Grace Guest House

We stayed at the charming self-catering cottage on a peaceful estate, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The property is quiet, well-maintained, and offers a lovely garden with a refreshing pool—perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The hosts were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the delicious breakfast served before check-out—it was a thoughtful touch. Secure parking was available, which added to the peace of mind. The only minor suggestion would be upgrading the shower mixer tap and showerhead, as they could use a bit more modernization. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations—great location, excellent comfort, and a wonderful balance between privacy and hospitality. A truly memorable stay.

Accoustix Backpackers Hostel

The stay was generally positive, with the highlight being the excellent swimming pool and beautifully maintained garden—clearly a result of dedicated care from the groundskeeper. It made the property feel peaceful and welcoming. That said, the kitchen could use some improvement—there were no drinking glasses at all, and cooking utensils were limited. Bringing your own glassware is a must. Despite this small drawback, the overall experience was solid, especially for the price. The location is convenient for exploring Johannesburg, and public transport access is straightforward. A great option if you're looking for a relaxed, clean hostel vibe with good outdoor spaces.

Fernrez@363 - Hostel

I stayed at Fernrez@363 Hostel during my time working around Sandton, and I must say it was a great choice. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the city center and easy to reach via public transport. The hostel itself is quiet and peaceful, which made it perfect for relaxing after a long day at work. It's also very affordable, offering solid value for money without compromising on comfort. Khethiwe, the staff member I interacted with, was incredibly helpful and always went the extra mile to accommodate my needs. Knowing I could rely on them made my stay stress-free, especially when juggling a busy schedule. While the place isn’t flashy, it’s clean, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable, no-fuss base in Johannesburg with friendly service and good value, this is definitely worth considering.

The Pecan Tree Guesthouse

Staying at The Pecan Tree Guesthouse was a delightful experience. The setting is absolutely peaceful and beautifully nestled in the hills—perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat. While it's located uphill, having a car makes access seamless. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, well-prepared, and full of variety. The only minor downside was the pool's cleanliness, but since we were visiting in winter and didn’t use it, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, the ambiance, comfort, and attention to detail make this a standout choice. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway in Johannesburg.

Red Rose

We’ve stayed at this charming B&B many times now, and it’s always been a top choice whenever we visit Johannesburg. Rose and her team go above and beyond to make guests feel welcome—attentive, friendly, and never too much trouble. Both rooms are beautifully furnished, with the larger one offering generous space and excellent comfort. The beds are large and incredibly cozy, paired with high-quality linens that make for a truly restful night’s sleep. Everything is spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The location is ideal—just a short Uber ride from Sandton, with all its shopping, dining, and entertainment options within easy reach. Security is also outstanding, giving peace of mind throughout your stay. And the light breakfast? Simple but delicious, perfect to start the day. This place consistently delivers excellence, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s become our go-to when in town.

50 on Shepherd Boutique Guest House

After arriving from London, we stayed here for four nights and couldn’t have been happier. Coming from the cold, dark, damp weather in the UK to this peaceful, beautifully landscaped house with a lovely garden and swimming pool felt like stepping into a dream. Our room—the garden suite—had a direct door opening onto the outdoor space, making it feel private, secure, and incredibly relaxing. Though it’s not near public transit, we had rented a car, so that wasn’t an issue at all. Penny, our host, was absolutely charming and thoughtful—she noticed how warm we were on our first night and brought us a fan late in the evening, which was such a sweet gesture. We loved it so much that we rebooked for our final three nights in South Africa, choosing to stay at Shepherd Lodge instead of any other option. This place truly stands out for its comfort, hospitality, and serene atmosphere—highly recommend for anyone visiting Johannesburg.

The breakfasts were fresh, tasty, and perfectly prepared each morning. Our rooms were cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Getting around town was a breeze too—Ubers were readily available and the location is super convenient. If you're looking for a charming, welcoming place to stay in Johannesburg, this is it. You won’t be disappointed!
