    The perfect guesthouse
    I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Beautiful apartments - spacious with every appliance you can think of. Wonderful hosts who attend to your every need (and their two gorgeous dogs who need regular petting ;-) Great eateries close by - I loved Conti Cafe. I felt…

    Hi Ben C Thank you for taking the time to write a review - and for your glowing recommendation. So happy you enjoyed staying with us and that you enjoyed the eateries in our neighbourhood. (btw - Dolci cafe, not Conti :)) Having lived in this area for over 30 years, i definitely agree with you about the friendliness in this neighbourhood typically. We always have at least 5 conversations with people in our neighbourhood park when we take our dogs for their daily walk. Look forward to your next visit :) Best from all of us at Amanzi Pam and the team

    Literally our home away from home!
    Amanzi is truly an amazing guest house and for us a real home away from home. The apartments are excellent, very well equipped and cleaned daily. Thabang and Deliwe’s freshly cooked breakfasts are legendary! Over the past year my husband has lived at Amanzi and we (the rest of…

    Dear Elvira (and family) How lovely it has been to be part of your translocation to Johannesburg. We have so enjoyed having your husband stay over the last year and meeting you and your family when you visited. You certainly felt like extended family, and we really hope that you will continue to visit us! Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review.

    The only place we stay in Johannesburg...
    ....cant say enough about the warmth and hospitality we consistently receive at Amanzi Guest House. We don't even look for accommodation options when we travel to South Africa anymore. Its the only place we choose to stay and would highly recommend!!!

    First vacation in South Africa
    An idyllic retreat in the northern suburbs of Jo'burg! My husband and I spent only a few nights at Amanzi before our safari in Botswana and Zambia. Our mistake was not staying LONGER!! The BEAUTIFUL setting, the fresh, lovingly presented breakfasts, our accommodations ( inviting…

    Dear Linda and Hal What a pleasure it was to meet you two, and so happy you enjoyed staying with us - thank you for kind compliments and sweet words. Hopefully there will be another time when you return to SA for another Safari. A Safari is a unique experience, and hope everything lived up to your dreams. Joburg is underestimated, and so many overseas guests wish they had stayed longer in this bustling vibrant city. Thank you again for taking the time to write a review - its so appreciated. Warm regards from all of us at Amanzi Pam and Rob

    My family (five adults) will arrive Johannesburg airport early morning hour (6:00 a.m.), Wednesday, October19 from U.S. Plan three or four night stay. Possible to have earlier than usual morning check-in? Thank you, Stephen Delahunt
    We arrived on the same flight from the U.S. Bear in mind by the time you go through customs, get your luggage, rental car and drive to Amanzi it could be 10.00am. Pam, the owner, was extremely accommodating and our room was available when we arrived. This of course depends on how fully booked they are. Never the less, I would recommend Amanzi ... please see my review from late last year. I cannot wait to go back!

    "There is a cottage in the garden but all rooms are equally impressive"
    "We had two rooms on the first floor - they were fantastic !"
    "Room 4 is very large and comfortable"
    "All rooms seem quiet and well equipped. Cottages give some extra space at little extra cost."
