How can we thank you for accepting the chaos of four teenagers and four adults (who still think they are teenagers) all trying to co-ordinate themselves to get to concerts on different days and shopping malls in-between - in a weekend. Thank you Delia for accepting the chaos. Wonderful B & B in a very quiet location.

As you know I loved having the real teenagers here - so refreshing and such lovely kids. The adult teenagers were also a great pleasure to have to stay and hopefully you will all be back for the next big show. Till next time - keep well and don't grow up !! Delia More

I always heave a sigh of relief when I enter my normal Blue Room as it's usually after a long International flight or busy day. I've been enjoying Rutland House since 2002: often for short stays (2-3 days) but also for longer periods of up to 3 months. It has become my "home away from home" when visiting Johannesburg and...

Thank you for your lovely review Andrew, most appreciated. I always enjoy our chats and laughs at the breakfast table, and I love hearing of your mining / travelling escapades and the unusual places you get to like Timbucktu and Siberia and I love seeing the photos on your return to Rutland House.

Delia makes the stay at Rutland House a wonderful experience. She greeted us upon arrival from the airport via Felling Tours and once we were settled in our room she suggested the Corner Café (CNR Café) down the street for dinner.

Delia is a wonderful host in her lovely property which makes such a cosy, comfortable home away from home. Lovely breakfast and a daily paper at hand. When coming and going (ie we went to Cape Town and came back again) we could leave a bag behind. Bliss! We loved being there and will most definately be back.

My husband and I spent two nights at this B & B enroute to various destinations in South Africa. A warmer welcome would be hard to find.

I arrived with my 2 grown daughters after a long flight from North America. Delia was fabulous. One of my daughter's suitcase had been ripped, and Delia made several phone calls to advocate for her, which resulted in her being given a brand new (and larger) suitcase for free.
