Tranquil, large 1 bedroom garden cottage, 12 mins from OR Tambo International with backup water

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The cottage is big, you'll find everything you need, the garden is beautiful, the dogs are really sweet (but if you don't like them, they can be locked on the other side and you won't even see them), and the location is perfect. The hosts were extremely kind and answered all my silly questions very quickly. The dinner was also delicious! You'll love it:)

Unglaublich herzliche und liebe Gastgeber. Wir hatten diese Unterkunft aufgrund der Nähe zum Flughafen gebucht und wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Hier übernachtet man wirklich nicht nur - man ist zu Gast bei sehr tollen Menschen.

Het was een heel leuke ervaring in dit verblijf.

We arrived late to Johannesburg and our next flight was early in the morning. This place was perfect. It’s very close to Johannesburg airport and the owners are very friendly. They prepared dinner for us for an extra cost.

L’hôte a été d’une grande aide, la maison est sécurisée. Le rapport qualité prix est imbattable. Très propre, je recommande ! Très proche de l’aéroport, parking safe pour la voiture

The host is very welcoming. Its a quiet space

Nothing

Excellent stay, highly recommended! My partner and I stayed in this accommodation, which is ideally located near Johannesburg Airport. The hosts are extremely welcoming, flexible, very responsive, and always available, which made our arrival and stay particularly pleasant. The apartment was perfectly clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Access to the swimming pool was a real highlight — a much-appreciated moment to cool off and relax after a long flight from France. We highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to South Africa one day.

The location is super cool if you stay between the floor after/before the flight.

All was good - dogs, host, apartments.

Muy confortable. Pen y Greg te atienden de la mejor manera. Incluso pueden buscarte y llevarte al aeropuerto y prepararte la cena.

El desayuno podría ser mejor

Großes Apartment mit viel Ausstattung. Schöner kleiner Garten. Kurze Distanz zum Flughafen. Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber.

De vriendelijkheid en de hulp van de hosts Pen en Greg. Wij verbleven tweemaal in de cottage, en de laatste nacht in de studio dat voor ons een prima tijdelijke oplossing was. Vervoer van/naar luchthaven is aanwezig. Beide accomodaties waren zeer schoon en goed ingericht. Internet prima.

Geen op- of -aanmerkingen

Хороший номер чтобы переночевать и продолжить путешествие. Чисто. Удобная кровать. Спасибо за завтрак.

Краны в ванной следовало бы заменить . Очень тяжело откручивать / закручивать. Есть отдельное замечание - Хозяева предлагают доп услуги, такие как трансфер или дополнительный ужин, не оглашая их цену, ставя в неудобное положение, озвучивая цену потом, когда ужин можно сказать готов. Было бы куда гостеприимнее давать прейскурант доп услуг с ценами, чтобы гости могли выбирать что им необходимо.

The location was great, close to the airport, the hosts are very friendly and helpful, the apartment is big and has everything you need

Good.

Booked the bigger room but it was double booked. So we were offered the studio. Served the purpose just for one night.

This is a great spot near the airport for a quick overnight stay. The hosts are REALLY lovely and very helpful with check-in information. I highly recommend staying here!

Unfortunately the wifi wasn't great. I couldn't seem to connect in the kitchen area but was able to connect in the bedroom. If I had planned to work it would have been a problem. I didn't bring it up with the hosts since my stay was so short so there may have been an easy solution, but if a strong connection is important I would check with the hosts before booking.

It was clean and spacious. Exactly like pictures

Breakfast was not nice at all. Kindly work on having a variety of food for your guests

Das Wohn/Esszimmer sowie das Schlafzimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet. Das Bett war gemütlich und wir haben gut geschlafen. Pen ist eine sehr nette und aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist top. Gerade durch die letzten beiden Punkte konnte ich jedoch die 9 vergeben, sonst wäre es eine 8 geworden.

Für uns war nur das Badezimmer der einzige Kritikpunkt: Auch für meine Frau hing die Duschbrause viel zu hoch. Wenn man beim duschen den Vorhang nutzte, klebte er schon an mir, da nicht so viel Platz war. Und der Vorhang selbst sollte auch mal erneuert werden, da er unangenehm roch.

Lovely people, a very personal touch !

Estava tot perfecte!! L’amabilitat dels propietaris. Gràcies ♥️

Loved loved loved this stay! Hosts were extremely kind and helpful. I felt welcomed from the time I made the booking to arrival and check out. Spacious kitchen and dining room with a nice table to sit at, bedroom was large and bed was comfortable. Hot chocolate and cappuccino was provided along with regular tea and coffee plus some risks. Under 15 minutes to the airport, what more do you want?? Highly recommend and will stay again.

The shower was the downer for me. The wall attachment for the shower head is so high that the water went right over my head so you have to hold it in your hand the whole time. It’s also a small space because of standing in the bath and needing a shower curtain. (But still a 10/10 stay for me.)

The hosts were very warm and welcoming. All I needed in the Johannesburg cold winter was provided. There was even a backup guess stove in case of load shedding. The place is very safe. The swimming pool would have come handy if the temperatures were a little warmer.

I enjoyed the calm, the neatness of the place, the promptiness of the hosts to serve, the amenities and all the care.

I had to travel and I couldn't enjoy it for long.

Felt super secure , the husband and wife both came out to greet me , they made sure I had an apple for the next day and some milk for my coffee and cornflakes . And it had a bath!! Great amount of towels , face cloths, hand towels and bath mat . Great drink selection for purchase and a lovely personalised instruction booklet The place is spotlessly clean

No heater in the room but there is a hot water bottle and the bed is really warm !! The bathroom could do with a nice renovation

This is a charming spot, incredibly accessible from OR Thambo airport, with wonderful hosts. I will definitely be returning whenever I have to overnight in Joburg and want somewhere peaceful and cosy to escape to.

Comfy apartment near airport , host very nice, comfy bed :)

Very nice place and hosts. I will stay again for sure.

A wonderful cottage. There was a bit of trouble when we arrived, but we truly appreciate your kind and helpful response. We could only stay for one night as it was the day of our departure, but it’s the kind of place we’d love to spend several days in. Your warm and lovely personalities were so comforting— thank you for everything.

We stayed in this apartment and could not be more satisfied. It is quiet, comfortable,very big,fully furnished and above all safe. The hosts were amazing, always friendly and willing to help. They even assisted us with a problem we had with the car, which shows their great hospitality. We took away very good memories, not only of the place, but also of them and their lovely doggies. We certainly hope to see them again in the future. We recommend this place 100%, thank you for an unforgettable experience!

It was very spacious.

Close to the airport Nice little corner Pool Grocery online shopping very convenient Nice and reliable owner

Even though my arrival date and time and all changed a lot last minute, nothing but helpful and understanding host. Everything you need and very close to Tambo Airport. Parking possible, luggage storage as well.

Super clean, super customer care, super environment, super security, everything was top notch

I regret having only booked for a short stay, I wish I had stayed there for a longer period. It is home away from home.

The host were extremely comforting and made my stay very easy. They organised a spontaneous Township tour for me and picked me up and dropped me from the airport. Even when I had to move my reservation because of flight cancellation they were very flexible. Perfect ! The cottage is super spadeful and has a calm garden

Wow what a find this accommodation turned out to be Lovely big airy,light clean apartment with all the facilities needed for a short or longer time stay The bed and linen excellent and very comfy Very close uber ride from tambo and in a quiet peaceful location The pool a real bonus for those hot and sunny joburg days😁 Our host’s Pen and Greg very friendly and helpful in any regard to your stay Highly recommended and as for value for money unbeaten in all our stays and there have been many in wonderful South Africa Also there is a cool little bar called Die Hoffkantoor within 5 minute walk.Food served is top notch

Nothing

Great hosts, who make it easy for you to have a great start in South Africa. They picked me up from the airport, cooked dinner, did my laundry (all for a reasonable price) and had helpful advice for my trip. The Appartement itself is super clean and spacious and has everything you need. Also the dogs are lovely.

The house was clean, closer to the airport and the neighbourhood is quiet.

There’s no fan or air-con. And no ironing equipment

Very Cosy, super spacious, great attention to detail, flexible, friendly, accomodating, pool, kitchen, Ouma Rusks, meals, very safe, quick cheap airport transfer,

Amazing place and amazing people! Had a perfect time, wish we could come back soon!

The hosts were beautiful human beings. Love their kindness.

everything was amazing!! really nice poeple and perfect flat !!

nothing

The place was very cozy. Pen was lovely and her communication was amazing.

Pen gave really clear instructions on how to access the property.

The cottage was stunning, and the dogs were our favourite part of the stay!

Nothing at all.

The cottage was specious and very clean. The reception was great. We had a very lovely stay. I would definitely recommend the place. The place was easy to find and close to the airport.

We loved the place! Super friendly people, easy communication, beautiful apartment with everything one could imagine!

The place was quiet, safe and very comfortable.

None.

Everything was great. Easy to find, great location, spacious e cosy place, with everything you need. Pen and her husband are great. Perfect.

Clean and big space, nice hosts, also adorable dogs.

I had a fantastic stay at the Garden Cottage! The location was great, the rooms were clean, and the shower was hot. There is a pool. A heater and a fan if you need it. It had all the amenities I needed. There is plenty of space and cupboard. the hosts were incredibly friendly, helpful, and super accommodating, always there when I needed them. I highly recommend this hotel!

Nothing I can think of.

Great place! Delicious food! Free Wi Fi!!! Everything was great!

The property was clean and cosy. Situated in a very good neighborhood. The hosts are super friendly, loved their hospitality.

Very friendly host, clean and cozy apartment. We got excellent food for dinner including a glass of wine. There were no guests after us, so we were allowed to stay until late afternoon. Thanks so much for your hospitality. We will come back!

Everything. It was clean, safe, good location, big.

When I was ready to go in the morning. The host had purposely blocked my car, as if she did not want me to run away. That was in a bad taste, no explanation was provided for that. There was ample space for the car to park elsewhere. I have so many questions about that. Other than that the place is good.

The hosts made sure that we were comfortable and well looked after.

The wifi was very sporadic. We use it when we travel, but it was off and on. Part of the problem could be that there was an international issue with the Internet during that time.

So long answer: 1.The hosts Greg and Pen were amazing- nothing was too much for them to do- I now count them as my special friends. 2.The Location-Having lived in Johannesburg before I saw the area as 'low rent", sorry a bit snobby. but my surprise was the nice surroundings and people, black and white, so friendly. So, thank you Solly's supermarket amongst others. 3.Special mention to my "Fan Club" at the property the affectionate dogs and cat-wow! when you are missing your family and have 24 love that is a bonus. Would I strongly recommend this property the answer is yes.

The property was built in 1975 and the extension built later so the shower is old school but having been born built in farmhouse in in 1905 this was not big issue.

The size of the cottage was perfect, with a bedroom, and separate open plan kitchen/dining and lounge. Wifi was excellent. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. The cottage felt more like a home rather than rental property. There were a pair of very friendly dogs running around the garden, and an occasional cat inspection which we loved!

Rubbish could have been collected, and towels replaced more often - a minor point as we could have asked and am sure that this would have happened.

Greg and Pen were very welcoming and a delight to talk to, both before our arrival and during our stay! Their Cottage is very cute, spacious, and fully furnished! On our first night's arrival, Pen cooked us a traditional South African dinner. A home cooked meal after our 14 hour flight from the United States was a real treat! She also cooked us breakfast when we desired. Breakfasts and dinners are an option, but a very welcomed option. The neighborhood feels completely safe to take short walks.

We were hoping Johannesburg would have a good public transportation system, however, this is not the case. The best way to get around the city is either through Uber or Bolt. We recommend you download both apps on your phone before you leave home because once you get here, both apps require SMS texts to verify your identity. As we cannot receive SMS texts in South Africa, we could not download the Bolt app. It's good to have two driver apps available to you, in case you have issues with either one.

Cottage on Kei was a great find. It had more than we expected. The apartment is spotlessly clean and spacious. Carpeted bedroom with huge wardrobe space, private bathroom, swimming pool, garden, wi-fi, lounge and beautiful kitchen equipped with everything. The hosts are friendly and very helpful. Excellent value for money and I recommend without hesitation.

I like the peacefulness and location of this stay a lot. The room is big with a kitchen and sitting area outside. The host is kind and helpful. The location is perfect. Close to the airport, malls and groceries. And it's located in a quiet and safe neighborhood despite the convenience. I felt safe and relaxed here. Recommend for short stop at JNB
