Thank you Kobus and Franki for an awesome stay in your beautiful home. I loved the sunrise views, your gorgeous garden and the serenity of being up above the Johannesburg skyline. Considerate, hospitable and kind hosts... interesting chats and a clean, stunning, restful and private space. And I loved the dogs plenty I'll be back! Count on it

It was a good stay, the room was nice and has a comfortable bed. The host was very accommodating and friendly so I can recommend the place, it is very price worthy.

Bibi was friendly and even waited for me outside. The room was clean with ample pillows and blankets. It was great to have a full bath and lie in it for a long time.

Bibi and her family really made us feel so welcome. We booked just before arriving and everything still went so smooth. Bibi recommended the nearby Founders restaurant to us for dinner and that was absolutely fabulous! I had some fantastic prawns. Our room was very comfortable and a lovely bathroom all to ourselves. The only problem for me was the sound of cars and traffic but only because I am absolutely not used to hearing any traffic. This is really a very comfortable and affordable stay. I can highly recommend Clivia Cottage

this was really special airbnb experience!! Bibi's family is soo awesome and lovely and caring and willing,, we felt really welcomed and nice there,, superhighlyrecomended! :)

Bibi is very nice and her family also very warm and provide all comfortable service for me, I strongly recommend this room, and hope to come next time.

Bibi was super accommodating when I only arrived at 23:00. Check in was easy and quick. Would definitely stay there again.

If you need a lively down to earth and friendly host, Clive cottage is the place to go. Bibi is a wonderful person.

My stay at bib’s house was lovely, the room was cosy and the house overall was homely. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at their home. Bibi and her daughter Alya really made me feel at home and I felt completely safe and happy. Bibi helped to arrange a way for me to travel into the city for my internship and any questions I had she gave me really sound advice. She is definitely my mom away from home . I spent some time getting to know Bibi and her family and friends. As a people they are both very kind, spiritual and interesting people who also share a love of travel. It was a great start to my journey in Johannesburg and I’m sure we will explore Johannesburg at some point during my time in South Africa.

The hostess made me feel extremely welcome and was very considerate towards my schedule. The hostess created a social platform and it felt like home in the time of my stay.

Staying at Samantha's was one of our best air bnb experiences. We arrived late in Johannesburg and she was so helpful with our late checkin despite her being down with the flu. The cottage was very clean and it had a homely feel to it. We had a lovely time and the neighborhood feels safe and quite. We would highly recommend Samantha's place. Great host and great conversation!!!!!

Great home, great host and close to everything you'll need.

good neighborhood. very accommodating host. best experience yet

Staying at Sam's place was more than comfortable! I was surprisingly pleased that Sam offered me to park my car in the garage, while her car was in the garden. The bed is really comfortable, internet is superfast and I had all necessities available to cook my meals. It was also great to have the company of her pets in the garden. Beautiful place!

One of the best places I stayed using AirBnB! Samantha is amazing and her house is a perfect place to stay when in Johannesburg!

Sam is a really great host. She was really helpfull and gave us great advices. The cottage where we spent some days is well furnished. The house is secured. Thank you so much !

I had the most wonderful time staying with Sam, her son, Max (and their pets Mr. Pennybowl and Jozi!). They are such lovely people - I felt right at home from the get-go. Sam is so warm, welcoming, kind and helpful. A month later, and I feel like I'm a part of the family now :) The cottage is great - it had everything I needed plus the company of pets in the backyard which was a bonus :) And if I was there during summer I would have been in the pool everyday! It's a 15 minute walk from the Spar (supermarket) on Main Road where there are also a few take-away food places and its another 15 minute walk from there to 7th street in Melville. I walked that route many times during my stay but in the evenings when it was dark, I just took a tuk tuk which only costs R20! It's great for a short or a long stay. Go ahead and book, don't give it a second thought ;-)

If you're looking for a heart felt home, quiet scenery and some outta the city time, Jo-Anna & Johnny's the place to be! Watch out for their official name! ;-)

Great hosts and going above & beyond to make you feel at home away from home.

Fantastic spot. So well thought out. We were made to feel so special with snacks, wine and a fabulous host. Loved the decor and all the thought that went into making our stay so special!

Great place! I highly recommend. Very stylish with great attention to detail. Quiet but walking distance from restaurants/bars. Will definitely come back

A beautifully decorated and comfortable place with everything you need. Lisa was very warm and helpful.

Great modern space, with an industrial chic finish. Space is cleverly utilized and were pleasantly surprised by the host providing a few amenities such as fruit and wine amongst a few other things. Features such as electric blankets and full dstv bouquet make the stay even better. Lisa is a very warm and friendly individual who respects and gives you your space

Apart from a welcoming and cosy vibe as far as the cottage is concerned, the location is perfect for those who enjoy some peace and tranquility, but with the vibey 7th Street strip only a couple of blocks away. The best of both worlds! And Lisa goes out of her way to ensure both comfort and security. A big thank you!

Lisa's place is a cut above honestly. Beatifully decorated, mostly new, lovely art, cozy... I'll be coming back often.

Hands down, my favourite spot in Joburg :)

Beautiful cottage with everything you'll need. Central location and Lisa is great!

The place is really nice and as it was described. The area is close to everything what you need...They are so welcoming, helpfull and nice! Thanks for everything!

Had an amazing time in Joburg at Grenvilles and Marloes House. Planned to stay here 2 weeks, but stayed for 8 months in the end. I felt very comfortable and warm welcomed - more like staying with friends! The garden cottage is also very sweet and has enough space to feel at home. The area is perfect - its a quiet, safe place, but close to Melville and not far from the City! All thumbs up and thanks guys again for the amazing stay!

Very pleasant and fitted my specifications well

This place is a great place to stay - decorated with love, clean and comfortable. It has a nice poole as well. The hosts are amazing - both Marloes and Genville treated me like as friend rather than like a paying client. Their hospitality made me feel welcome from the first to the last minute - this place is highly recommendable.

Good place for a small family. Not far from Joburg's Centre. The hosts always on stand-by for helping and responding questions.

We really appreciate the hospitality of the Grenvilles. They made us feel very at home and even see to our safety when we went out in the night. There's a little confusion though in locating the address which was at 2nd Avenue Westdene. We ended at the Melville side of the street. Overall we had a pleasant experience.

Great place. Quiet neighbourhood. Close to amenities. Great hosts. Nice quiet and private abode for guests. Adequately furnished and comfortable. I had a great stay with Grenville and Marloes. They are friendly and accommodating hosts. Thank you Grenville and Marloes.

If you're about staying in the Melville/Westdene area, Grenville's place is the place to be. Great host, always available and the place is cosy and neat. Absolutely loved my stay and totally recommend his place to you.

Can't express enough the level of graciousness and hospitality offered by the staff at Thornton Gap. They took our 12 night stay, which stretched over both Christmas and New Year's, and turned their B&B into a home for our family during a very difficult time. We would whole-heartedly, and do, recommend Gordon, his staff and Thornton Gap to anyone remotely considering a stay in Johannesburg, whether for one night or two weeks. For brevity's sake: it's very clean, very trendy, comfortable, cozy, cost effective and fun.

Thornton Gap is definitely a hidden gem and a great place to stay while in Joberg. Gordon was the ultimate host from pre-trip to the end. Stayed there with my family of three teenaged boys and they had their own privacy, wifi and access to foods and amenities. Each day a very nice breakfast was served at the time you want - the staff there was very friendly and accommodating. We have stayed a many AirBnB's and this was the first time we actually met the manager/staff as he greeted us and was there each day. We stayed there when we first got to Joberg and did some trips in between and the night before we left, we stayed there again. It was like coming home :) Thank you Gordon, Selli and all the staff at Thornton Gap...we will definitely have to come back again!

My colleagues traveled to Johannesburg for work and stayed at Gordon's Guesthouse and they have nothing but GREAT things to say about their stay. One of my colleagues described the experience as the following: "The space was immaculately clean, decorated and furnished. It was comfortable and stylish. Our host, Gordon, showed he cared about our experience by going beyond in terms of preparing breakfast according to our preference, timing of the breakfast, recommending restaurants and other locations about town, bringing out extra adapters for our team to better work together without even being asked, and baking muffins for us when we were working together as a team all day long. The wifi was excellent as well! I look forward to returning to the location and seeing Gordon again." A second colleague describes: "Gordon's Airbnb was simply the best Airbnb experience I have ever had. I really enjoyed my stay, his excellent attention to detail, kindness and humility. Amazing breakfast, excellent wifi, and secure neighborhood for jogging to top all that. I recommend it to anyone and will definitely be back again very soon!" Thank you Gordon!! Our organization is looking forward to placing our international staff at your guesthouse in the future. We appreciate your hospitality

Gordon is a super host and what a beautiful place he has we would rate it as a 5 star accommodation, (our opinion) his attention to detail is impeccable the decor is amazing. Our room was very comfortable and absolutely spotless the lovely linen and towels were very luxurious not to forget the toiletries that he supplied. There is a tv in your room and one in the kitchen/dinning/ lounge room which is open plan and looks like it could be in a vogue magazine but is very inviting and comfortable, we spent most of our time in there. There is also security parking and is very well lit. There is a full breakfast from cereals, fruit & yogurt to a full English breakfast cooked by Gordon himself and what a delicious breakfast it was.We found Gordon to be very friendly, he immediately made us feel at home offering us something to drink and making us feel welcome, we couldn't find anywhere to have dinner that night and Gordon came to our rescue by offering us food, we decided to have takeaway and because we didn't have a phone Gordon Went out of his way to help us order dinner, he really couldn't do enough for us, he is such a lovely man.

Gorden's place is beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail including luxury fittings and towels etc. We took the whole guest house and felt very much at home. Just about everywhere we wanted to go was 20 to 30 minutes away so it was very convenient. We will definitely be back!

Thornton Gap Guesthouse is fantastic. Behind a regular looking facade and security gates lies a brilliant guesthouse that is anything but regular. The rooms are superb with all of the amenities you would hope for. En suite bathrooms/ shower rooms stocked with great toiletries. Comfortable beds meticulously turned down every day. Smart TVs with access to Netflix, satellite tuners and wi-fi. The decor is stylish and carefully thought through without being fussy or (URL HIDDEN) is unquestionably an excellent place to stay. And all that before mention of the real highlight of the place - the team. The guesthouse staff are extremely friendly and the daily breakfasts (accommodated at any time that suits the guests) were absolutely delicious. In charge of all of this is Gordon. An incredible host that went beyond the extra mile to make our stay truly memorable. Gordon is the most attentive, courteous, friendly, helpful, considerate host I have ever had. He achieves all of this without being intrusive which is even more impressive. Throughout our stay he was amazing. A real 10 out of 10 host that helped us whenever we required. There really is nothing that Gordon won't do for his guests and I cannot recommend him and the Thornton Gap Guesthouse highly enough. He should have superhost status bestowed. We will definitely be returning but until then i hope you get to enjoy this gold-standard hospitality. Dominic

Gary and Chelsea were amazing hosts. The pool area was fantastic, as was the coffee and breakfast. We would definitely stay again next time we are in the area!

Gary was always approachable. even in the morning always made me an espresso. Super nice. For transportation to various facilities was always his mother at hand. Have felt very well. Gladly again.

I had a really enjoyable time at The Nature Reserve Hideaway. Gary and his family have been awesome hosts in being very arranging and helpful giving me ride when needed. If you are searching for a calm place away from the city buzz, Gary's place is a perfect fit.

We had a great stay and delicious breakfast every morning. For nature lovers and keen hikers it is the perfect place to stay as it borders on a beautiful nature reserve with lots of wild animals and walking paths for those who want to just take a leisurely stroll to the more serious hikers. The location was very central for us as we first travelled to Vanderbijlpark and then to central Johannesburg and finally to the Cradle of Humankind. Mondeor was about in the middle.

Staying with Gary was such a treat. Such a warm welcome, delicious coffees, great personal service, and cleanliness! We had an amazing stay with Gary and will definitely return should we be returning to the area.

The location close to nature and tranquility made me feel safe and home. The friendly and sincerity experienced from host is something I always will treasure. Thanks Gary.

Hosts were friendly and very accomodating. Comfortable and spacious accommodation with great views and great library. Got treated to a nutritious breakfast and awesome coffee. Would definitely visit again.

We had a great stay at Gary's. Gary and his wife were very friendly and helpful - providing lots of info about the local area (where to eat etc.) as well as info about where else to go on our trip of South Africa. The accommodation is in a very nice and peaceful neighbourhood, right next to a nature reserve where you can go running with boks, zebras and wildebeest. Also in a good location for doing tours of Soweto. Also enjoyed spending time in their pool in the morning, so all in all an excellent stay!

Lauren and Clayton's home is cool chilled and in a very peaceful environment. Totally value for money.

Great stay as always!

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Great cozy little unit, easy uber access to shopping centres, nice leafy suburban streets for short walks, friendly dogs

Excellent location, great place, very peaceful. Lauren was fantastic and a very good host. Lots of attention to detail and the place is well equipped. I liked the little extras like the Romany Creams, coffee/tea/fresh milk and chocolates next to the artistic towel display. Very comfy bed and great water pressure in the shower. Nice to have a lounge area and also the setting by the Koi pond with the sound of running water. I would recommend this place

Clayton and Lauren. Great couple and amazing hospitality. If you want a balance between work and home. That's the place to be.

The place is amazing and host is friendly and kind. Will recommend

Well equipped unit in a quiet street. Perfect for a quick getaway
