It is seldom that one has so many options for playing, relaxing and entertainment in one venue. During a recent visit Graham Cooke, President and Founder of The World Travel Awards, did in fact recommend that one should refer to the Fairway Hotel as a resort, due to its excellent facilities.
Entertaining options at The Fairway are aplenty, but Balata Restaurant deserves the first mention. Offering a variety of seating arrangements, vibrant décor colours and modern fireplaces, the restaurant is already famous for its outstanding breakfasts. Light business lunches are popular, but Balata will certainly become known for its exquisite fine dining under the leadership of Chef Warren Forster.
Bar Verve with its trendy ambience is perfect for a first date, a quick get together or just for unwinding after work. A secluded wine cellar hides behind Bar Verve and provides a sophisticated private venue for executives to have a drink after a long day of conferencing.
The Roundabout Bar has wonderful views over the golf course and is popular with the golfing fraternity who need to recuperate after a strenuous round of golf, or that drink on the way back home after a long day at the office.
The Vista Deck boasts spectacular views over the golf course and lends itself to the ideal opportunity to indulge in that much needed drink after a long day’s brainstorming. The Vista deck provides a sophisticated and stylish venue for cocktail parties or an intimate evening braai and incredible sunsets.
The Fairway Spa is situated to the left of the hotel entrance, nestled between the golf club and the hotel rooms. Soothing hues of blue and reflections of water and light greet spa guests as they enter the airy double volume lobby en-route to the relaxation lounge or their chosen treatment room. A sun deck, Café style Bistro and private gardens make this a wonderful destination for relaxation. With eleven treatment rooms, the spa is spacious enough to accommodate small pamper party groups, for leisure or business purposes. A dedicated hair salon and nail bar in Fairway Spa makes it possible to have tip-to-toe treatments at one destination.
Shopping: If you are anything like Carrie from Sex in the City who is famous for saying “I like my money right where I can see it - hanging in my closet”, you will be very pleased that The Fairway is just 2km from Cresta Shopping Centre and 11km from the famous Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square and Rosebank where international fashion brands rub shoulders with African fleamarket finds.
Activities: Boasting two outstanding golf courses, the Randpark and Windsor courses, the Randpark Golf Club may be contacted for golf bookings. A fully equipped gym is situated on ground level, close to the courtyard pool. A second pool is situated in close vicinity of the Golf Villas.
