My stay at Fishbird Art Deco Villa was absolutely lovely. Percy and Xavier are fantastic hosts who truly looked after us—we always felt safe and cared for. Every morning, Percy prepared the most delicious breakfasts with special touches and great attention to detail. He is an excellent chef, and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts on the terrace. As for the villa itself, it is exquisitely decorated, with beautiful wooden floors, stunning period light switches, and elegant lighting. It feels like a true piece of Johannesburg’s architectural history. The house has a warm, sunny atmosphere, beautiful vast views to the north, and a lovely big swimming pool. When I visit that side of town again, I would absolutely book Fishbird Villa without hesitation. Thank you, Xavier & Percy, for such a special experience!

Extremely clean, modern design, fully equipped, quiet and peaceful ! It felt like our own little bubble. Our hosts were very friendly and provided great advice for jogging routes!! The place was cleaned every day and we got fresh towels daily as well. But I was most impressed and pleasantly suprised with the continental breakfast. Normally we do not expect much from a continental breakfast but the amount of effort that went in here was incredible and deliscious (Boiled eggs, yoghurt, muesli and fruit jars, flat break, croissants, assorted meats, fruit and juices!! We tried our best but we could not finish the spread! We enjoyed our stay so much we tacked on two extra nights!!

Absolutely Everything! Estella was really efficient and even though we arrived late, and we hadn't informed her of our arrival time due to technical problems, she welcomed us and made us settle nicely. The breakfast selection was as good as you can find in a good restaurant. See photo. We stayed here for 2 nights and had the pleasure of selecting 2 diferent main breakfast options. We also met the David and Patricia, the owners. Such wonderful hosts and we enjoyed talking to them very much. David showed us around his property and made time to find out more about us. The property is very well kept. The gardens are a delight to see. Would love to come back in full bloom to enjoy the space more. This is a gem in Jo Burg!

The reception by Thapelo got us off to a great start. We really liked how the rooms were centred around a lavender garden. The interior itself was clean, light and well maintained with a very comfortable bed. Although we didn’t need it, the rooms had ample load shedding preparations which is not always a given. Would gladly be back!

The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
