Gap Hospitality is a group of guesthouses in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg offering both the traditional bed & breakfast as well as a self-catering option. Our guesthouses are very versatile and we are happy to host from one person to a family or even a larger group, be it a special occasion, business/study or just a fun trip to Joburg. Gap Hospitality was established in 2015.

Westdene is close to the SABC, University of Witwatersrand, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) and the CBD Consisting of only four elegant suites, which can easily be converted into two roomed inter-leading family accommodation, your tranquil stay with us at Thornton Gap Guesthouse is guaranteed to have you returning to us again and again

Westdene is one of those pretty little character-filled suburbs, that tend to lie fairly close to Johannesburg's city centre. Its streets are lined with cottage-styled homes with tin roofs, some of which back onto Westdene's park and dam, and the streets are tree-lined and pretty. There is a village feel to Westdene that has persevered, perhaps because of its proximity to RAU, now known as the University of Johannesburg, hence its popularity with students. Westdene is sandwiched between the popular village of Melville and Triomf at the base of the Melville Koppies Nature Reserve on the other side of Perth Road from the University of Johannesburg (a merger between the Technikoon Witwatersrand and the Rand Afrikaans University or RAU, the sports ground of which serves as a buffer between the lower reaches of Melville and Westdene). Nearby is the popular '7de Laan' in Melville depicted in the soapie of the same name, as well as a number of restaurants, bistros and shops worth a visit, whilst a day over the weekend spent in the Melville Koppies is time well spent
