    The only complain is about broken light in closet area in my room - it is hard to organize your wardrobe without proper light. Additionally, because of regular blackouts in the country, during the night some of electric equipment are making noise when the electricity is switched on, be prepared for that, i assume the guesthouse cannot do anything for it. I little disappointed with the outside patio of my room as it faces a wall, but other outside areas of the house are great.

    Nice place in walking distance from main area of Rosebank. I waked to there. Do not afraid to get there from airport with Gautrain with luggage. I took the Gautrain bus from Rosebank station for one stop - the stop is 40 meters from the guesthouse. Area is safe, i took a lot of preparation but honestly, the area is OK. I walk everyday to Rosebank station and from there i continued my activities. Walking distance from many art galleries and good coffee shops. Welcoming hosts.

    We were traveling with a friend, who stayed in a different room, and had some electrical problems. Problem was solved next morning, but it was slightly stressful when happened. Hope the wiring will be solved as this is otherwise a great place to stay in Joburg!

    We had a very quiet room with a floor heating. It was warm enough not to use it, but it's a good option to have for colder days :) The door of our room opened to the garden, which was very very nice, especially in the mornings when we could have our coffee in the garden and observe small birds being busy around us. The location was also very convenient for us and felt very safe (with secure parking). Breakfast was very good, made fresh, and with taking into account our special requests. Samantha was most hospitable and accommodating! :)

    The carpet in the unit was little tired and perhaps let down the otherwise very comfortable room.

    Breakfast was well prepared and served by very cheerful ladies. We liked the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in the unit, so could heat a ready made meal. And there was a good selection of tv channels available. The room had easy access to a lovely patio and peaceful garden with plenty of bird life. Guesthouse is conveniently situated so getting to CBD was easy.

    Booked it so we could rest in the Sun in the garden while waiting for our flight, unfortunately shadow all over. Room felt a bit old and the carpets made the room smell a bit.

    Staff nice, bed nice. Close to Rosebank Mall, but not a nice way to walk there. Take Uber

    Terrible loadshedding in JHB, thus having a B&B without power backup (eg. solar) was an annoyance. If I had been a businessman travelling for work, I would not have appreciated the lack of uninterrupted power supply on site.

    Very good proximity to our family in and around The Parks in JHB, and to Rosebank Mall.

    The sink was not working properly and the water didn't go down.

    Our room was nice and spacious, the breakfast was good. Overall the place was very safe, however, it kind of feels like you are in a bunker with the electric fence and the big walls surrounding the property. I'm not complaining as I understand it's necessary, but be prepared.
