One of the best views in the area for any guest house or hotel. The owners and staff are wonderful people who make you feel at home and are hands-on with making sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need. They are present throughout the day and accomidate each guest's needs individually. The rooms and entire property are pristine, modern and meticulously kept up. The area is safe and quiet, yet conveniently located. I have stayed here multiple times and will again for any future trips to the city.
Nothing.

The swimming pool is the greatest hotspot. The area is surrounded by lots of trees, and the rooms have a nice balcony with a great view of Nature and Johannesburg's surroundings. They offer an interpersonal experience. One gets to receive messages directly from the owner of the guesthouse. They cater to one's needs and wants. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
One has to drive uphill to get to the guesthouse.

Lovely place to stay. The owner Christine was very welcoming, explained all the information with regards to the property and made sure our every need was taken care of. She really put my pregnant wife and I at ease.

The owner Brian was very welcoming and took excellent care of us. We felt like we were guests in their own home. The building and rooms are modern, super clean and comfortable. We needed to adjust some things with our room reservations which he accommodated graciously. They prepared a lovely breakfast for us each day and even served earlier to accommodate our schedule. The location was beautiful with terrific views of the city and large balconies to relax after a long trip. We will certainly be back again.

I did not expect anything remotely scenic in Johannesburg, but was shot over the moon with this view. Amazing view of the jhb Lights at night, and what a view on the sunrise at 4:45! Loved it
