I've just got back to Philippines after visiting my sister, who lives and works in Johannesburg. I found Winchester Lodge on the internet after searching for a 4-Star Guest Lodge within my budget range of 350.00 to 450.00 ZAR per night. On arrival at JHB airport, I was met by the owner, Alan, who couldn't do more to make me... More

I was staying at the Lodge from the 15 December 2011 to 15 January 2012. I must say it was one of my best stays in the south of Johannesburg. The staff are very friendly and all ways there to help you if you need it. The owner of the place was great, if you needed something or need to... More
