Located just 3.1 km from Observatory Golf Club, The Great Gatsby Houghton provides accommodation in Johannesburg with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a shared kitchen. The property features pool and garden views, and is 3.1 km from Johannesburg Stadium. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

Great location - closed to everything yet very peaceful -, impressive interiors and impeccable hospitality! You get to ask yourself if it is really worth it to leave the Gatsby and visit the city, because spending time enjoying the beautiful guesthouse´s spaces is in itself a great experience. Awesome breakfast as well, with the opportunity to meet other guests at a common table (as I did) or to enjoy it in a private space, according to your preferences. The icing on the cake was spending some time chatting with Gina, super friendly and helpful owner, and enjoying a love overload from the cutest little and well-behaved dog, Bella.

Guest rooms in the guest house are equipped with a flat-screen TV. Pablo House features certain units that include a terrace, and all rooms have a coffee machine. The rooms will provide guests with a private bathroom.

I had such a great time staying at Pablo house. To start with the place itself, the rooms are very large, spacious and very clean. The surrounding area is one of the safest in Johannesburg, with 24-hour security, so I felt very safe. And the view on all Johannesburg is breathtaking, so get your camera ready, you'll get a great view, especially of the sunsets! The hotel has everything I needed: swimming pool, restaurant which is absolutely excellent for very affordable prices, I couldn't believe it. Last but not least, I was charmed by the service and dedication that Leigh and Louis (the hosts) gave me. After getting to know each other, they gave me tips and advices for my trip and are so kind and friendly that I now want to come back and see them.

    Beautiful property. Very green and lush, it felt like a weekend away at a nature retreat. Naomi was the perfect host, she went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was comfortable. The facilities were all well functional, and clean. I’d definitely recommend this guesthouse to my friends and family, and I’d love to visit again.

    The apartment was conducive for the family. The kids enjoyed the NETFLIX package you have in the property. The apartment indeed played as our second home away from home.

    A bit strange staying in a Theme Park but it felt safe and was convenient for walking to the Apartheid Museum. Free entry to park included. Decent size rooms with good bathroom with plenty of hot water. Fun entertainment in the evening at the Casino with a free shuttle from the hotel. Plenty of family style restaurants to choose from. Good buffet breakfast in a next door restaurant with eggs cooked freshly to order.
