I just did an overnight at the Emerald Guest House due to a 24 hour flight connection time. What sealed the deal was the airport pick-up/drop off. In a city with a bad reputation it was extremely convenient to have a designated lift to and from the airport - definitely worth it! Aside from that the staff were helpful, the... More

We recently stayed for one night while collecting our mother/grandmother from ORTambo. Service was very friendly & efficient, and the cottage, 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, was perfect for our needs. Evening meal simple but tasty, and a good cooked breakfast the next morning. Was impressed with the airport shuttle (midnight), sparkling pools, children's play area and animal menagerie! Very close... More

This guest house fit our needs of a cheap place close to the airport where we could crash after several long flights from the USA, before we flew out again the next day. The free transportation to and from the airport worked for us, and there was no need to call more than once from the airport. The food was... More

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a beautiful pool to relax at during the day. Definitely a great place to stay. Also the free airport shuttle is really convenient.

We found the Emerald Guest House to be tip top, service was good , no problem with escorting us to and from the airport on time , the breakfast was outstanding , something to remember . We will defenitly book in again if the occasion arises . Thank You..

Great place. Inexpensive, close to airport (with efficient pick-up service), clean, helpful staff. Room small, but for the price it was fine. There are no restaurants or shops within walking distance so you have to rely on the guesthouse food. Very basic (and cheap). Filled a hole, but would have been nice to have choice of something a bit fancier.... More

The arrangement was that I would be picked up at the International Arrivals Tourist Info desk Terminal A at 5.30 pm on Sat March 2nd 2013. I was there and waited and waited and .....waited . Eventually I asked a man who had a card for the Airport... More

Good place near the airport. Rooms small but very clean. Good price and good place if you are looking for a hôtel when you are in transit in Joburg, like us. Good service (someone picks up you at the airport and bring you back if you need.

We came upon Emerald Guest House because we were looking for somewhere close to the airport. They have been RUDE, INCOMPETANT and UNHELPFUL at every turn. First we paid upfront for one of our engineers to stay there and inspite of thier own terms and conditions not warning you, they refused to refund us and the staff taking calls REFUSED... More
