We were a big group and the establishment was perfect. The staff upon arrival were super friendly and very welcoming. The pool was such a welcome relief on what was a very hot weekend.

It would be great if all rooms at showers - but we knew the setup when booking and just shared the showers with friends who had showers.

Breakfast was very nice. The property has a nice garden and the interior is well decorated. They have back-up electricity when there is load shedding.

I was staying in room 10. The clothes rack with the hangers in the corner seems odd and somehow out of place.

An exceptionally beautiful house surrounded by a charming garden, in a safe and quiet area of Johannesburg. The room had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The house is filled with history and beautiful antiques that can be viewed indefinitely. Sarah is hospitable, friendly and very sociable. We were happy to spend the night here, it's a pity that only one.

Clean, neat and safe

The bathtub water ran out very slow..i think plumber needs to have a look...the water in the morning was nt hot...we had to leave very early..so i think the geyser was probably set off to kick in at normal wake up times

The breakfast was absolutely delicious.

everything was lovely. I would say the only thing that could have been changed is the shower head.
