    Very noisy area; place is neglected and mattress sagged a lot. Security lights are on all night, so bring something to cover your eyes if you want to sleep😄

    Extremely close to airport! Very friendly staff. Excellent free shuttle service every hour. Bonus — you can leave your vehicle there for R50/day which is much cheaper than the airport👍

    Lots of mosquitoes in the bedroom, room not 100% clean, little bit smelly but ok

    Bedroom clean but not 100% it was comfortable, Breakfast was good, parking was perfect. Close to the airport. Stuff picked us up from the airport and helped us with the bags to the room.

    Could not see person that was supposed to pick us up from the airport. Luckily my son came.to meet us and called the guesthouse and canceled the pick up. Would suggest if picking guest up from the airport, then to wait at the arrival lounge with a sign in hand. And make mention to guest exactly where driver will be waiting prior to guest landing. Other than the above, all else good.

    Clean, comfortable and.located near airport.

    The bathroom may need to be refreshed. Door not locking and has been reported by other guests. Rooms allocated far from each other despite being a group with kids so we chose to sleep in 1 room.

    Shuttle was on time and very polite. Close to the airport.

    I did hear quite a lot of noise at night, but it wasn't too bad. The price was on the steeper side.

    This accommodation was very convenient for someone who was only stopping over in JHB. The shuttle service from the airport makes all the difference. Some reviewers complain about a lack of hot water, but my shower was perfect. The staff were professional. The breakfast was good. It was everything I'd hoped.

    The shower cap needs replacement as the water does not flow properly. If this can be fixed, then everything about the room will be perfect.

    The room was a bit stuffy when I entered (probably very old linen - bedding and curtains). And there was too many mosquitoes (had to request for an insect killer).

    I was in transit and it's a perfect location becuase it's close to the airport. I also enjoyed their breakfast!

    I like the fact that the place was very close to the airport and was convenient for my time. the room was okay and to have both the shower and bath. I really liked the set up. I also enjoyed the breakfast which was done by very friendly kitchen stuff.

    Breakfast was pretty good, but could have been better for me as someone with dietary needs. I couldn't substitute other items in for the breakfast which meant I had to have a smaller breakfast, more flexibility would have been really appreciated.

    Cosy room, good location, helpful staff (apart from one staff member who was a little frosty initially, but warmed up!), great to have transfer from the airport.

    because it was close to the airport, there was really nothing else around. and when I asked the staff about places to go for shopping in the neighborhood , they said no places, just the Shell gas station???, but that the casino has a shopping mall. so I paid $16 for their shuttle, and there was no shopping there. later, I did find by accident a nearby, within walking, shopping centre. how did they not know? also the room was at the back of the property, dark and dingy. then because of load shedding, the power was out for over two days and their generator was not strong enough to provide power and internet and water.

    it was close to the airport. breakfast was good.
