Guest Reviews

• Alina (10/5): Traum Unterkunft - Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt von Sekunde eins. Laura empfing uns herzlich und zeigte uns die wichtigsten Dinge im Apartment. Das Apartment ist sehr schön und bietet alles was man braucht. Die Lage ist sehr gut und man kommt in kürzester Zeit zu allen wichtigen Orten in Johannesburg. Wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen lieben Dank.
• Mooketsi (10/5): - The unit boasts beautiful views, and I love the privacy, Owner was nice and welcoming, Convinced of being do close to shops and restaurants was a plus. This place really makes me appreciate jozi I wish the unit was a bit cleaner, but nonetheless I enjoyed my stay, lovely host, Just Note, there is a R1000 deposit that you need to pay so just budget properly. And what did did not like was the fact that I had to leave.
• Siphesihle (8/5): Nice homely space, lovely hosts - Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. Very spacious you forget you're not home! Nothing
• N (9/5): Excellent experience especially as we did not have to worry about power or water shortages. - We had an excellent stay as the property has a backup for both water and electricity, so we did not have to worry about either. Loved that we had a big desk in the lounge, good WIFI as well as a separate kitchen and lovely balcony. Laura is a great and generous host, and we felt very safe.
• Alex (10/5): - Great location for walking access to Melville restaurants. Views of the Melville Koppies and northern suburbs. Comfortable apartment.
• Stefan (8/5): - Very friendly hosts. Spectacular views Close to amenities Well equipped Parking
• Bernadette (10/5): - Super Lage, viel Platz, super nette Hosts. Preis/ Leistung super.
• Brian (10/5): Very comfortable cottage with unique view over the Melville kopjies and the friendliest hosts - The hosts, Laura and her husband are very friendly and helpful. The cottage has its own water tank on the roof, so it's not affected by any cuts in the water supply and also has solar panels as a backup if there is a power cut. The property is ideally placed, with a view over the Melville Kopjies which is probably unique among the short-term rentals. It's just a couple of minutes' walk to the centre of Melville with shops, cafes and bars, yet it's shielded from any noise. We didn't have any gripes. This was our second stay, and the cottage was as we remembered it, except for the private water tank, which is a new and very welcome feature.
• Jonathan (10/5): It was awesome. - I really liked the balcony. It was truly scenic. I loved the location as well. It wasn’t too far away from the city and other major landmarks. We felt pretty safe over here. The WiFi wasn’t the fastest when we were at the kitchen or balcony.
• Johannes (10/5): Pleasant stay, friendly hosts, easy to reach, nice area and yet easy to go from here around town. - Apartment with kitchen.
• Eric (10/5): -
• Catherine (4/5): Disappointing. Will not be recommending or staying here again. - We liked the location. And for the most part, the apartment delivered on what they said. There were a few issues but the overall place was just fine. We liked the view and the peaceful nature of the area. A nice vibe surrounding the apartment and the area was good and close to a lot of the things we needed for the business I had to sort out there. I couold get to my meetings easily and shops were in close proximity. The host was also kind enough to give us some tea bags on one of the night. They were accommodating of me and my partner, as a same sex couple, and answered messages and communications effectively in the beginning before we travelled, which we really appreciated. I did not appreciate the way certain things were handled. And also, part of the reason we took that place was for the provided washing machine. And on arrival there was no washing machine and only an extra payment option, so that was quite disappointing. Also, the way the host handled one of my requests for having guests over was very inappropriate. Misinterpreting my request and then suddenly saying I owe extra money for another guest, that had not stayed over at all with us. I did not appreciate being sent those messages by the host suddenly demanding more payment the following day. And then only checking with me after the fact. That left a very bitter taste for the rest of our stay. It was also extremely cold, and more blankets were said to only be provided at an extra cost. That was really disappointing as we had to borrow extra blankets from family and friends so we didn't freeze. This should be available to guests during the winter months at no extra cost, or be stated beforehand. Then the water cut out completely for the one day, and was dribbly on the other days. There were only selected times we could have a shower, which was extremely concerning because I had meetings and events to attend at various times in the day, so not having a reliable shower was terrible. And for the one day the water cut out completely we couldn't shower at all. That was horrible. Overall, I would not recommend this property to anyone due to the nature of how certain things were handled and how the facilities provided were not what was shown in the images.
• Glenda (10/5): Très agréable et bien situé - La privacy, l’espace et la position
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional - It was clean, friendly hosts and close to everything!
• Riccardo (10/5): Exceptional - Really a lovely place!!!
• Barbi (9/5): This stay was perfect for our needs, we felt safe, the area is quiet and great hosts. - Very central location for shopping and hospital needs. The hosts are super friendly, live on-site and very helpful. Booking in and handing over the keys was very easy. The unit is comfortable, quiet and a lovely view. We didn't do any self catering as such as we were out a lot, but the amenities in the kitchen are very adequate. The couch in the lounge was not very comfortable, but it didn't affect us as we didn't need to watch TV.
• Fayrosha (10/5): Exceptional - Laura was very hospitable and went out of her way to make us comfortable. The terrace had breathtaking views. N/A
• Lucy (10/5): Home away from home - There is nothing I didn’t like. I loved everything about this place. From the host (what a lovely soul) to the facilities. I had the most peaceful stay. There are solar panels. So even when there was loadshedding, I didn't notice because there was always electricity. The place is beautiful. There is a balcony with AMAZING VIEWS. It felt like home away from home. I felt safe the entire stay.
• Tasmin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hoosain (10/5): Exceptional - The View is amazing and apartment has everything you need. Also nice location and very safe. Nothing
• Hajira (10/5): Peaceful, convenient and secure. - I stayed for a month here and I loved it so much I didn’t want to leave! Laura and Walter were so kind and so helpful, and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. The cottage has everything that is needed for both a short and a longer stay. The property has the most amazing view over the Melville Koppies reserve and it is so private, peaceful and quiet; and I never felt unsafe at all. Just around the corner you have Melville which has plenty of restaurants and cafes, and not too far down the road you have a supermarket, so it was very convenient. I couldn’t recommend it enough!
• Boldwin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): Exceptional - Every room was neat and very clean. Laura and her husband was so friendly when my husband arrived at La Couronne. We would recommend it to everyone. Thank you Laura.
• Hlungwani (10/5): Exceptional -
• Odubanjo (9/5): Words alone fail to appreciate the views of this lovely place. - Location was great!
• Wilhemina (9/5): Superb - everything was just as expect and it felt at home, Laura was extremely welcoming and always ready to assist. I loved how easy it was to move in an out of the facility and the fact that there were restaurants and convenient shops close by. nothing, everything was great. However during my stay it was quite cold and the heater in the living area was not enough to heat the entire apartment
• Amos (9/5): Good facilities with good furnitures, the owners were also friendly and welcoming…beside the ants and spider webs…my sta - Exceptional condition with good furnitures.. There were alot of spider webs especially underneath the table and behind the toilet bowl,
• Alexander (10/5): Fantastic! - This was our second time staying with Laura and Walter and we loved it again. They really go above and beyond to make you feel at home and the apartment has everything you need, including a nice view. Thanks again for a wonderful stay and see you next time! Nothing.
• Beatrice (10/5): I wish I had more reasons to go back more frequently. - The hosts were super friendly and helpful but didn't intrude on our privacy. Even though it's right around the corner from restaurants & pubs it was very quiet. We found everything we needed in the property (hair dryer, iron, etc), so no need to take your own. Our car was safely parked. Sitting on the stoep looking out on the Melville Koppies was very relaxing. Maybe installing a shower door instead of having the shower curtain.
• Christine (9/5): Wonderful -
• Carmen (10/5): Exceptional - We loved the view, it looks out on a big part of Joburg. The host, Mrs. Laura was very welcoming towards us and showed immense kindness and hospitality. We loved our stay at La Couronne.
• Louw (9/5): Good value for money, lovely hosts and close to shops and restaurants - Spacious Beautiful view of Melville koppies and Johannesburg Quiet Fully equipped kitchen Safe neighbourhood
• Bedan (9/5): Superb - Fantastic,...homely.. Amazing host... factual,helpful and knowledgeable, good advice on where and where not to be.... excellent privacy.... walking distances to whatever is needed, prepared for the temperamental Joburg weather... .... highly recomended Nothing to do with the accomodation, just JoBurg's unpredictable weather
• David (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are amazing: friendly and helpful, and with a great attitude. The place is very illuminated, has a beautiful private veranda and everything works great. Location is also TOP with beautiful sightseeing of the city Skyline. N/A

• Pascal (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic place and people Nothing, just to there
• Heinrich (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lerako (7/5): Good -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): it’s an awesome facility that guarantees privacy - the location represents everything…bustling night life on the 7th street and beautiful nature view from the balcony. it’s also within less that 5km from several shops and supermarkets. I walked for 7km within the neighborhood. it’s peaceful. inside too has everything- from dstv to hot water, fully equipped kitchen and a large living room. it is highly recommended…
• Beatrys (8/5): Very good -
• Nedelle (5/5): Passable -
• Bradley (9/5): Superb - Nice, large apartment with a beautiful view.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. We honestly had such a lovely experience and would highly recommend it to others. Laura went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for. Thanks again!! Nothing
• Ayabulela (5/5): I need my 100 back asap.my stay was fine but Laura is treating clients as if she’s doing you a favour.it’s worse deducti - spacious and neat the owner Laura didn’t treat us well firstly the 1000 was for breaded. We stayed for 3nights with my daughter,and we kept the clean as ours.On our last day Laura told us that we can leave our staff and go for graduation,then come back and take our staff to the airport because her next tenants are coming on the 9th of March.At 15.00 I called her explaining that we still having lunch at a near restaurant,our transport will take us at 1700 to the airport.we didn’t have money for Uber.She said we must and fetch our staff otherwise she needs 200 extra which I agree that she must deduct that one.To my Suprise today she has deducted extra 100for a small bathroom Bin that has 2 items. and 1 glass and a plate we couldn’t wash because there was No water.
• Kai (8/5): Very good - Nice hosts, who respected our privacy. The location is great, especially the fact that the balcony is higher up than the next doors neighbors, which guarantees a great view at the hill and also gives a feeling of seclusion while being in the city. The kitchen is very well equipped and our host gave us quite specific instructions on where to find what, which was definitely a first time to that degree and rather helpful. The restroom is next to the bedroom, which isn't ideal, but also nothing that we found overly disturbing. Nothing else.
• Karen (9/5): Superb -
• Shan371 (10/5): Amazing host and pleasant stay! - Laura was a super host! She made sure we were settled in and had everything we needed! This place was stunning and spotless and had everything we needed, would definitely visit again! Everything was perfect!
• Georgina (8/5): Very good - Check in was quick and easy. I liked that we could come and go as we please as we were handed the keys. They use solar energy, so loadshedding was not an issue. The host was very nice. There was a water issue in the mornings.
• Loren (5/5): unfortunately I cannot say anything nice after the owner was quite rude about the toilet roll issue that messed up every - the location was great no private entrance except through the garage. but that was not a major issue. had no hot water for the last two days that’s wud super disappointing Like very bad , evening and the morning thereafter. the bed was not comfortable , the sleeper couch also not lastly, we booked for 7days and got only 2 toilet rolls when we asked for 1 more we were asked if we eat the paper- that was a total total disrespectful remark. if we pay for a daily rate surely you need to cater for per day! definately will not get any recommendations from me Lady!
• Chiara (9/5): Superb - The hosts are extremely nice and friendly. They've helped us when in need and fixed anything that needed to be fixed in short time. Absolutely recommended!
• Ronel (10/5): Spacious cottage with a View - We loved the big veranda, the view and watching the weaver bird building its nest. Amazing. And the ample space of the cottage itself made a wonderful stay. We enjoyed everything.
• Brian (9/5): We stayed 12 days, and we'd return without hesitation. - Its spacious, clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, a separate lounge / dining room, and a long balcony that offered a great view of the Melville kopje and the trees in bloom below. The bed was large, warm and very comfortable. Wi-fi was strong throughout the cottage. The location was great - quiet but within a few minutes' walk to the quirky cafes / restaurants on 7th Street. Laura and Walter, the hosts, were very friendly and helpful. Hot water pressure was low sometimes, probably due to the power cuts affecting the pumping of water into the reservoirs.
• Marina (9/5): Great stay! - Laura and her husband were very nice and welcoming. She explained the functioning and distribution of the place and answered all our doubts very kindly. The place is exactly as shown in the pictures. There are amazing views from the terrace and there is a chargable light that helps a lot when electricity drops. The place is very big and comfortable. We had a short but excellent stay! No complaints! Even though the distribution of the rooms is a bit unusual, there is more than enough space. It was also a bit cold in the apartament, but there were lots of blankets around the house.
• Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is really comfortable and nice in a safe area. Hosts are very friendly and welcoming people. I would love to go back there again :)
• Trevor (8/5): Pleasant but difficult sleeping - The bed was in a very poor condition Found it difficult to sleep. The fridge was faulty and froze water and food even at the lowest setting
