In 2010, when the South African World Cup had just begun, I had had the pleasure of staying with John & Janet in their lovely Porcupine Ridge guesthouse. During my 2011/2012 South Africa trip, together with my German friend Kai, I returned. Both British, they are products of their culture, with humour, warmth and convention as their forte. Should distance... More

We stayed at this B&B for three nights, in september, and we had a wonderful holiday experience thanks to the friendly and helpful owners, Janet and John. The hosts are very friendly, relaxed and warm and really welcome you into their home and make you feel like one in the family at once! Janet and John are very helpful when... More

Porcupine Ridge is a lovely guest house in a fantastic setting. The rooms were sophisticated and facilities excellent. The best aspect though was the warm and friendly service from Janet and John who are extremely knowledgable about the local area and gave us lots of good tips from a place for dinner (Wild Fig restaurant in Sabie highly recommended) to...

Porcupine Ridge was our base for visiting the Panorama Route, towards the end of our three-week tour. Janet and John, the expat English owners, could not have made us more welcome and we felt immediately at home with them and their delightful Siamese cats and golden retrievers. The room, although small, was well-furnished and clean and the breakfasts were excellent,... More

The guest house is in an excellent position in a very beautiful part of the world, and the owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. But we were a little disappointed by the quality of fixtures and fittings – broken window catches, an extractor fan in the bathroom that did not work (despite askiing for it to be... More

Porcupine Ridge is a magnificent spot a few minutes out of the town of Sabie, and the house is pristine and the rooms comfortable and immaculate. The breakfasts were wonderful and the proprietors helpful. The dogs will even take you for a walk up the mountain!! I had no access to any sitting area besides my room, and was sorely... More

From the moment we arrived we knew we were in a great place, both location and accommodation. We were loving South Africa, had had a long day and were exhausted and looking forward to rest and comfort. We had a delightful stay. Janet's greeting, care and attention, swept away fatigue. The rooms are superb. We stayed in two, having planned... More

We stayed at the Porcupine Ridge Guest House after a family wedding near Pretoria. We were a party of nine family and friends. The proprietors Janet and John were very welcoming and they gave us very sound advice about the Kruger Park, nearby restaurants and other places of interest. The rooms were first class, comfortable beds with electric blankets. The... More

There was nine in our group and we were looked after by Janet and John, not just morning and evening but anytime during the day when we were there. Their house was our house and, with a 5 year old adventurous boy in our group, that was above and beyond what would normally be expected. The breakfasts were "any size"... More
