My excellent first impression of this beautiful place matched my experience 100%. A lovely, clean, new and modern unit with everything that we needed. It is situated less than 5 minutes from Rosebank mall. Area felt really safe as there were security guards visible in the street as well as CAP security tactical unit vans driving in the area. Ian was very friendly and helpful as we arrived. He responded quickly to all questions that I had via WhatsApp. I will DEFINITELY stay there again in future. Highly recommended accommodation!

First of all a big thank you to Percy who runs the place. He made a big difference with his genuine smile and excellent recommendations. He really took care of us making us feel like home. The breakfast was great, the beds were as comfy as they can get, location is central, yet peaceful, nothing more to ask for.

The room was extraordinary—spacious, comfortable, with a nice bathroom and a tiny balcony. The staff was really helpful, and the common areas, like the dining room and living room, were bright, beautifully designed, and peaceful. If you want to rest like a queen, this is the perfect place!

Estelle was extremely helpful when we arrived with an issue with our luggage. The personal attention she showed and lengths she went to honestly saved the end of our trip from becoming a disaster! Breakfast was sensational! The best we had on our trip to South Africa and up there with the best of all time. The room was very clean and nice and quiet. Only wish we could have stayed longer.
