We love staying at Foxwood House. Its rustic enough to think you are on a farm but actually you are in the heart of Houghton. The rooms are huge with all amenities and very comfortable. The beds are amazingly comfortable. The breakfast is great with hot and cold on offer. The service is always friendly and accommodating. We will definitely keep going to Foxwood House when in Johannesburg.

The water pressure in the shower could be stronger.

The staff are extremely attentive, polite, and accommodating. They met every request made, even if the request was last minute - the design of the property can accommodate any set-up, from a single occupant to a group of more than 10 - If you have any specific requirements, I am certain they will be met.

Fantastic location and staff, good place to keep as a base while travelling. Beautiful gardens. Great heating system.

Rooms could benefit from some modernising. Outdoor shower not very usable in the winter.

Foxwood is like stepping into the Secret Garden of Old Johannesburg. I loved everything about it. Old world manners, charm, class, beauty and right on my doorstep

Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful at all times.

There were so many spiders, those that might be scared of spiders might decide not to visit again, but it definitely did not scare my away. Maybe have some peppermint or lavender in the room, it chases away spiders and insects.

The location of the property and setup was excellent. It is safe, with parking available. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Bathrooms are equally spacious. Furniture are old fashioned to reflect the history of the property. There are interesting spots to visit, like the tiny theatre and handprints in cement of various SA celebs! The garden seems magical with beautiful trees and greenery. The restaurant provided both breakfast and dinner (the latter by appointment) and the food was excellent every time! We had a wonderful stay!
