We really enjoyed our stay at this B&B. We were in the Coral Room and it was amazing - very, very well ktited out and spacious. It truly felt like 'home away from home'. There were cooking facilities in this room and there was just so much information available to us in the folder in the room - including maps... more

Traveling alone with my 20 year old daughter first time to Africa’s Jo'burg for the first time was expected to be a bid challenging. Staying with Liz was like staying with Family. She and her staff fulfilled every need we may have to make our stay in Jo'burg comfortable. Liz's services make us comfortable to travel within the city, and... more

As final stop during my holidays in SA, we decided to stay at Liz's in johannesburg. I think it was one of the best decisions made for our planning. From first instant we stepped out of our car we were received by a warmth smile from Zac and Liz. Our room (Ochre room) was so cozy and impecable, big bed... more

We did have issues with the shower but we rectified that ourselves... The staff -catherine and zac - are terriffic... The only downside to... more

LizatLancaster, Owner

As the owner of Liz at Lancaster it is obviously uncomfortable for me to ‘own up’ to the one who was ‘prickly and hard to deal with’. Firstly a thank you to Kingrox for taking the time to write a review on Tripadvisor. This is always appreciated. And yes it is a fair review, I was prickly and distant in...

Liz at Lancaster is truly a haven in the city, in the garden suburbs abutting upmarket Rosebank and Hydepark. The accommodation is spacious, inviting and restful. I stayed in the Earth room where I enjoyed the lovely morning sun streaming into my room, the sounds of the birds (difficult to believe one is in the heart of a big City),... more

This guesthouse provides luxury beyond expectation for guesthouses. The rooms have all the facilities of a 5-star hotel. And yet Liz and her staff give such a personal service I felt that I was a guest in her home. Added to this the gardens are superb and peaceful. A real treat as I had tried often to get a booking.... more

I have stayed at Liz at Lancaster twice - for extended stays - and am so impressed that I will return each and every time I visit Johannesburg (annually). Liz, Zac, and the rest of the staff have created a unique and inviting space that is ideal for work, vacation, relaxation - or all of those things combined. The B&B... more

Liz at Lancaster - well done!! . I've stayed in dozens of guesthouses in South Africa, and none comes close to Liz's BnB. Your every whim is catered for. Its spacious, tasteful, comfortable and comes with such attention to detail!! And its so well priced for what you are getting too. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a BnB... more

The accommodation is spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious, with so many thoughtful touches that make the stay more than home from home. I've been going back again and again. Nothing is too much trouble for Liz and her team and I love being able to dip into the books in Liz's library to learn more about the history and culture... more

We have stayed at Liz's B & B for the last two years and we would not consider staying anywhere else when visiting Johannesburg. Liz has perfected the B & B concept. Her attention to detail in the bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms and full equipped kitchenettes made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. A gorgeous breakfast is served... more
