There are no restaurants within walking distance. The neighborhood did not feel safe for us, although we were advised that it was safe to walk during the day.

The property and staff are extraordinary. It has an oasis feel to it.

This place is a real gem. A quiet and beautiful oasis in a busy city. Our rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable. Conway and his lovely team were warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful. Conway offered advice on the city and our onward journey, during and before our stay. Breakfast was delicious with a range of choices. We left our Ipad charger in our room when we left. Conway contacted us to let us know and arranged to have it sent on to us. I highly recommend this place.

I only had one night in Johannesburg, my first ever in South Africa. I’m so incredibly happy I stayed at Lucky Bean. I have traveled quite a bit in my life, all over the world, but never experienced such hospitality before. Before, during and after my stay at Lucky bean guest house Conway and Natasha were making sure I was looked after, safe and happy. They arranged airport pickup (Derick the driver was great!) as well as restaurant reservation (I arrived late after canceled flights etc) as well as an Uber getting back to the guest house. I felt completely spoilt. The staff at Licky bean were lovely as well and I could tell they really enjoy their workplace. Great vibes and generous breakfast. I couldn’t recommend a place more. Next time I’m back in Jburg there’s no chance I would stay anywhere else.

Conway and Natalie were excellent hosts and obviously love and want to share Johannesburg with their guests. The property is beautiful and safe, in a very nice and quiet area. The breakfasts provided were excellent, and Conway or Natalie was there to answer questions, if needed. There is a large and beautiful pool.. Melville is a nice neighborhood with walkable streets and minimal traffic, and there are several nice restaurants we ate at. There is a shopping center that we walked to that had a laundry, ATM, grocery, and pharmacy. Ubers were never more than a couple of minutes away, and we used them to go to the Apartheid Museum and the Rosebank Sunday African Crafts Market.

The area of Johannesburg has electricity problems now and then, but there's a generator in the guestouse, and wifi was always available, as well as the lights.

Lucky Bean Guesthouse is what you need to relax after a long flight or an exhausting journey. Our room was quiet, clean and had everything we needed - bath, shower, safe, fridge, kettle and tea and coffee. There are European sockets in the rooms, so charging our phones was easy. There are only a few rooms in the property, and guests share a lovely swimming-pool with sunbeds and a dining room. Breakfast included fruit, cereal, yoghurt, toast, jam with tea and coffee and a variety of egg dishes made especially for us. The owner, Conway, was really friendly and helpful, he consulted us on the shopping, wine, local cafes and other things. It was such a pleasure to talk to him and discuss everything we needed. The area of Melville is safe in comparison to downtown Johannesburg. It's green, quiet and has some very nice restaurants and cafes. Getting around by Uber is cheap and convenient. We spent 2 days on the property and enjoyed the peace and quiet of its garden. Thank you so much, Conway, for making us feel at home :)))
