I was nervous about visiting Johannesburg but am happy to say we had a lovely, safe, refreshing and relaxing break. The accommodation at Amanzi was lovely, the cottage we stayed in was clean, spacious and cozy. Outdoor has lovely gardens, trees and pool which provided more relaxation opportunities. Our hosts Pam and Rob were so very welcoming and helpful. They assisted with tips of things to do, places to visit and more. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast each morning in the sunny dining room with beautiful garden views. Amanzi is a very close to walk to lovely cafes as well as the dog park, supermarket and other conveniences. Very handy to shopping centres, malls and lovely restaurants. We can't wait to visit Johannesburg and Amanzi again and see more that the city has to offer.

We have stayed here several times over the past four years and it has become our automatic choice when in Joburg. Clean, homely, comfortable accommodation and consistently prompt, friendly and personal attention from Pam the proprietor. Breakfast is fresh and cooked in your sight. Amanzi lies in a leafy suburb and the area is safe for daytime walks, with a couple of cafes (one offers a 10pc discount for guests) and a public park in close proximity. Sandton City is just a few minutes drive away. We are a bit picky when it comes to accommodation - but Amanzi has never disappointed us. Highly recommended.

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 safe in the area and everyone is very friendly. I’m looking forward to visiting again.

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

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 the family) visited a number of times. Pam and Rob are the most amazing hosts and they really feel like family. They will go all out to make sure everyone who is staying there is comfortable. We were sorry to leave them when we moved into our own house in Joburg.

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. Rob and I really appreciate your lovely comments, and Thabang and Deli are delighted to have their breakfasts described as legendary!
Warm regards from all of us
