Guest Reviews

• blanc (10/5): Très agréable et confortable. - Merci à Gavin qui a été très flexible sur nos dates après avoir raté notre correspondance de vol. La chambre était très propre et confortable. Merci pour l’accueil.
• Michelle (10/5): Lovely place - I loved the homey aesthetics of the place. The breakfast was amazing and I loved the bed in my unit, it was so comfortable, I wish I could have stayed in the bed the whole day! Nothing
• Jenna (9/5): -
• Breet (8/5): -
• Harris (8/5): - Very comfortable bed
• Craig John (10/5): - Perfect area, very clean and neat, good style Just a great vibe
• Daniel (10/5): - Very well located
• Russell (8/5): -
• Susanna (9/5): Lovely stay in a great location with a wonderful owner. Would highly recommend. - Owner was lovely, very accommodating and super helpful. Superb breakfasts.
• Joanna Goldfinch (8/5): Fabulous B&B - Gavin is a fantastic host—warm, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. He’s also a talented chef, and the breakfast he prepared for us was absolutely superb. The property itself is beautifully maintained and clearly well cared for. His two Dalmatians are a delightful bonus and add great charm to the stay. For BASI Pilates teachers, the B&B is ideally located just a 2-minute walk from the BASI Pilates Academy Johannesburg. The area feels safe for walking during the day, though it’s best to avoid walking after dark, as is generally recommended in Johannesburg. The room I stayed in could do with a bit of a refresh, as it felt slightly tired compared to some of the other rooms—my colleagues’ rooms, for example, were superb, modern, and very fresh. That said, my room had its own charm: it was located at the back of the property and featured a small private garden area with outdoor furniture, which was a really lovely touch.
• Petrus (10/5): -
• Adam (10/5): -
• David (9/5): Great B&B, highly recommended... - A thoroughly enjoyable stay at this lovely B&B, it garners high feedback scores and rightly so. We were upgraded and had the added benefit of a well equipped kitchen, the accommodation overall was to a high standard with reliable Wi-Fi. Gavin was a consummate and very engaging host, his cooked breakfasts were varied and delicious. The family dalmatian's were great company, you do have to love/like/tolerate dogs, but they possess excellent temperaments, and handy security to boot. Nice location, walking distance to dining and shopping options. We would definitely rebook/return...
• ANTHONY (10/5): - Great service and freindliness from Gavin, lovely private room opening onto the garden. Quiet and relaxing and convenient for the location I had to go to. Gavin does a lovely healthy breakfast in comfortable surroundings.
• Nicola (10/5): - Great stay at this guest house. The facilities were excellent—clean, comfortable, and very well looked after. Breakfast was amazing and definitely a highlight of the stay. Gavin, the host, was super friendly and welcoming, making sure everyone felt at home. Would definitely recommend and would happily stay again.

Das Apartment war sehr geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Beim Frühstück werden persönliche Wünsche berücksichtigt und es wird direkt frisch für jeden zubereitet. Es schmeckt ausgezeichnet. Die beiden Dalmatiner, die auf dem Grundstück leben, sind zuckersüß und verleihen dem Ort etwas majestätisches. Wir konnten ohne Probleme unser Gepäck zwischenlagern, während wir auf Safari im Kruger waren und haben bei unsere Rückkehr genau das gleiche Zimmer bekommen. Es war einfach wundervoll!

The location was perfect for 6 of us to stay, with two rooms close to the brides suit. We had the most amazing breakfast the next morning as well, homemade muesli, cut fruit, delicious coffee and cooked breakfast - all beautifully presented! Thank you Gavin, for your hospitality.

The service was impeccable. Would definitely stay here again.
