People will warn you off travelling to Johannesburg. Don't listen to them. If you have time, its work spending a long weekend or more here. Graton guest house is perfect for this. Its located in a comfortable and safe neighbourhood. The building is tidy, clean comfortable and secure. The hosts, Tony and Graham, were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble.... More

When traveling to Johannesburg on business , the Graton Guesthouse is by far my preferred place to overnight . A guest house can sometimes be tricky, after all you are staying in someone,s house, but Tony and Graham have found the perfect balance. The Graton is located in one of most accessible residential suburbs of Johannesburg, a few minutes away... More

Being that I traveled to Johannesburg as a tourist I was not looking for extravagant... Basic, clean, functional with good customer service rules the day. The Graton Guest House provided all the above. The guest house was situated in a location that was accessible to all the Jozi had to offer. I will certainly book my lodging with Tony and... More

RESERVATION : I booked my... More

I had a wonderful three day stay in February. The property is beautiful, comfortable, and Tony cooks a mean breakfast. The location is good, and you can walk to a commercial stretch with some nice restaurants (DO eat at the Schwarma place at least once.)

As much as possible, I will stick to the facts that people want to know when choosing a place to stay. Our room was: - pleasantly comfortable but very basic; a... More

This is the second time I have stayed at this guest house and I feel like Tony and Graham are family. Their house is very comfortable and Graham gives great tours an is sooooo knowledgeable about the area and things that are off the beaten path.

We have now stayed at Graton many times and will continue to do so. The house is extremely comfortable with a great atmosphere. Tony and Graham are charming and helpful and always so welcoming. It is situated in a quiet leafy street and has a lovely garden with an attractive pool and is just a few blocks from our relatives.... More

We stayed at the Graton for five nights in December 2012. We picked the Graton largely because it was located just a few blocks from relatives that we were visiting in the Orchards area. The grounds and house were both well kept and the room was perfect. Tony prepared breakfast each morning and even had us dining outside when the... More
