The rate was good and it was close to the airport. Wifi was available in the reception area. Breakfast was fine (an English type). The meal we had in the evening was very inexpensive, but very mediocre. The room was small and couldn't get much on the television. We had an evening plane out, but had to check out at... More

Due to a delayed flight arrival to joburg we needed to find a room near the airport before we could continue our trip. Emerald guest house was a very good solution. They picked us up from the airport. That was very appreciable after a tiring flight.

I just did an overnight at the Emerald Guest House due to a 24 hour flight connection time. What sealed the deal was the airport pick-up/drop off. In a city with a bad reputation it was extremely convenient to have a designated lift to and from the airport - definitely worth it! Aside from that the staff were helpful, the... More

We recently stayed for one night while collecting our mother/grandmother from ORTambo. Service was very friendly & efficient, and the cottage, 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, was perfect for our needs. Evening meal simple but tasty, and a good cooked breakfast the next morning. Was impressed with the airport shuttle (midnight), sparkling pools, children's play area and animal menagerie! Very close... More

This guest house fit our needs of a cheap place close to the airport where we could crash after several long flights from the USA, before we flew out again the next day. The free transportation to and from the airport worked for us, and there was no need to call more than once from the airport. The food was... More

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Rooms are clean and comfortable. There is a beautiful pool to relax at during the day. Definitely a great place to stay. Also the free airport shuttle is really convenient.

Great place. Inexpensive, close to airport (with efficient pick-up service), clean, helpful staff. Room small, but for the price it was fine. There are no restaurants or shops within walking distance so you have to rely on the guesthouse food. Very basic (and cheap). Filled a hole, but would have been nice to have choice of something a bit fancier.... More

Good place near the airport. Rooms small but very clean. Good price and good place if you are looking for a hôtel when you are in transit in Joburg, like us. Good service (someone picks up you at the airport and bring you back if you need.
