Attaché Guest Lodge & Day Spa is a distinctive 4-star Victorian-style guest lodge and health spa on a 4-hectare tree-lined estate at 1 Olifantsfontein Road, Glen Austin Agricultural Holdings, Midrand — strategically positioned just 30 minutes from both Johannesburg and Pretoria, 5 minutes from the Midrand Gautrain station, and 10 minutes from Gallagher Estate, in a tranquil country setting that belies its location in one of Gauteng’s most important business nodes. With a Google rating of 4.3 (207 reviews), ranked #2 of 12 lodges in Midrand on TripAdvisor, Attaché combines 22 en-suite rooms including executive and self-catering suites, a Health and Beauty Spa, a restaurant serving full English breakfast and dinners, a bar, a gym, an outdoor pool with gazebo, 3 conference rooms accommodating up to 150 delegates, wedding venue facilities, an in-house shuttle service, and the extraordinary natural detail of trees surrounding the property attracting all types of bird life. Rates from R850 per night.

The Setting: Country Feel in the Heart of Midrand

Glen Austin Agricultural Holdings is one of Midrand’s last remaining large-stand rural pockets — a smallholding area adjacent to Rantjies Estate where country character and suburban infrastructure coexist. A definite country feel is experienced from the minute you enter through the gates — forgetting that you are in the heart of the city, you are able to relax and enjoy the afternoon sunset.

The trees that surround Attaché provide both the visual canopy that creates the estate character and a genuine ecological dimension: birds of many species are attracted to the property, making it a destination for amateur birdwatchers and guests who simply appreciate a natural environment.

The Victorian architecture gives Attaché a heritage character that distinguishes it from the contemporary corporate hotels that dominate the Midrand hospitality market.

22 Rooms: Executive Suites, Premium Suites, and Self-Catering

Attaché offers 22 rooms across four configurations:

• 2 Executive Suites — the most spacious option, suited to senior business travellers and honeymooners
• 4 External Suites — separate from the main building, with enhanced privacy
• 10 Premium Suites — the standard premium tier
• 5 Self-Catering Units — fully equipped and serviced, ideal for extended stays and families

Breakfast is included in the rates of most room types, with a room-only option available. All rooms feature air-conditioning, balcony or terrace, refrigerator, and free Wi-Fi.

Full English breakfast: R140 per person | Dinners: from R200.

Check-in from 14:00–20:00; check-out by 10:00.

The Health and Beauty Spa at Attaché is described as an affordable spa that is one of the specific draws for leisure guests. The full body massage is specifically praised by guests as exceptional. The spa provides the wellness dimension that makes Attaché suitable for romantic getaways, anniversary breaks, and stress-relief retreats in addition to business travel.

The combination of the Victorian-style buildings, the garden, and the pool gazebo creates a naturally romantic setting for weddings and intimate functions.

Outdoor Pool, Gazebo, Gym, and Restaurant

The gym makes Attaché one of the few Midrand guesthouses with an on-site fitness centre. The restaurant and bar serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner — the passionate personnel and delicious food praised in multiple reviews.
