Location requires reliance on taxis for dining and entertainment!!! The coffee in the room was stale and should be replaced!!! Taxi arrangements were overpriced compared to app services, making it inconvenient for budget travelers!!!

transportation reliance

limited nearby dining

We enjoyed our stay, especially the breakfast made by cheerful chefs who made us feel at home. The guest house had a nice garden that we liked, and it was walking distance to local cafes and shops. We had a lovely harvest lunch nearby. One day, we explored Johannesburg with a local guide, and it opened up a whole new perspective on the city. I'm from Italy, and this experience added a unique touch to my travels.

amenity updates

The welcoming team truly made the experience standout, offering insightful recommendations that enriched my visit. I enjoyed relaxing by the charming pool area, soaking in the warm winter sun. However, the reliance on taxis for dining options can limit budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, some amenities could benefit from updates to enhance comfort. The location, while generally safe, did require planning for evening outings due to limited nearby options.

I stayed in the Queen Room for a night, and it was super cozy! The decor was artsy and gave a nice vibe. The bed was comfy, and the whole place felt very safe. The breakfast was a highlight, with great options made to order. Just wish there were a few more dining choices nearby, but the welcoming atmosphere made up for it.
