Fantastic place to stay! I stayed long term at The Wantage Suites while visiting Johannesburg. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Location is great, super closer to mall, safe to walk around. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Joburg!

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!

Thank you Kinash and staff for the excellent service! We stayed in the Double Room. It's a beautiful place with an amazing, massive pool and pretty garden. It even has a Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom light! Keep up the good work 😍 Great value for money.

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!

As much as we got the late, the sun was long gone, I could tell the place is beautiful.. it was so nice and quiet. The room was really clean from inside out. Clean sheets, fluffy pillows... was received by Mark. Nice guy.. and Sharon was such a sweetheart. The breakfast was awesome. Inthira also, with the massage services, as someone who got a massage from a professional for the 1st time, it really felt good. I'm truly happy. I'll definitely be making a return. 🥰🥰
