We had an incredible stay at the Wantage Suites! The place was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. The staff and the manager were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk to McDonald's and a 5-minute walk to Rosebank Mall. They even allowed us to store our luggage after check-out, which was a huge convenience. Highly recommend this place!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Bryanston Boutique for two weeks and I genuinely didn’t want to leave. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The location is perfect, peaceful, safe and conveniently situated in Johannesburg’s Bryanston area. The guest house itself is spotless, with a beautiful garden that adds a sense of calm and charm to the whole experience. My room was incredibly spacious and the bed, honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. The staff are friendly and attentive and together with the host, go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and cared for. It’s clear that a lot of love and thought goes into every detail. This place offered me comfort, security and that “home away from home” feeling. I can’t recommend The Bryanston Boutique enough. I’ll definitely be back!

Rivonia Guest House has more rooms than what we thought. Spacious. Kitchen asnyou come in with microwave, fridge, kettle and Smart TV and Internet Wifi. Comfortable bed which is high, with soft linen. Cleaning was done each day by two passionate ladies who insisted that they want to do so, each day, not only on our departure. There was both a coffee table and chair, and a work-desk and chair, as well. The Manager, Vasco, made us feel welcome and at home from the first moment of meeting each other at the gate. He showed us to the rooms and assured us that henis easily reached at all times althougu we didn't needn to. On departure, we said our goodbye"s and again, it felt like leaving home, as we felt comfortable and could easily communicate and got along well. It was all we needed and more. Oh, and there was an iron and iron board and hairdryer as well, hangers in the cupboard and charging plugs at the bedside tables. No carpets, but tiles, just loose small carpets. Which is ideal. The water was hot, and there was soap, shampoo and hand wash, and enough toilet paper and coffee, tea, etc. sachets. You can even let them know if you need more coffee or milk sachets. We were very comfortable and will stay there again. Thank you Vasco and Team!

Not only is the place in an easy location but they made sure to think of everything you could ever need. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. Could have hunkered down there for the entire vacation. Breakfast is amazing and Mark and Sheryl were so friendly and accommodating. Even when we had to check in late, they made sure we had everything we could need
