    We had the best time in Agterplaas guesthouse. The host did everything to make feel at home : they even upgraded our room for free once we arrived. Besides, they made sure we got everything we needed for our 10 months old baby. The room are very spacious and comfortable, located in a very safe aera in Johannesburg (we could easily go out, have drinks and lunch by foot). And the breakfast, which is included, is excellent. Fresh baked bread, fresh fruits, very good muffins… Thank you for everything !

    Pecan Tree Guesthouse is in a very quiet, secure area. The location for us was perfect as we needed to be at St Stithians Aquatic Centre each day (for 4days). The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable and the hosts were very friendly , supportive and helpful. This is certainly great value for your money. Breakfast was delicious especially the omelette prepared by Maria. We will certainly be back and we would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. Good provision has been made for power during the regular load shedding time slots.
