“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013 via mobile

Excellent b&b, I would reccomend it to anybody who is in johannesburg, very spacious rooms, and an atmoshpere that makes you feel at home.

The service is great, and it is located securely. It is also in close proximity to a very nice shopping mall.

I will definitely stay there again when I need a place in Johannesburg.

“Cotswold Gardens”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

Provided a practical and convenient venue for accomodation while on business in Johannesburg for 3 days. What worked the most for me was the dedicated study area, adjoining the bedroom and large bathroom and comfortable room. Very decent breakfast and hospitable hosts. I would have preferred a bar fridge in the room to keep my own refreshments chilled.

Room Tip: Room No2 has the dedicated study area. Bath and shower although the shower is not very practical for...

Dear Matthew
Thank you so much for doing a review on CG. Regarding the Bar Fridge, there is one in the cupboard on the right hand-side of the desk/working space area. All our rooms have bar fridges for the guests convenience. What a pity, I could have corrected this for you at the beginning of your stay. Hope to see you again when you are in this part of Johannesburg.

“great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

I can recommend this guest house wholeheartedly, in fact is is more than a guesthouse with the hosts so helpful and their beautiful place full of impressive artworks.

There are delightful touches like the home-baked biscuits and freshly baked croissants for breakfast.
The area is safe and if you are lucky enough to go at Jacaranda time you will be in for a treat.

“Cotswold Gardens”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

Sadly we were only able to spend one night at this delightful guest house. Janine and Mike were perfect hosts - warm, friendly and extremely helpful. We would have loved to stay on for a few days to enjoy the beautiful gardens and the comfortable accommodation - next visit to South Africa will most definitely include a longer stay here

Room Tip: All rooms are quiet with a leafy outlook

“Wonderful Jozi Retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 19, 2012

A wonderful guest house. Janine and the team were very attentive but not intrusive. The guest house has lovely gardens and a pool - the perfect retreat to relax in after a day in the vibrant and busy city. Traveling as a solo female, I felt safe and secure and well looked after the whole time. Highly recommended. Great value for money.

Room Tip: The room I stayed in had its own entrance separate from the main guest house so that I could come an...
