- Thabiso (9/5): Great place to stay , very nice place and good management - The location and parking , convenience Nothing , the place is a great value for money
- Twarisani (6/5): The stay was just perfect - The place is not far from Johannesburg cbd and also Eastgate mall which is more convenient for people are traveling using Uber or bolt to move around. The lady who was clean our rooms was very welcoming and friendly including the two little puppies and the backyard garden was very beautiful perfect for braai and just relaxing outside. One of the rooms was not smelling good we had to use our own perfumes to spray the room.

- Annie (7/5): Good place in Johannesburg, safe! - Nice place in Johannesburg in a safe neighborhood to spend the night.
Host was nice and the breakfast was super good. We had 2 rooms and one lack cleaning.
- Karen (8/5): - This is a nice room with a kitchen behind the main house. There was a washer and dryer to use for a small fee. Parking was convenient behind a gait in the front. It was easy to come and go. The room was basic but a good deal for the price. There was a nice pool but it was winter so no desire to use.
- Philip (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent value for money Nothing......they can't change the fact Johannesburg was freezing!
- Alain (7/5): Great place to overnight - We needed a place to overnight on our vacation and Margaret's Place was a nice option. The property was secure and located in a convenient location in Joburg. The room was large and the bed was comfy. Breakfast service in the room was a nice touch. The room and bathroom were a little on the chilly side.

The grounds is very well kept, neat and clean. We where suprised by the location. On our way to Margarets Place, we drive through a "not so save" neigberhood. We where really concern the futher we drived - but it ended up to be okay.
- Ruan (8/5): Very good -

- joseph (10/5): - a very quaint and quiet place. Pool was cold but very clean and refreshing. The outside ambience was nice and relaxing. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook, although the burners take a long time to heat, it was sufficient enough for me to cook. Not hot enough to boil a pot of pasta water though. I am very pleased with everything overall.
- Lebogang (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great time no complaints, great service from the host very welcoming
- Lauren (8/5): Very good - The pool looks incredible, unfortunately we did not get to use it as the weather was too cold. Nice spacious room. Kitchenette had everything we needed.

- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malepa/gift (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is very much welcoming and good towards its customers, the pool was also beautiful including their garden and not to forget their amazing breakfast. They didn't have enough water in the area however they made ammends and that's also something beyond their control so pretty much there is nothing not to like about the place.
- Geraldine (9/5): Superb - Friendly staff. Veldeen welcomed me, 😌, Felt like home. The whole place has a very calming atmosphere with a great garden and pool.
Despite municipal water shutdown, we were well provided for by the staff on a daily basis. Will definitely stay here again if ever in the area. Nothing.
- Smith (10/5): Still a wonderful place, I just suggest getting a new mattress for that room - Very nice area and room was also nice. Brought our breakfast to our room The bed in our room was laid out in the middel. We kept rolling to the middel of the bed. Was n bit uncomfortable
- Pam (9/5): We were warmly welcomed by the host - The pool side and the garden There was no air conditioning or fan
It was extremely hot
- Mariette (7/5): Dog friendly home away from home - The place is lovely and accommodating towards my dog. The resident puppy Leo is adorable, and him and my Mr Black Jack play so well together.
Nice to have some garden area to relax in.
The ladies here always make me feel at home. It is my second time here, and I will be back.
The kitchen is well stocked for basic Self Catering and the breakfast cereal is a nice touch. They can consider an upgrade, perhaps. My mattress is a bit old, I think, as it was not super comfortable.
I am also not a huge fan of blankets on the beds, as I am never sure if they get washed after every guest.
These are small things and wont prevent me from coming back.
Mr Jack and I are thankful for your place.

- Tabeth (7/5): Good -
- Hlatshwayo (5/5): Passable -
- Kristin (9/5): It's a gem!💎 - This is one of the best accommodations, it's very comfortable and homely. Located in a quiet neighbourhood. From the time we arrived we felt very warmly recived, we checked in earlier than check in time and there were nonissues there- found our rooms ready! The room is quite spacious. Very lovely and friendly staff. The garden/pool area was our favourite, very nice just as the pictures show. Very clean pool. The yard is also right below flights path so every now and then we saw planes pass right above us from O.R Tambo - my son really enjoyed this!
Well equipped kitchen with several types of cereal provided as well as a cartoon of milk! (How thoughtful!) Lots of storage space in the room plus the bathroom. Lots of towels provided even to use for pool. We had parking right beside our room, felt very safe. There was no running water, however this is communicated right when we checked in that there was some ongoing maintenance in the area (not their fault!) but our host provided us with bottles of water on the day and the following morning. No aircon in the room but a fan was provided. Cereal bowls were too small (almost not practical for an adult).🤣
