Breakfast was divine - yogurt, eggs and bacon to order, fresh fruit, coffee and tea. The room was quiet and comfortable. The best part was the hospitality of the hosts. Loved my stay here.

Company info

I love meeting new people both local and international. As a proud South African, I am always ready with a list of great recommendation for sightseeing, experiences and restaurants. I would describe myself as friendly, outgoing, and ready to make my guests feel welcome. I am a passionate Joburger; I love the city I live in, for me Johannesburg is an exciting city, it is a melting pot of cultures form all over Africa and the world. We have a food culture that encompasses Africa and the world, from Ethiopian street food to fine dining, French, Portuguese, German, Greek, Italian, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Township Taverns to mention but a few. We are culturally blessed with art galleries, museums, craft markets, music, and the best jazz club on the continent The Orbit in Braamfontein. You can tour Soweto on a bicycle, do a walking tour of historic Johannesburg. There is always so much to do. If you wold like to venture 2 hours out of Johannesburg for the day you can visit, Sun City Resort and the Pilandesberg National Park, where you are sure to see wild life.
