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.

I recently stayed at Cotswold Gardens while on a business trip to Johannesburg and I couldn't have asked for better service. Janine and her team really are so welcoming. By far the nicest breakfasts that I've had while travelling. I highly recommend staying here, ample off-street parking, lovely environment, great location and by far the greatest thing about it, the... More

I loved my stay in Cotswold Gardens. Everything I could've wished for and more. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, and tasteful decor. Set in beautiful gardens, this is a peaceful and picturesque haven in the middle of a busy city. Janine and her husband went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, even to the extent of giving over the... More

I only needed a few nights to be near Parktown on business during my recent stay. I'm so glad my South African colleague arranged for us to stay at Cotswold Gardens instead of a 'box' hotel. We were able to enjoy a neighborhood setting with the most wonderful hosts. Strangely, I had a bout of hay fever when I arrived... More

Janine and her husband provided a lovely atmosphere and were very accommodating for me and my colleagues who stayed for a week. I can definitely recommend Cotswold Gardens as a place to retreat after a busy day in the centre of Johannesburg. It's like a little oasis of calm. Situation is great too as it's only a short drive to... More
