John is an amazing host, very attentive and welcoming, we enjoyed every moment of our stay in his guesthouse. Breakfast was great, John cooked it for us himself. The neighbourhood is nice and safe by Johannesburg standarts, it's not very close to main attractions, but in some way it's even better. The room was great, always clean, all the facilities are in good condition. We had everything that we needed, including european sockets and bottled water. There were some temporary problems with running water in the neighbourhood for a day or two, but we were provided with plenty of drinking and technical water, so it didn't affected our stay. Overall, it's a great accommodation with a truly welcoming atmosphere, highly recommend

“Warm and welcoming house, simply perfect!”
I think this is my fourth time at John’s wonderful place, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Joburg! The rooms are very pretty, comfortable, and clean, as is the bathroom; the great attention to details is another plus. Breakfast is rich and served in a spacious and beautiful dining room. The house is so warm and welcoming, and John is always there to make your experience unforgettable.

“Exceptional hospitality and an unforgettable stay”
At the end of our wonderful three-week journey around a variety of places in South Africa, returning to John and Pam at 125 felt like coming home. Their guesthouse is a true haven for travellers, offering not only comfort, but genuine care, attention, and interest in their guests as people. The rooms are huge, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the breakfasts are fabulous, with a full range of delicious offerings to suit every taste. They also have a beautiful garden where we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and watching a variety of colourful and interesting birds. For anyone concerned about safety, we felt completely secure throughout our stay. During the day we happily walked the 20 minutes to enjoy the fantastic range of nearby restaurants, cafés, delis, and shops, and in the evenings it was easy and inexpensive to access Ubers for the short trip back after dark. Thank you, John and Pam, for your kindness, care, and exceptional hospitality. You made our stay truly memorable, and we would not hesitate to return.

“Wonderful host and property.”
We had a truly fabulous stay with John. From the very moment we booked, his warmth and kindness were evident, and it was such a comfort to be greeted by a friendly, welcoming face at the airport after a long flight into South Africa. The property itself is exceptional elegantly comfortable, beautifully maintained, and incredibly restful. We slept soundly each night and started every day with a delicious breakfast. The location is also ideal, with easy access to a variety of excellent restaurants and shops, as well as convenient for exploring Pretoria and Johannesburg. We felt very safe throughout our stay and enjoyed daytime walks of about 25 minutes to nearby shops and restaurants. In the evenings, getting back was effortless and safe with readily available Ubers. We are already looking forward to returning for a couple of nights at the end of our South African journey. All in all, a wonderful experience. Thank you John.
