    One of the best B&B's in JHB and my first choice. The morning I was there, there was an electricity outage in their road caused by excessive rain and lightning ... and they lent me a towel to go shower and dry my hair at the nearest gym!

    The Lodge is very peaceful in a quite safe neighborhood. It’s 15 minutes walk away from the nearby town with malls and restaurants and bars. I loved the setting of self care entry and exits. They served great breakfast. Shirley was so helpful...
