Das Great Gatsby macht seinem Namen alle Ehre. Man fühlt sich ein bisschen in die Vergangenheit versetzt in diesem kleinen Juwel mitten in Joburg. Die Villa besticht durch Eleganz, viele wunderschön eingerichtete, einzigartige Zimmer mit en-suite Badezimmern und einem traumhaften Garten. Die Besitzerin Gina hat alles gegeben, damit wir uns wohlgefühlt haben. Einfach wunderbar!

Das wir nicht länger bleiben konnten

It was everything that we hoped for and more! Gina our host went out of her way to make us feel at home. If you travelling to JHB it is the place to stay.

There was nothing not to like.

The House is incredibile. It seems you are in a movie mansion!!

It felt like we had stepped into another world! Staying here is an experience we would love to repeat! Gina is an e ceptional host as is her cru.bed chickens!(

Staying here is like taking a step back in time to a place where comfort and space was generous. My room was huge, there are many comfortable communal spaces to nestle into and I just felt really at home. Delicious breakfasts, fresh flowers and candles and a cup of tea (served in china on a tray) whenever you ask all added to the experience. Oh and of course the resident hotel dog who acts as though he now belongs solely to you.

I don't think there was much I would change.

Everything,exceeded my expectations

Absolutely nothing

I may say it is the best guests house in Johannesburg. A beautiful heritage property exquisitely decorated with a kind service.

A comfortable stay that is safe and convenient to central Joburg. Good attention to detail and the host was very welcoming. Thank you for the room upgrade!

Everything about The Great Gatsby is pure magic. I was lucky enough to receive not one, but two upgrades during my stay by the wonderful owner, Gina. Each of the three rooms I stayed were exquisitely decorated to match the buildings, and each had their own unique 'bonus' features. By far my favourite was the second bedroom (ie not the main bedroom) of the Coach House. It's nestled against the cold rocks of the hill, feels cosy- smells amazing!- and has a massive shower. You will sleep like a baby here, and if you're a dog person like me you'll absolutely fall in love with Gina's friendly, playful pooch! For those concerned about loadshedding, the property does have a generator, so you won't be left in the dark!

I certainly loved Gina and her warmth

That I could not stay longer

Everything, the room, the bathroom, the view we had, we loved everything

A beautiful home, even better Than excpected Located in the best area of Johannesburg Owner really sweet and caring We would come back gladly

The space is quiet and serene. It is also beautifully appointed.

location was perfect !!!!

just needed a mirror in the bedroom when styling my hair.

Everything was perfect. The fact that they enquired prior to arriving what time, dietary requirements, etc, shows they make a huge effort for your arrival to ensure that everything is to your liking and expectations :) :) :)

I travel to South Africa two to three times a year, and have done so over the course of the past 20 years. I have stayed at the top and finest hotels in Johannesburg - the best of the best, and absolutely NONE can compare to 'The Great Gatsby' in terms of hospitality, comfort, ambience, decor, luxuriousness, and individual attention. The hotel is a gracious, completely restored mansion from the early 1920's. It has been beautifully and exquisitely restored to its original Grandeur. The mansion consists of 7 luxurious suites, each decorated in an individual tasteful manner, reflecting the aura of its original time. The rooms are not only STUNNING and SPOTLESS, but filled with exquisite antique furnishings from its individual era. The home itself is a work of art, akin to a museum. The history of the mansion is extensive, and one feels the wealth, graciousness, splendour, and finesse of those from the early 1920's who walked the passages of this home. The breakfasts were STUNNING and made to order. 5 course breakfasts. On fine china, cotton linen, and antique silverware, all on a grand stunning table which dates back to the 1800's as does all of the furniture really. Comparable to the BEST breakfasts in the world. Individual service that exceeded my experiences in all the 5 star hotels throughout the world that I have stayed in. The delicious dinners resembled nothing less than works of art. The host Gina - well there are no words to describe her. She could not do enough for me. She is the most refined, cultured, kindest, and SUPERB host. She served not only as a host, but as a concierge, recommending all that there is to see and do in the area. In terms of value, this is a joke. I cannot understand how such luxury can be presented at such a low cost, even given the great exchange rate with the American Dollar. Comparable establishments charge 10 times the price. Thank you for an AMAZING STAY Michael Kellen, Ph.D.

Absolutely everything was spectacular, There was nothing that did not exceed my expectations.

We booked a standard room and when we arrived, the host Gina had upgraded us to a self catering cottage with a killer view of the city. It was just perfect for the two of us. Breakfast is available at the hotel for an additional R150, cooked by the host, who is also a chef. Definitely worth staying here if you're in the area. All staff super friendly and helpful.

Beautiful and relaxing place, nice host, great breakfast

Living in a fantastic historical and confortable mansion

All was great

The house was really clean and the staff was really friendly.

Super friendly and warm host Gina. Got a free upgrade to private apt and it was amazing. Delicious breakfast as well.

Great location and beautiful property.

N/A

Peaceful environment and very friendly and helpful hostess and staff. I will definitely be back again.

Nothing

I was upgraded to a nicer room on arrival. The room was spacious and had Victorian charm as befits the name. The bathroom was spacious and modern. The breakfast was very tasty.

Nothing from my side

The hostess shouts at guest like children, she is so rude - I wouldn't advise anyone to go there. I arrived at 20:10 and she madly shouted saying she doesn't run a 24 hour service. It was too late for me to secure another place but will never make the mistake again.
