Perfect location - if you’re looking for something that is like you’re not in the city yet you’re in the city this is a perfect spot. I can not fault anything, everything was perfect. I loved the vintage aesthetics, game boards, my room had a view of the garden. Penny made sure we are comfortable and we got everything we needed whenever. The pictures aren’t doing any justice. It was serene , just what I needed to escape the city life. I got back home relaxed and rejuvenated and ready to take the world. It was a perfect staycation destination. For someone like me who likes creating content, I have content for days lol. I am definitely coming back for more days 😍

The guestouse was clean and tidy, and the location was perfect as it was easy access to main roads and freeways. A great breakfast was served.

A larger sized bed would have been better, as my partner and I were rather squashed together. We also could not figure out if the accommodation provided access to free-to-air TV channels + the remote control did not work properly. Block-out curtains would also have added to the comfort factor

Firstly the location is everything. Never thought there'd be such a calm, peaceful, serene piece of land in the middle of Bryanston. You have to be there to believe it. We were treated to an upgrade of the room we booked and also had a delicious, filling breakfast. They have streaming services for entertainment and electric blankets for the cold winter. Penny was a great host as well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. In the cold morning we found that she'd lit up the fireplace by the breakfast table. Amazing establishment. Sitting on the balcony and listening to trees whispering I'm the wind was so calming. It's a really serene place.

Search no further, this is THE PERFECT place to stay in Bryanston. Spotless and fresh rooms, huge lovely garden with Ibises flying around. Every morning starts with super made to order English breakfast by the heartwarming and ultra friendly people running the place. What's also convenient is that they have both solar and a generator so no worries about loadshedding here! Thanks Joe, Jackie, Janet, Bruce and others. I will return (soon!) Stayed here 4 nights extended with 2.

Friendly owners and the cleanliness of the room. The rooms were comfortable and services daily.

Geyser seems to have been on a timer. Lukewarm water in the early part of the morning.

Joe was very friendly and accommodating. The room was exactly what it looked like in the photos. Clean, neat and very comfortable. Nice homely touch with some flowers in my room. I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely book to stay there again. I also enjoyed the breakfast. Bacon, pork sausage, eggs, toast, baked beans, mushrooms, tomato, juice and filter coffee. There were also two bottles of still water placed in die mini fridge in my room every day. I enjoyed my cup of coffee early in the morning on the porch while looking over the beautiful garden. I had access to Netflix in my room which was great.

Nothing. Was great.

I booked last minute and was accommodated late the evening by a friendly and hospitable host. My stay was extremely comfortable and homely, despite my last minute change in plans. I left having made a new friend! The location is ideal and I will be regular. The breakfast hit the spot after days on the road. Felt like my mother tending to me when I was young. I left with my cup flowing over!

There was great privacy within the accommodation. The area is very quiet and the yard is filled with greenery. It was honestly a breath of fresh air. A great breakfast was served each morning as well. The staff are very friendly and readily available.

Breakfast was amazing, staff super-friendly and accommodating. Tranquil surroundings and having a pool in the mini-heat wave was a win!

The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. The spaces; pool area, lounge, dinning room and kitchen areas were spacious and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating and extremely helpful when we had other people around for a braai one of the evenings.

The guest house is slightly outdated. Some of the areas are in need of a revamp.
