    The gardens, the setting, the location, the at home feel about it and still within a major city setting! You don’t feel the presence of other guests as there’s enough breathing room space for everyone to move around.

    Where do I start? Ruth and her team are exceptional in everything they do, and they really went out of their way to accommodate all my needs. Truly a house away from home. Would highly recommend them if you want excellent service that feels like...

Green Gables
The guest house has been developed to provide a high level of comfort and privacy. At the same time a conscious effort has been made to retain the character of the property. This means that the property has not been over-developed, therefore retaining and enhancing the feeling of a country residence. We are situated within the gated area of Rivonia Valley, which provides 24 hour access control and security. There is ample secure parking and guests are provided with their own remote controls. Rivonia is well provided with shops and restaurants, which are only a short distance from the guest house. The 10 bedrooms are all en-suite with private entrances and gardens. these provide unbelievable comfort and you wont know you are in busy surrounds!!
Green Gables was established in 2005 and has been going strong ever since. We pride ourselves on delivering great service at affordable prices. Our guest reviews speak for themselves.
In a boomed off area the Guest house offers a beautiful leafy suburb you are safe to walk in. You can forget you're in the city the place is so quiet and peaceful
