Amberhall Guesthouse

Great Breakfast!

Everything was perfect!

Lovely quiet location in a generally noisy Randburg.

We selected the "Standard Cottage" for our 1-night stay. Big mistake. At a guess this accommodation was formerly the original servant's quarters and it shows. I'm sure the rooms in the main house are as good as they look in the photos, but those in the cottage are far too small, somewhat dingy, and provided hardly sufficient room for our luggage and ourselves.

Healthy breakfast 😋

The room, and environment

Nothing really

The property is clean modern and safe

The entrance round could be at-least paved or smoothed out

Clean, quite and intimate and friendly staff always checking up on you.

My stay at Amberhall was awesome: super cozy vibe and really friendly staff. The room was clean, comfy, and had everything I needed. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a chill and quality stay. The breakfast was amazing — made fresh on the spot and super tasty. Special attention from the manager Bettina, who the night before our departure kindly prepared breakfast for us to take along, since our flight was very early.

Very quaint and beautiful aesthetic.

Noise from other guests arriving early hours of the morning.

It was very beautiful inside, very high quality finishing and the garden was stunning and I loved the real grass and outside area

I would have loved more options for breakfast ...

Feel safe and home from home

They offered very delicious breakfast...... oh and those freshly made jam tarts were divine 😍 The rooms were neat, warm and quite spacious The bedding was fresh and very soft. Im a sucker for white clean and luxious linen, so was very happy. Unfortunately I couldn't use their beautiful library because my room was waaaay to comfortable. From the manicured gardens, outdoor braai area, swimming area ... the outdoors were just as marvelous as the interior. Thank you!

Hmmmm, let me think..... absolutely nothing

The staff was great and very helpful

Really liked the property

Beautiful property, big room and bathroom. Very clean and lovely furnishing and amenities in the room

The water was not very hot in the evenings as the property uses solar panels.

Absolutely loved my stay at Amber Hall Guesthouse in Johannesburg. The service was exceptional from start to finish, with such warm and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home. The rooms are beautifully done, and the bed and linen were incredibly comfortable — I slept like a dream! A truly relaxing and memorable stay. Highly recommend.

Die Gartenanlage ist sehr schön

Ein Hinweis: Das Hotel hat angeblich 4 Sterne und auf dem Nachttisch liegt ein Zettel, auf dem darauf hingewiesen wird, dass man eine 10-Punkte Bewertung anstrebt. Ich glaube nicht, dass der Besitzer sich bewusst ist, was es dafür braucht. Schon die Naturstrasse, die von der Einfahrt zum Haus führt ist von holprigen Löchern übersäht. Eigentlich bräuchte man hier einen 4WD. Wir wurden nicht vorgewarnt. Hier Pflastersteine zu verlegen wäre kein Luxus. Der Empfang war freundlich. Ansonsten hat die Rezeptionistin sich aber nicht gekümmert. Es fehlt ein wirklicher Gastgeber. Bei einem so kleinen Hotel erwarte ich das. Der versprochene Moskitostecker wurde auch prompt vergessen. Wir erhielten 4 Schlüssel an einem Bund. Das war nicht einmal ein schöner Anhänger dran. Kein einziger der Schlüssel war gekennzeichnet. Sie sahen aber alle sehr ähnlich auf. Einer war für die Eingangstüre zum Gebäude, ein anderer für das Zimmer, ein weiterer für die Terrassentüre und ein weiterer für die Jalusie. Eine Kennzeichnung der einzelnen Schlüssel wäre kostengünstig machbar und hätte ums bei der Heimkehr jeweils viel Zeit gespart. Zerrissene Handtücher, die so wie mir schien während der 4 Tage nicht ersetzt wurden. Keine Konsistenz bei dem Herrichten der Zimmer (einmal liegt das Pijama irgendwo, einmal auf dem Bett, einmal unter dem Kissen). Das Duvet war dünn und die kleine Zusatzdecke war aus billiger Kunstfaser und hat bei den tiefen Temperaturen nicht wirklich geholfen. Ich hatte meinen Kaschmirschal dabei. Der hat mich gerettet. Nicht genügened Ablageflächen im Zimmer, keine Haken an der Wand, damit man die Jacken aufhängen konnte. Das Badezimmer hatte praktisch keine Ablageflächen und auch hier gab es keine Haken, um die Tücher und Badesachen aufzuhängen. Jeden Morgen immer das gleiche frische Joghurt mit Früchten. Warme Speisen konnten bestellt werden, die dann kalt serviert wurden. Einmal war der Speck so hart, dass ich ihn nicht essen konnte. Toast, Buffet... nada

Convenient for where I wanted to be

The cottages not quite up to the standard of the rooms.

Beautiful setting in a lush garden. Felt more like a mini retreat. Amazing bed and linen. Incredible host, so helpful.

Excellent. I cannot fault anything. I will always book here when I am in Jhb

Garden is spectacular

The overall experience was awesome. one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in. I met the owner, and he was as friendly as his staff. I actually wished I could stay a few more days just to relax. Love the idea of Trust Bar, wonderful to see we can still have places like that.

The breakfast is the only thing of my whole experience that I would say was a bit of a letdown. The first morning my food was cold and DRY. I left most of it. The rest was not wonderful, but good.

It feels like your in the country side and not in a big city

Requested they cater dinner, was absolutely fantastic! Their chef is a gem!

Tercia is such a wonderful host.

Nice rooms and pretty grounds.

All.ok

Nothing i can think of

Wir waren begeistert von diesem wunderschönen B&B mit riesigem, gepflegten Garten, Pool, Teich mit Vögeln - am Rande der Großstadt Johannesburg. Wir hatten den Standardroom gebucht, ebenerdig. Sitzmöglichkeiten hatten wir außen auch direkt vor unserer Tür. Zimmer und Bad waren tiptop sauber. (Achtung: Vom Zimmer zum Bad/WC gibt es KEINE Tür!). Alles gepflegt und funktionstüchtig. Das Personal war super lieb. Am folgenden Morgen wurde uns ein tolles Frühstück gezaubert, welches wir aus einer Menükarte auswählen konnten. Parken kann man nahe des Hauses, für die Einfahrt erhält man einen Code bzw. Schlüssel. Für Start oder Ende einer Reise ein idealer Ort zum Relaxen - hier kann man allerdings auch längere Zeit sehr gut verbringen.

Gorgeous gardens. Bettina, the house manager, is professional and went all out to accommodate our every need. That personal touch was everything!

It’s a guesthouse. When it’s morning time, you will be woken up by the sounds of the staff working in the kitchen.

Location great for where I had to go (Respiration SA) Good breakfast.

The bed and pillows, so soft and comfortable. Exactly what I need for rest

Alles TOP!

Loved the garden, the room temperature, the great smell, the quiet, very peaceful. All very comforting to the senses. Staff was friendly and I liked the freedom in the house, made it feel like it was my own home.

The only thing that i was confused about is that i think we got the wrong type of room. From booking online, I'm pretty sure it was suppose to be an upstairs room with a balcony, but i got a room that was downstairs and looked very different to what i booked. Nevertheless it was a great experience!

Tolles Zimmer, sauber, gute Lage, schöner Garten, sehr freundliches Personal, feines Frühstück

Sauber, schönes Zimmer, tolle Lage, einfacher Check-in, sehr freundliches Personal, super gutes Frühstück, toller Garten

The setting and grounds are beautiful! Lovely lounge area by reception where you can meet people for a drink. Eating area opens up to a patio overlooking the garden and plunge pool. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to use the pool but it looked very inviting. Bed and linens were LOVELY! Slept very well! Shower had good pressure and my apartment was well equipped: sink, fridge, microwave, TV and sofa. Really enjoyed the breakfast on offer and the versatility to change a few things. The steak dinner was cooked to my liking and the food and dessert were very good! If you want a secluded getaway for the weekend - this is your place!

Nothing not to like. I was not aware of how far it was from Fourways but other than that, all was good! You may want to consider also offering sparkling wine to your selection.

Hospitality and the beautiful gardens and guesthouse. I loved the comfort of the bed and pillows, the honesty bar and the amazing meals we had there.

I stayed at a room near the hall gate and so was woken up a few times for early/late arrivals as well as when the morning kitchen team arrived to work.

Lovely room. The guesthouse is located on a beautiful and huge property with a lovely garden. It is very private and hard to believe that it is situated amongst so many complexes, but you don't see them at all. very private.

The wi-fi was very slow, and I could not let the TV work... The aircon was dripping water on the bed, but the staff tried their best to sort it out and offered to move me to another room. It was however a cool and rainy night so I did not need the air con.

After a hectic 15 day trip of conferences, hotels, meetings, the Amberhall is a perfect place before a 17 hour plane back home.

The bed wasn’t as comfortable as I needed it to be. The middle was stiffer than the sides.

Great location! In the City but feel like you are in the country.

Beautiful place to stay, everything you need. Delicious food.

We liked everything and will be back.

The apartment was just like the pics, and more. The meals! Supper and breakfast was wonderful. Chef's kiss. Fresh, looked like restaurants meals, served by the in-house chef. The area was clean, quiet, host was very friendly and pleasant. The views were fantastic! Didn't get a chance to go past their pool area, but wow! I was impressed by the whole site.

Nothing. Before I got here, I was a little.bit worried that the apartment lounge/kitchen area didnt have blinds/curtains. On arrival,.I saw, rest assured, there were blinds. So I absolutely liked everything.

Lovely setting and peaceful.

All good.

Bedroom comfort

Being on the ground floor but that is a personal preference.

Beautiful gardens, very friendly staff and just an overall very welcoming and helpful team. Spacious rooms and large comfortable beds. Safe, quiet location set into the heart of the property away from the entrance road. Child friendly and love the family heritage of Amberhall. I highly recommend.

Wir waren von dem wunderschönen angelegten Garten total begeistert. Am Morgen einen Kaffee im Grünen genießen war einfach nur Erholung pur. Das Team war so unfassbar herzlich und lieb, die Köchin hat so ein sensationelles Essen gezaubert. Also wir würden das nächste Mal gerne länger bleiben.

Nichts ☺️

We had an amazing stay! Everything was perfect! We will be back!

Wish there was more choice @ breakfast, and not just a set menu,

I booked this at the last minute and only for one night. What a delightful property. The staff were lovely and the breakfast delicious. I would definitely stay here again--and hopefully enjoy a longer stay

Die Europcar Autovermietung hat mein Leihauto mit einem Navi ausgestattet, das nichts taugt. Es hat das Hotel weder mit Eingabe des Namens noch mit Eingabe der Straße gefunden. Ein Anruf beim Hotel und Mrs Elisabeth hat mich abgeholt. Die nächsten zwei Tage hat mein Navi zum Hotel zurück gefunden. Aber siehe da, am vierten Tag hat mich das Navi abermals in die Irre geführt, ca 3 Stunden lang. Letzter Rettungsanker, ein Anruf im Hotel. War ich bei der ersten Irrfahrt ca 2 km vom Hotel entfernt, so waren es jetzt ca 15 km. Mrs Elisabeth hat nicht gezögert und ist um ca 19:30 Uhr ausgerückt um mich abermals zu retten. Die Köchin, Mrs Teesha hat mich täglich mit einem wunderbaren Nachtmahl verwöhnt, sodass sich meine Nerven beruhigt haben. Das ist Kunden Service auf höchstem Niveau!!! Die rettenden Engel des Amberhall Guesthouse, sie mögen leben hoch hoch hoch 😍👍👍 Hermann Österreich

Excellent. The attention to detail was what impressed me the most, every little thing is well thought out to make your stay great. It was peaceful, clean, friendly staff, my husband chose an exceptional place to celebrate my birthday.

Nothing.

Lovely setting. Great staff.

Dogs barking.

Stayed in the Cottage which was spacious and private with own dedicated wifi, all amenities and a boma/braai area at the back.

Very nice and clean

Safe and good looking

The place was very homey, comfortable and clean.
