I enjoyed the stay

Excellent location. Excellent staff

Still trying to find something I didn't like: nothing

I enjoyed feeling at home as a guest, the invitation to sit in the lounge room for a conversation, the kindness and understanding.

Good location, safe, welcoming. Rooms are lovely. Bath was huge. The mini bar was a nice touch and super reasonable price. Breakfast was great and the staff were nice

Great living space being quite large and with a backyard and pool. There are also 2 very friendly dogs. They loved attention.

Fantastic welcome into a beautiful home. The bedroom was large and well equipped. The mattress was very comfortable and pleasing decor plys a nice view over the garden and pool. It is worth staying here just for the exceptional design and architecture of the building. Modern, airy, and full of artwork... The location is in a beautiful tree lined avenue in a very good area of Johannesburg. I look forward to my next visit to Houghton Place.

We picked this place 'cause it was so close to an event we needed to attend. Have stayed here before and everything was just as great. Friendly staff and host. Very accommodating.

Apparently it is necessary to agree the time of breakfast upfront as on my last day, it was Sunday I needed to leave at 8am but there was nobody awake. I felt sorry to wake the owners up to sort out the bill and eventually had to leave without a breakfast. Not a big deal but be aware to sort everything upfront.

The owners are very welcoming, they give you a lot of tips for sightseeing and restaurants and you can basically hang around with them in the garden. The area is very safe but everybody uses uber wherever they go anyway. The room was very comfortable, good bed. Part of the bathroom has a milky glass wall towards the hallway but the hallway is only shared by the 3 guest rooms (so no real traffic on the hallway). I noticed water was leaking from the bathroom to the hallway - it can be fixed. However the light on the hallway was on the whole night so bring a face sleeping mask.

The house is unique and lovely. Fabulous hosts who I thoroughly liked. It is extremely well located for Rosebank and the motorway.

That there was no aircornditioner in my room and it was extremely hot, due to the weather outside.

The place was beautiful and the owners are very friendly. The staff is super friendly too. All round great experience.

Houghton Place is a perfectly situated guesthouse, in a quiet neighborhood close to some of the best restaurants in the country, art galleries, and other interesting places to go. The owners and staff are welcoming, the breakfast excellent, and the sound of birds at dawn the perfect way to wake up!

Houghton Place is a lovely landing spot for a solo traveller whether on business or leisure. The kind hosts Sam and Janice are wonderful and their two doggies are friendly. You feel at home in Sam and Janice's home. I would definitely recommend Houghton Place if you are looking for a spot in the suburbs of Jozi.

Sam and Janice are wonderful hosts! Their home is lovely, artistic with easy clear aura. Teddy and Milo were a treat also.

Breakfast was divine - yogurt, eggs and bacon to order, fresh fruit, coffee and tea. The room was quiet and comfortable. The best part was the hospitality of the hosts. Loved my stay here.

The house is stunning, very spacious and modern, tastefully decorated giving it a peaceful atmosphere. The owner, Sam, was warm, welcoming and friendly. The garden and swimming pool are lovely and make you forget that you are in a big city! The bedroom is spacious too, the bed is extremely comfortable, the bathroom really lovely and clean and the room has everything you need. Breakfast was delicious and home cooked. I loved their two beautiful labrador dogs too.

The TV was not connected to the internet, so it did not work. Some of the furnishings are showing signs of wear and tear, Similarly, the floor covering in the bathroom requires maintenance. I did not like the glass wall that separates the public passage from the bathroom, it does not feel private and the passage light remained on until 24:00 which meant the room was not dark enough to facilitate a good sleep.

The property was well located for my purposes, the room spacious and comfortable and a nice view from the room not the garden. Secure parking is available on the premises and Patricia was very friendly and efficient with the check-in process.
