What guests are saying about their stay:
“The house and grounds were more like a small resort/lodge than a regular home. The bedrooms were more than ample and the living space was fabulous. Couple all of this with a beautiful swimming pool, tennis courts, and even a trampoline and you get the idea. We were lovingly cared for by Shoes: A terrific housekeeper who made sure our every need was met. This was a stunningly good stay in Johannesburg!” - by Dr Robert V L. (Florida)
