This property looked alot more attractive on the website but in reality was very disappointing. If all you need is a bed very close to the airport, then this option fits the bill. If you are looking for anything more, then look elsewhere. We arrived at about 7pm and the shuttle bus driver was very friendly. The staff at the... more

Look, if all you're looking for is a free shuttle to and from the airport and a basic but clean room in close proximity to Johannesburg airport then you probably won't go far wrong with this venue. The service is very basic and you should avoid eating here at all costs unless you are starving. The shuttle driver was reserved... more

We spent 2 nights at this hotel-- or shall we say dungeon-- one night on the way to our safari and one night after the safari. We all felt more dirty after our showers than before, plus we almost froze ourselves into icicles! There was one measly "wall heater" that didn't even WORK so even after adding 3 extra blankets... more

We thought we had found a comfortable, moderately priced B&B in Joburg that was near the airport. The Emerald Guest House sounded ideal. Unfortunately, our experience at this guest house was a disaster. Don’t be fooled by the website photos and description. Do not consider staying at the Emerald Guest House in S. Africa winter months. The rooms have no... more

We found Emerald Guest House via sa-venues.com. We chose the self-catering, 2 bedroom, sleeps 6 option for our family of 5 (three kids aged 7 to 8 years). Our rooms were definitely very dated and in need of sprucing up. We're not precious and do not mind staying in cheap digs - but this place was definitely not cheap (R1400... more

Three of us stayed overnight prior to flying out the next day. This was the cheapest accommodation we could find close to the airport (5 mins) and was worth every cent - helpful staff, comfortable and spacious unit with lounge and kitchen, free shuttle to and from airport (we took our rental car back the evening before flying out and... more

I stayed here twice for one night on each end of a trip to the Kruger area. It started with a rep from the guesthouse meeting us at the airport for the included transfer. The guesthouse is located in a suburb of Johannesburg called Kempton Park with close access both to JNB and the area's major highways. Reception was helpful... more

My partner and I arrived in Jo'burg late afternoon and stayed one night at the Emerald Guest House in Kempton Park. We were met at the airport by a driver and ten minutes later we arrived at a lovely guest house complex with many rooms, swimming pool, small bar and restaurant. Owner Nico and his wife were most friendly and... more

Si tratta di una buona soluzione se arrivate a Johannesburg dopo il tramonto per evitare pericolosi spostamenti notturni. La guesthouse... more
