.
  • Laundry by the item: hand it in at reception and it’s back the next day by 08:00.
  • Restaurants 5 minutes away: see our picks.

Staying longer

You get 5% off every 7 nights, up to 15%, and a free one-way airport transfer for stays of 4 nights or more (7 or more in the apartment). For longer stays, our self-catering one-bedroom Oryx apartment (3 nights minimum) has monthly rates on request.
