10 2nd Avenue Houghton Estate by Dream Resorts

As American travelers in South Africa, we quickly learned that 'You are welcome' isn't just a polite response to 'thank you'—it's an open-hearted greeting. From the moment we arrived at Ten 2nd Avenue, we felt genuinely embraced. The hotel shuttle drivers were safe, friendly, and always ready with helpful tips. Every staff member we met was courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. They’d often call us on the hotel phone right when we realized we needed something—asking if we needed exactly that. Breakfast each morning was a delight, carefully prepared, and served with genuine care. The property itself was secure, spotless, cheerfully decorated, and beautifully landscaped. Our only regret? Not staying longer. We’re already planning our return visit!

Villa Simonne

Staying at Villa Simonne was an absolute delight from start to finish. The hotel has such a unique, eclectic vibe with beautifully designed lounging areas on each floor—perfect for relaxing or unwinding after a long day. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the breakfast was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The only minor issue was that one of the balcony doors in our room lacked curtains or shades, but since we were on the third floor, it didn’t really affect privacy or comfort. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. The ambiance, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made it unforgettable. I’d absolutely book again if I ever return to Johannesburg.
