Testimonials

To sum it up -Amazing Host, and a lovely environment. They (Cameron and Mike) went beyond what I expected to accommodate me. And to make my stay not just comfortable, but homey. Definitely not just value for money. But an amazing place to destress, relax and take a moment to find peace. I would go beyond recommending this place, and say that if you are in Johannesburg. Please go here you would never be disappointed. Keep up the amazing work guys! Definitely made a lasting impression
Duncan Singh - South Africa

Everything was spot on. Great safe location with a reasonably priced shuttle to and from the airport. The grounds were spacious and well kept. The dorms were spacious and there was plenty of hot water in the excellent showers.

The owners and staff truly go above and beyond, no request was too cumbersome. They assisted us with power adapters, getting to town, picking up dinner, recommendations and provided great conversation as well. We stayed in the private room with twin beds and it was very comfortable. The WIFI works great and is available in all of the common areas. The bathroom was very clean and well kept. The breakfast was delicious and the burger available to order was good too! The airport shuttle was a wonderful bonus as well. The location was great since it was close to the airport but it was also nice to be in a safe neighborhood where we could go for a run during the day.
