Any feedback would be appreciated!
Sorry to reply to such an old question, but I figure it will be helpful to others doing searches.

The hotel's website says they have a free shuttle to the train station:
Complimentary Shuttle to Gautrain Station and the Nelson Mandela Square at Sandton City
I don't know how often it runs.

(I'm planning a stay at the end of December, to start an ex-JNB xONEx trip, and have been looking into how to get there and what to do on my one full day there, Christmas Day so not sure safaris or anything will be an option.)
