Perfect in all categories!

Hello guys, I came to Johannesburg to enjoy a safari in the area and I am very happy that I made the right choice in this great guesthouse and the exceptional treatment I received from the owner here. The price is good, the area is considered one of the richest in Johannesburg and also a quiet and safe area. The guesthouse is about a 20 minute drive from the airport and the room and the guesthouse are simply outstanding! The breakfast is amazing!! Huge! There is simply everything from everything and what you ask for, you get! I must mention the great attitude from the owner Allen and his son Marcus and the Madam Gail who just help you and your side in everything you ask and need! You have "Dad and Mom" here. I arrived in the winter season, when I got confused and thought it was summer :) Allen took me in his Mercedes to the mall and I bought a coat and training pajamas and helped me with everything I needed, bank, money exchange, etc. The owners are always available and you are not alone. I highly recommend! If it was possible to give a rating of 12, I would :)

We had power outages 3 times a day, about 3 hours each time from the country state, so when there is a power outage, there is no Wifi, no TV, no heating and no air conditioning.

Great guesthouse and owners.

I extended my stay in this great guesthouse by two more days. You can see my previous recommendation.

Except for power outages initiated by the country state, everything is perfect!

Great overnight option in Upper Houghton

Our host, Marcus, is a star! He kept in touch from the minute I made the booking and kept me well informed all the way. The parking is safe and convenient. The room in the house is large and comfortable. The en suite bathroom offers a large shower as well as a big bath. The wifi was great and they even offer a limited number of DSTV channels! The communal kitchen offers enough facilities to heat up your meal or store items in a refrigerator. Generally this was a great value for money option!

The Grobbler family are great hosts. you will feel like the whole property is yours yet there is always someone close to

This property is a little dated but has old world charm. wooden floors and my room had an old but comfortable four poster bed. the pool area was a little cluttered but the pool itself was clean and refreshing with NO chlorine use! the bathrooms were clean, the shower pressure was excellent and my bathroom had a huge claw footed bath tub! everything worked perfectly.

a better system of property entrance would be good. currently the main gate is opened manually be the staff for entrance and a 5 minute call ahead is necessary.
