Hotels and sleeping at Johannesburg Lanseria Airport

Lanseria Airport is quite far from the nearest towns, so an early morning departure may be worth spending the night near the terminal.
Overnight in the terminal - opening hours
The Lanseria Airport terminal closes about 30 minutes after the last flight and opens about 2.5 hours before the first morning departure.
It is therefore not possible to spend the night inside the terminal.
Hotels near the airport
About 1 km from the terminal, you can stay at the SleepOver Lanseria hotel, which consists of fully equipped cabins.
I used this hotel as well and it is amply sufficient as a 1 night stay. At the reception you can buy drinks and simple food among other things.
If you walk to the hotel, you have to walk a short distance along the road and then along a dirt track (or about 200 metres longer just along the road) to the main entrance gate at the north of the site.
Unfortunately there is no gate closer to the airport.
However, the hotel offers a shuttle from/to the terminal for 50 zar (cash only). You have to book the transfer in advance, just via messages on booking.com - the hotel responds very quickly.
