Guest Reviews

• Kelly (8/5): It was a magical weekend - my friend and I got to catch up and watch the little birds in their next! - The space was perfect for a little getaway - a staycation really. Was very comfortable. Loved the plants and the natural light. A very interesting space to have a break from the rat race Metal kitchen cupboard needs a tidy, in the downstairs bedroom when the pump kicks in it does make some noise. That other guests have ruined it for other people, taken / broken items that were listed. People need to do better so hosts can maintain their space.
• Taj (10/5): -
• Siphosethu (10/5): An absolutely sensational experience! - Honestly everything, the pictures don’t do it justice. It felt so foreign but it somehow felt like home at the same time. There’s so many nooks and crannies that provide so much comfort, my favorite area would definitely be the boom-boom room (the cottage), I won’t say much about that. The steps upstairs are a bit shaky but I’m sure it’s something that can be fixed, the ones that lead into the upstairs room.
• Michaela (9/5): Großzügige Unterkunft für viele Leute - Sehr groß, viele Möglichkeiten zu schlafen, super Ausstattung, sehr ruhig, sehr freundliche Hausherren, hat sehr schnell auf unsere Anfragen reagiert. Easy checkin Leider hatten wir Wasser Ausfall, dafür kann aber das Haus nichts, der Hausherr hat mir angeboten bei sich zu duschen.
• Luthuli (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marie-louise (8/5): Very good -
• Amber (9/5): Superb - This home is so beautiful, unique and very peaceful. It is in a very convenient location and the hosts were very accommodating.
• Susara (10/5): Perfect home - We liked everything. This home is a real gem. feels like home away from home. Beautiful architecture, clean, spacious open plan house, well equipped, lovely fireplace for the cold winter nights and braai facilities. Good communication from host. Would highly recommend this accommodation. Thank you for a most memorable stay.
• Ben (10/5): Unique design, great place for making any stay in Johannesburg memorable. Hosts are very friendly. - The atmosphere, decor and location of SubUrban retreat is outstanding and we hope to return. It is even better than the photos show! The area is walkable and in close proximity to Milpark Hospital. A lovely cafe is just a block away and it is easy to walk to Woolworths to stock up on essentials. Really, there are no complaints. The only thing to be aware of is that it is not the best choice for people with mobility issues as all bedrooms are accessed by stairs. However, there are couches on the main floor that are comfortable.
• Donovan (10/5): We didn’t want to leave: an awesome place with a fantastic host. - Wonderfully eclectic place. Beautifully designed but homely - a great place to stay.
• Ditiro09 (10/5): Exceptional - The tranquility and the feeling of being in nature. Absolutely love plants and nature so was great. Loft is amazing!
• Koketso (8/5): Very good -
• Christophe (10/5): Amazing architectural house - What an amazing place. This house is a paradise. We want to stay the all day in. It's huge and open everywhere, with nice terraces, a lot of plants everywhere. The house can be a bit scary during the night if you are afraid of big space and windows open to the outdoor.
• Naidoo (10/5): The home is lovely and the few small issues can be easily overlooked. overall was a wonderful stay. - very spacious, has a lot of room and free space. everything is comfortable and easy to use/find carpets were very slippery. the downstairs geyser I think is very loud.
• Taylor (10/5): Exceptional - Most amazing house I've ever stayed in. So artistic and unique. Everything you would need it has plus more. Record player, Bluetooth speaker, every kitchen appliance you would need, all the towels and linens you would need, comfy bed, nice showers, amazing copper tub. And all in a super secure house, which is needed in Johannesburg. The neighbourhood itself is safe during the day but anywhere in Joburg at night is a no go. So might as well have an amazing place to be kept safe at. So perfect.
• Andrew (10/5): Unique and interesting home with a great host - What a breath of fresh air to find a place so different from the usual AirBnB. It is quirky and different but we loved that, big windows into the lush garden and 3 en-suite rooms as well. Load shedding is a problem everywhere in SA, but there is a small inverter to keep wi-fi and one light going and they provided candles as well. Load shedding time table was off 8pm to 10pm which is not ideal, but that's not the owner's fault at all
• Eloise (9/5): Superb - Great architectural space, very personal home environment.
