    It's a lovely property and safe. The host is very nice and welcoming. Shower, bed, and everything are wonderful. If you need a place to stay, this is an excellent choice!

    It took some time to find a conversion plug for my hairdryer and as far as I could see there was no hairdryer in the unit. I eventually found a plug next to the bed that I could use. There were no clear instructions on what to do with the keys on departure. We were however able to contact Deidre who immediately assisted us, even though it was early in the morning, but clear instructions in the room would have been useful.

    Location is quiet even though it is very close to the heart of the Sandton Business District. It took us only minutes to get to the Sandton Convention Centre. The guest units are set in a lovely garden with an outside seated area and a pond nearby. On arrival, I realised that I had forgotten my contact lens kit at home. Deidre went out of her way to assist me with lens holders and some eye drops to see me through to the next day. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. I can definitely recommend it and will use it again if I have business in the area.

    The room isn't intended to be set up this way, but what would have been ideal for me would have been a more stocked kitchen facility for cooking.

    Deirdre is very friendly and helpful, and accommodated my late arrival. The place is perfect for a single traveler looking for a quiet place to relax, with location close to Sandton. Comfortable bed too.

    The location is very safe. The trees and plants make it a refreshing place to stay at. There's maintenance work done in the yard so it's always clean. My room was super clean, the bedding was freshly washed, the bathroom was well maintained and clean as well. I had 3 lamps that didn't require electricity for when load shedding happens which was a lively touch.
