- Victoria (7/5): Great location, friendly staff. Just need to work on the maintenance - The garden view although it was blocked by the tall trees. The size of the bathroom and the room. The fact that they had to change the bedsheet after my arrival as they were clearly used.
But it's to be expected, given that it was a last minute booking and the cost of the room.
Some of the bathroom windows don't close properly/at all.

- Salomè (7/5): A very charming old lady with beautiful garden and relax areas. - It is a beautiful big house full of old charm. Because of elderly and sick people in our group the beautiful stairs was a bit of a problem but the staff helped.

Mrs Gina very full of humanity loves people
Facility very organised and clean
Location easy to find
My Teen kids enjoyed spending time at the place
First time at the White House and it was a good experience The dog was friendly 😁
- Brian Donavan (10/5): -
- Ishan (10/5): -
- Mofokeng (9/5): - Cleanliness, clean facilities and a smooth check in I appreciated how clean and well kept everything was. The facilities were comfortable, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay During the night, a moth entered the room and was difficult to remove, which disrupted my sleep. This may have been outside the property’s control, but it was the only minor inconvenience during an otherwise comfortable stay
- Yentl (9/5): As chaotic as it was, it was truly a wonderful time with wonderful people. - The day of our arrival, I was told that the White House was having issues with power and was offered a transfer to their sister property, the Gatsby. My flight was delayed and was going to land incredibly late. I contacted Gina to find out if the rest of my party could check in, and she was super helpful, even staying up until I eventually got to the property, which was after 11 pm. Unfortunately, minutes before I arrived, someone had driven into the power box, and their generator was giving issues. Gina was so fantastic, such a superhero, she still made the stay wonderful and comfortable that we were genuinely sad to leave. She did not just make us feel like guests but rather old friends who were simply catching up.
The place is filled with character, and it feels like you're walking through someone's life story. I would recommend this place over a hotel. The only issue was the power outage. But we were able to charge our devices once the generator was up and running. We were still able to have hot water for showers.
- Vanessa (10/5): -
- Shamiso (10/5): exeptional!! one of the best stays ever!!! - the location was geeat, peaceful, a great n safe neighbourhood close to shoppin malls/ centres etc absolutely nothing!
- Ayandal (9/5): - Family feel and excellent welcoming staff Mosquitoes in bedroom
- Lyatumba (6/5): I had a pleasant stay. And I am planning to return to the Whitehouse for another stay - The location was excellent for my business; it was easy to connect to my business engagements. The transport arrangement with one of the team members - Andrew, was excellent and the availability of Uber and Bolt was on point-less 5minuts wait. The staff were very warm and engaging and very resourceful for information The linen for one of the rooms that I occupied could be improved upon.
- Raylene (8/5): Stay was short, one night only but great. Breakfast amazing and beautiful place. - Beautiful and very clean. Staff friendly upon my arrival and accomodating as my flight was delayed and I only arrived to check in just before 11pm. No front desk, had to keep calling or sending messages when I needed assistance.
- Thulani (10/5): It was amazing. I felt like a Hollywood movie star. - Beautiful house!!! Very old Hollywood - clean and very friendly stuff. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and worth the visit! The tree that caused me a very dry nose! 😭
- Bundjoko (2/5): Pas du tout à la hauteur de mes attentes. - Trop de bruits( tournage d‘une émission télé-réalité)!
Pour un séjour de 4 jours, durant 3 jours et nuits, trop de bruits.
La chambre était si froide. Pas de chauffage !
Il faillait commander une couverture avec chauffage.
La régie s‘est excusée et a aussi promis de compenser les désagréments avec une bouteille de vin.
Et c’était une promesse vide. Pas de bouteille !
Que c’est dommage !
- Bame (5/5): -
- Loreleï (10/5): chambre parfaite - - belle maison, beau jardin
- grande chambre et belle salle de bain
- lit confortable et grosse couette pour bien avoir chaud
- le quartier sécurisé rien !
- chinah (10/5): -
- Zandile (10/5): Home away from home - The room was spacious and beautiful. The quietness of the area was a bonus. The location was perfect for the purpose of the trip. I had a medical procedure the following day, and I was able to rest and prepare myself. It felt like home away from home. I loved it. I loved everything about the property. I have no complains at all.
- WASP (9/5): Many thanks to Gina for also accommodating me at The Great Gatsby and for her friendliness. - Both The White House and The Great Gatsby were amazing value for money.
* Both venues and the rooms were very comfortable and very well serviced.
* Everything that one would need was provided.
* The locations were close to key shopping centres.
Overall, both guesthouses were wonderful places to stay. I will certainly visit again in the future, and I strongly recommend it to anyone seeking a stay in Johannesburg, or even for a wedding or photo shoot at the Great Gatsby.

- Gizelle (10/5): Great stay always! - Lovely property and very central for where we needed to go to work. The winter is fantastic and great staff working at The White House. Lovely beds and comfortable. We will be back soon again. 👍
- Gizelle (10/5): -
- Kieran (7/5): Good - The stay was perfect nice location and the views were exceptional. What I did not like was the fact that there was no rubbish bins in the room for trash disposal and the fact we had to message someone to open the gate was a bit unpleasing
- Casey (3/5): Poor - Property listed as Bedfordview when it is actually Observatory
Previous tenant smoked in the room so the room and particularly the linen smelt of smoke. In stead of replacing the linen house keeping opened all windows hoping the smell would dissipate. All this did was equalize the interior room temperature with the outside very cold winters day temp.
The little heater supplied would have gone a long way to removing the chill from the air except it required a 2 point adapter to run in the 3 point electrical point. None where available and house keeping could not be found to supply one.
There were no complimentary teas and coffee available and no staff were available to assist with this. I ended up going into the kitchen and making my own coffee. With no staff on site breakfast could not be served. I let the premises at 09:00 and by that time no staff had arrived at work yet. I just left the room key in a bowl by the front door hoping I was doing the right thing.
- Tshiamo (10/5): It was great. I will be back soon - The property has a vintage and modern interior that screams quiet luxury. Every detail in the furnishing and decor was stellar.
Stacy was extremely patient and very accommodating with my last minute booking. I really enjoyed the hospitality. Nothing
- Hannes (10/5): Exceptional - I had a very pleasant stay at this guesthouse. The place was clean, neat, and well-maintained, which made for a comfortable experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always accommodating to any needs or questions I had. It's located in a good area, which felt safe and convenient for getting around. Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-kept place to stay.
- Andreas (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious rooms, including bathrooms and excellent and always friendly service. Nothing

- Monica (10/5): One of the best places i have stayed in.a beautiful house - The staff were excellent. Friendly and nothing was too much. Breakfast cooked fresh every time with good quality ingredients. Lovely coffee and a good selection of teas. We were offered an upgrade to a very spacious room. The internet was good and the television was also good offering netflix. We would definitely go again.
Lovely big shower room.
Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The gardens were lovely with plenty of seating. The swimming pool was also excellent. I cannot find fault with anything.
- Andreas (10/5): Excellent Stay with very comfortable rooms and friendly staff. - The rooms are very spacious and well appointed. I even had a bathroom with a bidet. The place is safe and the parking is ample. Excellent value for money. Nothing.

We had breakfast and dinner, both were absolutely delicious.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
We really felt at home.
It was quiet and peaceful, perfect for a getaway from the busy world we live in today.
Will definitely recommend The White House. And we will definitely be returning ☺️
- Anne_beans (10/5): Perfect location for a short stay - I loved the style of the room. It has a beautiful regal design. Honestly, it was great value for money for my short stay. I would have ideally liked for the rooms to have a small bar fridge. They should consider it as well as a small coffee and tea station.

Andrew ***** the host went out of his way to be helpful, communicative and kind, and always there to answer questions. Breakfast was good too! CAUTION: FIRST a film location, SECOND a guesthouse.
This interruped our stay twice.
- Richard (8/5): Quiet, comfy getaway inside Joburg - Charming large home converted to a bed and breakfast, with an eclectic decoration that sets it apart. It really had that old school charm. Very clean, nice pool, and plenty of space to work inside or out. Rooms are airy and spacious. Very safe neighborhood about 15 minutes from the city center. Wifi extender to the upper floors would be great!
- Shereen (8/5): Was good - Is a beautiful place. Old school movie decor. Just had problems with a broken window and dirty socks and nail clippings in one bed. But otherwise great. Andy is delightful.
- Dilks (10/5): From home to home. all staff very helpfull and accomerdating. - President's room -
