“Really Great Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 20, 2012

I was booked into Leighwood Lodge for a work trip. It was a great change from personality-free hotels. Sam and Henry were great and very helpful. The fresh coffee in your room a real bonus as well as the home made cookies. Would love to visit again.

“Another Excellent Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

My home away from home in Johannesburg, South Africa. It all starts with a friendly and warm reception from the staff. The rooms are wonderfully comfortable with a large bath, great light, and a balcony to walk out onto. I enjoy the easy walk to the nearby restaurants and the variety of eating options. This is my fourth stay this year and always comfortable and convenient.

“Making business in Joburg a delight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Truly a lovely stay. Located in a calm beautiful leafy suburb, it feels like a home away from home. Attentive service, yet not intrusive. Perfect stay for any business trip! Thanks for a beautiful week in Joburg! Hope to be back soon!

“Piece of paradise in Johannesburg”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 31, 2012 via mobile

The best guest house I have stayed in Johannesburg. The rooms are large with all the features you would expect. The minibar is well priced, nothing better than sitting in the garden, enjoying an African sunset. Very close to Rosebank and Sandton where the are plenty of choices for a meal, however your welcome to join the family for a home cooked meal, which is great.

I will be back.

“Luxurious "Bed & Breakfast"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 30, 2012

Luxurious "Bed & Breakfast" in quiet suburb of Johannesburg. Spacious room tastefully decorated with modern bathroom which had a tub and a shower. Very comfortable bed.

Excellent breakfast with fruit salad, cereals, bacon, sausage, eggs etc. - you fill in the order the evening before and state the time you want to have it!

Friendly owners and helpful staff. Definitely a wonderful place to stay!

Room Tip: Try to get a room which doesn't face the parking area, otherwise you might get disturbed by gues...
