We stayed at Cotswold Gardens for two nights, just before embarking on our safari. We had never been to Johannesburg before, and we were very fortunate to find such a lovely place to stay. It is in a convenient location. The rooms were very nice, and very comfortable. The garden and pool were very peaceful areas. All in all, it... More

Dear Ron Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It was a pleasure 'working' with you to organise for your party of 9. I just love having a large party of people that know each other as everyone gives such different opinions on what they have experienced in Johannesburg and this is always interesting. I am also delighted that... More

This was my first time staying in central Johannesburg and I was a little apprehensive having heard about crime etc (my partner however is a former Johannesburg resident so much more blasé than me!). We stayed for three nights at the end of our trip to South Africa and thoroughly enjoyed our time at Cotswold Gardens. It is very central... More

Started our safari trip by spending a couple of days in Johannesburg. We could not have asked for anything nicer or more welcoming than Cotswold Gardens. Beautifully maintained, lovely neighborhood, comfortable rooms. And Janine and Michael went far out of their way to make our visit memorable. Janine organized shuttles to and from the airport, tours of the city, restaurants,... More

Stayed here with my sister when our travel plans coincided for a couple of days. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Johannesburg. Perfect location, walking distance to Rosebank Mall. Owners are very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful for booking tours, taxis, and really anything you could need. They connected us to an art... More

What a lovely central location! This was a business trip and I have recently been trying out various B&B's as I do not like hotels. This is close to business, malls, restaurants, gyms etc. but it still feels like a lovely garden retreat. Excellent service & breakfasts, friendly staff.
