Guest Reviews

• Maria (9/5): Noch besser als erwartet :-) Danke - Sheperd Lodge hat uns rundum gefallen. Das Frühstück war super, alles wurde speziell sogar nach Wunsch eingekauft und frisch zubereitet. Die Lage war für uns perfekt (ganz nah an Pretoria, Johannesburg und Hartebeespoortdam), es war ruhig, der Garten wunderschön, wir konnten sehr bequem und sicher mit Uber überall hin, wo wir wollten. Unsere Gastgeberin Penny war herzlich und sehr hilfsbereit, das Personal ebenso.
• Ash Sewpersad (8/5): very dissatisfied with owenrs attitude - na the host was abrupt and rude, she wasn't aware that booking.com took in a booking after 5 pm. i arrived at 1030 on sunday evening due to a delayed fight she wasnt impressed and had no clue that you had confired my booking.
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Matthew (8/5): - Everyone working there was amazing and so welcoming it felt like home. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained which makes for an amazing view when eating your breakfast. The double gates and secluded location makes you feel very safe
• Volker (8/5): -
• Marlise (9/5): -
• Julie (10/5): Perfect stay in Johannesburg - Everything. The peace and quiet of the garden with pool, our room with balcony, the friendly owners, the amazing breakfast, the location! Nothing
• Mar-leze (8/5): -
• Danie (9/5): -
• Hercules Bruwer (9/5): Beautifull, peaceful spot. Host is extremely friendly. - Great value for money. Enjoyed a beer at the pool after a long days work.
• Ian (9/5): It felt like home from home in Bryanston. - It was great having delicious breakfast and looking out to the pool. We loved the hospitality, the hosts couldn't have been more welcoming. Our room had a little private veranda and we sat by the pool. It was lovely. We liked everything.
• Gerald (9/5): A relaxed homely and refreshing stay. Delicious breakfast and good coffee - Relaxed and homely and beautiful garden All good
• Jacomina (10/5): - Everything. The safe location. The beautiful garden. The room. The breakfast was super.
• Elza (8/5): Lovely welcome at Shepherd Lodge - Very friendly welcome Needs a bit of maintenance
• Gordon (10/5): I would recommend it to everyone and will return when the need arises. - The house is beautiful and landscaping is breathtaking, comforting, and relaxing. Breakfast is served on back patio where you can take in the beautiful setting and provides a relaxing setting for a great breakfast made to order. We couldn't ask for more. The property is also well secured with double drive through gates and security cameras which made us feel completely safe. The location is comfortably situated between Johannesburg and Pretoria providing easy access to both. There's nothing we can think of that we didn't like. It was a lovely stay and the owners were a pleasure to talk with.
• Melissa (10/5): -
• Dawson (10/5): -
• Tracey (8/5): -
• Coral (10/5): Awesomely awesome - Fantastic hospitality went above and beyond our requests at relatively short notice . Amazing manicured lawns and garden and homely accommodation and living areas with lovely thatch roofing. Highly recommended would be an understatement. Thank you Penny, husband and Team. Could not find fault with anything.

• Anne (10/5): We arrived exhausted and left totally refreshed. Thank you Penny - The room was lovely, with a door out into the garden, which made it easy for going to the swimming pool. Penny, the host was delightful and did everything she could to make us comfortable, even bringing in a fan to our room as it was the middle of a heatwave. Possibly the chairs on the little stoep could have been more comfortable
• Freddie (6/5): Pleasant - Fridge was not working and parking a problem otherwise perfect for one night, maybe have DSTV for the price!
• Trish (8/5): Very good -
• Mark (8/5): Very good -

• Ravan (7/5): Good -
• Lizelle (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful tranquil setting lovely for some relaxing.
• Tebogo (9/5): Totally relaxing and peaceful. - There was great privacy within the accommodation. The area is very quiet and the yard is filled with greenery. It was honestly a breath of fresh air. A great breakfast was served each morning as well. The staff are very friendly and readily available.
• Kerneels (8/5): Very good -
• Kearabetswe (10/5): Perfect staycation - Perfect location - if you’re looking for something that is like you’re not in the city yet you’re in the city this is a perfect spot. I can not fault anything, everything was perfect. I loved the vintage aesthetics, game boards, my room had a view of the garden. Penny made sure we are comfortable and we got everything we needed whenever. The pictures aren’t doing any justice. It was serene , just what I needed to escape the city life. I got back home relaxed and rejuvenated and ready to take the world. It was a perfect staycation destination. For someone like me who likes creating content, I have content for days lol. I am definitely coming back for more days 😍
• Marschliono (10/5): I had an excellent stay, lovely breakfast in the morning with beautiful surroundings -
• Clint (10/5): Exceptional -
• Owiti (10/5): Exceptional - The whole experience
• Tamsyn (8/5): Friendly owners and a comfortable room that is services daily. - Friendly owners and the cleanliness of the room. The rooms were comfortable and services daily. Geyser seems to have been on a timer. Lukewarm water in the early part of the morning.
• Venter (10/5): Excellent - Friendlyness of Staff Nothing
• Jacob (10/5): Exceptional -
• Acckk1 (8/5): It was a very comfortable, clean and friendly guesthouse - The guestouse was clean and tidy, and the location was perfect as it was easy access to main roads and freeways. A great breakfast was served. A larger sized bed would have been better, as my partner and I were rather squashed together. We also could not figure out if the accommodation provided access to free-to-air TV channels + the remote control did not work properly. Block-out curtains would also have added to the comfort factor
• Petra (9/5): We had a lovely night here with family - The property is in a good and safe location. Nothing

• Kirsten (9/5): Superb -
• Sylvia (10/5): Exceptional -

• Modiroa (10/5): Exceptional - The host was amazing, kind and friendly Our room was warm and welcoming
• Vincent (8/5): Very good - Hospitality & Garden Construction noises next door unfortunately
• Viviene (9/5): Was comfortable and close to most of the things we needed access to. Would recommend - Enjoyed being able to sit on the verandah or loungers watching the birds and having fresh air Had no issues
• Craig (9/5): Very convenient stay for a sports tournament I was attending at St Stithians College. - Breakfast was amazing, staff super-friendly and accommodating. Tranquil surroundings and having a pool in the mini-heat wave was a win!
• Christo (9/5): Perfect setting really comfy - lovely welcome and great breakfast, a real home from home Pool could be skimmed :)
• Zietta (10/5): Home away from home! Loving and caring stay. - I booked last minute and was accommodated late the evening by a friendly and hospitable host. My stay was extremely comfortable and homely, despite my last minute change in plans. I left having made a new friend! The location is ideal and I will be regular. The breakfast hit the spot after days on the road. Felt like my mother tending to me when I was young. I left with my cup flowing over!
• Lindy-lou (9/5): Superb -
• Glen (8/5): Very good -
• Bereng (10/5): Weekend in Bryanston - Firstly the location is everything. Never thought there'd be such a calm, peaceful, serene piece of land in the middle of Bryanston. You have to be there to believe it. We were treated to an upgrade of the room we booked and also had a delicious, filling breakfast. They have streaming services for entertainment and electric blankets for the cold winter. Penny was a great host as well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. In the cold morning we found that she'd lit up the fireplace by the breakfast table. Amazing establishment. Sitting on the balcony and listening to trees whispering I'm the wind was so calming. It's a really serene place.

Perfect for self catering while enjoying access to communal areas all over. Very friendly hosts eager to follow up and to ensure the best possible stay. There was nothing to be disliked.

The staircase in the cottage has no secure handrail which poses a serious health and safety issue for guests. A hair dryer in each guest room will be great.
