Guest Reviews

• Dermot (9/5): -
• Denise (7/5): - Lovely cottage The coffee and sugar was empty. The sleep option for kids was a sleeper couch, not comfortable
• Verónica (10/5): PRECIOSO COTTAGE - Muy buena relación calidad precio.Urbanización muy segura.Cottage muy coqueto ,limpio,comunicación muy fluida con ellos
• Abu (3/5): -
• Nesbitt (9/5): Jane was very pleasant & helpful and the rooms were beautifully furnished and comfortable - The location and setting
• Lindsay (7/5): -
• Isolde (10/5): Leavy cottage stay in the heart of the city - Great location, child friendly, kind and helpful staff, good linen, secure. Thank you.
• Louise (8/5): Very homely - VEry homely and had all we needed. The bed is a bit worn- other than that lovely!
• James (10/5): - Love the quiet location and Garden Friendly Staff Very convenient spot
• Jenny (10/5): -
• Motale (8/5): Decent Stay - Very refreshing feel of nature! Sense of security!! Nothing really, except it was a bit small for us!!
• Haroun (5/5): - Location is good. It took almost 20 minutes for someone to open the gate, even though the time was communicated. If you aren't used to a dog, the dog will be literally in your face when you open the door. No assistance when the sleeper couch could not open. Not even a call back!
• Heinz (9/5): A quiet retreat in close proximity to Johannesburg CBD, Rosebank, Sandton and Fourways. -
• Arona (8/5): Great place to stay with kids - Nice apartment , very comfortable and cozy, well equipped kitchenette and great outdoor space perfect for kids , including a pool and playground, even if we didn’t have chance to use it as we were outside most of the time, I totally recommend to families with kids! Staff very kind and available to adapt to our requests especially with late check-in and early check out hours due to flights time All was great, just to keep in mind that there’s a big dog that seeks for companionship and tried a couple of times to get in the apartment (once also crying at night behind the window) , it didn’t bother us (just felt sorry for him), but to keep in mind for those who might be scared
• Eliza (5/5): We enjoyed our stay however it could have been abit more cleaner. - The beds were comfortable and the landscape in the garden was beautiful. It could have been abit more cleaner. Most seating areas were dirty. There was a restriction of where we could sit. The dog followed us everywhere and it made some guests uncomfortable.
• LYRISHE (10/5): - It is a sweet place that has all that was required Water pressure in the shower
• Shalden Pillay (10/5): Great and comfortable - Clean room, good facilities and friendly staff. Kids bed was not comfortable, too hard mattress
• Makhosazana (10/5): -
• Surika (10/5): A peaceful, welcoming stay, safe and relaxing with friendly staff and a lovely garden 🌿✨ - The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, Sally personally came to greet us, which made it feel so homely. The room was beautifully decorated, spotless, and very comfortable. The garden is stunning and peaceful, and we loved meeting the friendly dog that lives on the property. The atmosphere felt calm and safe, a perfect little escape in the city. The location was excellent, quiet, safe, and close to main routes, shopping centres, and restaurants. It’s ideal for both relaxation and convenience. Honestly, nothing, everything met or exceeded our expectations. From booking and communicating to arriving and parking, everything was smooth and easy. Even checking out was effortless, and the area has plenty of Ubers readily available, which made getting around very convenient.
• Catherine (9/5): Awesome, memorable and pleasant! - We did not order any breakfast and so we cannot comment although it would be good for the host to consider including a cost for a basic breakfast for guests in the room rate. Unfortunately, we had not yet bought South African sim cards and had no internet connectivity on our phones when we arrived so we spent a bit of time trying to inform the host that we had arrived at the premises.
• David (9/5): -
• Malawana (10/5): -
• Butler (8/5): Convenient location and peaceful stay for great value. Would recommend! - Great location. Convenient. Kay was wonderful.
• Trevor (6/5): very comfortable and a good price in quiet area - I enjoyed the quietness. It is spacious for a cottage so value for price charged It is grubby. to my standards. All curtains need a good wash; window blinds need attention; fridge door handle and floor mats need a good clean.
• D (8/5): Very good - Such a beautiful location with all the amenities in the room. Couple of things which need maintenance but the cottage was ideal for our 1 nights stay.
• Carl (10/5): Exceptional - Mama Jane, Sally and Coby are lovely hosts. We extended our stay as it felt so homely and quiet. A lovely home away from home. Would highly recommend.
• Chris (9/5): Lost in the forest - A hidden gem! Secluded, almost like being in a forest. Super nice place and all facilities worked as expected. N/A
• Nonofang (10/5): Loved this property! Definitely coming back! - This property exceeded all my expectations. The room was big and spacious. The staff and owners were very friendly and accommodating. My kids had a lovely time on the trampoline and playing catch with the dog. Location was also excellent. I really have no complaints. They provided extra bedding and the amenities were well thought out. I’ll definitely be returning! Absolutely nothing
• Veronica (10/5): Exceptional - Would love to come back. Very nice location. Coby was very friendly and the lovely lady welcomed us very well. The place is very clean . Well maintained. Nothing at all
• Hettie (10/5): This fully equipped guest room (apartment) was exceptional in every way! - The fully equipped guest room (more like an apartment) was absolutely beautiful! From the detail to furnishings and decorations, to the beautiful gardens, to the beautiful mountain view! This was one of the best guest rooms we have ever been to - thank you for a wonderful experience - next time we will stay longer! Nothing, everything was perfect!
• Coetzee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Van (6/5): Nice Stay - We had a nice stay. Thank you so much.
• Kimberleigh (5/5): Passable - No communication, host did not answer any calls
• Carol-ann (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable accommodation with warm and welcoming staff, in a beautiful garden setting.
• Mvakal (9/5): We wanted a very quit place to spend our news eve and day at and we got that - Its big ,warm and clean The dog was a turn off for me i did not want to go outside , and the dog kept on banging our door
• Khanyisile (7/5): Good - Cute cottages and comfortable beds. Very friendly staff and Sally had amazing customer service and was very responsive. It's very confined so not ideal when you have kids. The kids play area was so run down, we had to take the kids out to keep them entertained because they would have definitely hurt themselves. We also weren't sure if we could use the pool or relax by the pool area as I think that's part of the main house but it didn't really matter because it was raining most of the weekend.
• Lucy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alexander (9/5): Superb -
• Craig (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly hostess Very comfortable location and beautiful garden

• Mervyn (9/5): Comfortable, management friendly and caring. Ellent provision to counter loadshedding., - Location was perfect. No breakfast required Nothing
• Margie (8/5): Very good -
• Jared (3/5): Disappointed - The place was musky, and the bath and kitchen sink were blocked. The last night we were there, it rained, and the roof in the lounge area was leaking. I had to move the microwave and switched off the TV. I was not impressed. The staff, on the other hand, was very friendly and willing to assist. Lots of noise levels It was not what we were expecting.
• Kolyo (1/5): Bad -
• Hayley (8/5): Very good - It's peaceful and beautiful.
• Gale (9/5): Superb -
• Barry (8/5): Very good -
• David (6/5): Pleasant - Location suited us perfectly, staff was very friendly Pull out couch was not acceptable. Toilet did not flush properly was noisy and took too long to fill up Wifi was not effective and cell signal was poor
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vian (8/5): Very good -
• Barry (8/5): Very good -
• Abigail (8/5): Very good -
• Chanel_mo'nae (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alan (4/5): Disappointing -
• Lethale (8/5): Very good -
• Zanele (4/5): Beautiful but still needs a lot of work to be done. - I like that the check in is from 9 and checkout is 11. The swimming pool was clean. They gave us swimming pool tiles, that was very great. Their helper was very helpful . It was partially clean. The backsplash was dirty. The sink was dirty, the sink cupboards was also dirty, smelling of moulds, the oven glove had a mould on it. They could have made sure that the children’s play ground is clean, the swings and slide were dirty. they let their Dog roam around, i had ask them to do something about it as we were not comfortable. They dont have a back up for loadshedding. They only had coffee and sugar, no milk. No soap or shower gel. I think theres also false advertisement. They are advertising a space that is private. they said im gonna have a garden and swimming pool view but I got a cottage that is very far from the pool. You have to go outside and call/shout for helpers for assistance. And also the helpers were still working on the garden, I somehow had to cover myself since i ddnt feel comfortable walking around with a bathing suit while we have an old person, same age as my grandpa around.
• Amandla (2/5): Sally treated me like a criminal although I paid her twice and I'm still waiting for reimbursement - The place is nice. Great for kids with the play area Sally's seemingly racist approach to me paying before we could check in. Even after I paid her she refused to accept Capitec proof of payment and I had to ask my employer to pay - embarrassing and frustrating situation. I have checked out and Sally still has not paid back the money I initially paid from Capitec, claiming it doesn't reflect on her Standard Bank account. Terrible experience
• Sue (8/5): Good value , clean and adequate for short stay. - good value for money, clean, lovely surroundings, pool and grass area,very pretty. Bath very small, hard to get out of, but there was a shower so it didn’t matter except can’t run bath and use basin sink at same time, only changed towels every three days.
• Candice (8/5): cute place for a few days in Johannesburg - cute cottage in craighall. pet friendly
• Erika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sandra (8/5): Very good - very relaxed and quiet
• Antonette (10/5): Most pleasant and comfortable stay - The location was perfect. The check-in was easy,, the staff friendly, the unit spacious and comfortable. The necessary essentials provided and a bonus was the generator during loadshedding!
• Orla (9/5): Happy with our choice - Easy booking and check in process. Clean room with great facilities in terms of bathroom and kitchen. We were traveling with our two small dogs, so the private patio area was a big bonus. Will be back when we are in the area again. Nothing
