    The property is in a quiet street with lots of greenery. There is a very beautiful, shaded garden with charms. The room was exceptional and clean. All the basic appliances were present and functioning. The bathroom was spacious, well lit snc and ventilated. Our hosts were very friendly and so welcoming. We had a great time 😊

    The location is very safe. The trees and plants make it a refreshing place to stay at. There's maintenance work done in the yard so it's always clean. My room was super clean, the bedding was freshly washed, the bathroom was well maintained and clean as well. I had 3 lamps that didn't require electricity for when load shedding happens which was a lively touch.

    Deidre has a beautiful peaceful place. She was so kind and made me feel extremely welcome. Everything was immaculate. The location is perfect, very close to Sandton CBD, yet it feels like you're tucked away in a little peace of paradise.

    When you travel a lot for work, it's the small touches that makes one guesthouse/hotel stand out from the other. Deidre and Keith as such warm, attentive hosts. Fresh milk instead of long-life milk, lovely rusks and leaving a light out by my front door for when I got back after load shedding - these are the things that will make me return. My room was super comfortable and beautifully decorated. There's a beautiful little patch of garden outside the cottage where I could sit in peace and quiet.

    It was so quiet and private, we felt safe and secure. The hosts went out of their way to help us far and beyond what we were expecting. There was always a greeting from their lovely dog Ziggy. We stayed on 3 separate occassions and made this our base. Deidre and Keith took care of our luggage, that we didn't need for short trips, while we were away

    Very charming cottage-like guesthouse surrounded by a well kept garden. Decorated with taste albeit simply. My room, set in a former stable, was quiet and very comfortable. The internet worked well. It all felt very cosy and private. Grateful for the tea, kettle, cups and courtesy snacks. I loved this place and would certainly go back!

    No A/C. The table in the garden area right outside looked incredibly inviting to do some work, but the mosquitos ate me alive in five minutes.

    Deirdre is a lovely hostess who exudes kindness and compassion. She let me check in early, made sure to make me feel right at home and even provided schedule for load shedding (power outages) via text every day. The property is a gem in a quiet, secluded and safe area, yet close to the Sandton Mall and the Gautrain Station. The beds are firm. The water pressure in the shower is great. The room is clean. I felt like a queen staying here!
