I had planned the trip as a special holiday for my mum and had been emailing Patricia many months before we arrived asking several questions to ensure I chose suitable accomodation,... More

Washing was whisked... More

Wonderful hostess and host! Couldn't have asked for more. Would recommend this fantastic B&B to anyone visiting Johannesburg. The pictures do justice to the experience but, cannot convey how warm and genuine the hosts are. As foreigners in a strange land we felt welcomed, safe and extremely comfortable.

The owner sometimes organises cosy barbecues. One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in my fifteen years of travelling . A stay there is an experience on its own... (No... More
