Great place, great people! The rooms are confortable, the decoration is charming, the house is beautiful and the service is fantastic. And of course, the breakfest is delicious! The neighbourhood is quiet and not so far from the street with the best pubs and restaurants and Joberg. More

Can't say enough about this B&B. The rooms are well appointed and the staff are the friendliest people you'll ever meet. I felt like family for the month I was there. The food is delicious and the rooms are cleaned daily. quite possibly the nicest living arrangement I will ever experience. More
