Family-friendly vacation rentals in Houghton Estate

A great location, the building is directly connected to the shopping center surrounding Mandela Square. A very safe location. Plenty of shops and restuarants nearby. The room was very spacious and worth the price. The touristy hop-on, hop-off Red Bus picks up you up just around the corner from this building.

Simon's place was all we needed, lovely and secure apartment within the vibey Rosebank area. Very convenient with lots to do within a short walk. Simon was a very responsive host as well, I would recommend this stay to anyone looking for a hustle free stay.

Easy check in, great location for business meetings, clean and spacious property… would book again

This was our first time in Johannesburg and Anita helped it to be very special. She was a great hostess. Anytime we needed anything she had no problem assisting us. She gave us information about sightseeing in the area, restaurants, great farmer's markets and much more. My sister was visiting from Rome, Italy and Anita speaks Italian, so that was a special surprise for my sister. Anita also has a basketball hoop, which my 10 year old granddaughter loved, she also gave her games and drawing supplies. My granddaughter had a great time. We highly recommend Anita's beautiful cottage and great hospitality, and would surely book it again.

The place was exactly how the host described it. To top it all the bar and restaurant on the ground floor had some great menus and drinks

Stewart met us upon our arrival and went out of his way to make us feel right at home. We were left to enjoy the privacy and peacefulness of the beautiful quaint cottage and the animals that lived on the premises. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed for our 2 day stay in Johannesburg, with the location also perfect as everything we needed was within a 10 minute drive. We will definitely return!

Jonathan is a great host. It is a beautiful house and very special with a beautiful view. We enjoyed our stay a lot. Very good accommodation for families with kids. Already planning our next trip!

I stayed here for a month. The location is great, the rooms are beautiful, spacious and clean. The cleaning staff comes daily and they do a good job. Peter is very friendly and helpful. I had a good time and will come again when I visit south africa.

We enjoyed the time and stay as we were a large group. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The area was quiet and we felt safe. Some of the bathrooms could do with some tlc. Nathalie and her team and great hosts

We felt right at home during our stay - the space was warm, beautifully set up, and had everything we needed, including more than enough blankets to keep us cozy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything so seamless from start to finish. Thank you for such a lovely experience - we’d definitely love to return!

browse through the comments to find my last comments in March this year, all I can do is repeat the Glowing review.. you won't find an Airbnb of this caliber, quality, price and the most outstanding sincere service... don't believe me??? book it and you'll be treated..thank you Elizabeth. I'll be back soon, that is, if you have availability based on the fabulous reviews you get. you'll be booked up...

What can I say?! An incredible spot to spend a few peaceful days in the city. it felt like a home away from home the second we walked through the door. Our hosts were fantastic and made us and our pups feel welcome the entire time we were there. The pool was a delight, and the view over Sandton was glorious. I can't recommend Alex & Gideon, or their cottage, highly enough.

It's a very nice safe and peacful place. The owners are very kind and enthusiastic.

A beautiful home and cemtrally located. Ian was extremely responsive and curated an amazing space for us.

Wonderful short stay at Ingrids place. Pristine accomodation in beautiful suburb with easy access to transport/e hailing services. Host is super friendly and attended to all my needs.

Very nice garden and helpful attendant Frank.

If you ever visit Joburg and would like to feel right at home, I'd highly recommend staying at Charl's place. His home is exactly as described in the photos listed and it is very safe, peaceful and comfortable. I felt right at home and cooked breakfast in his kitchen everyday during my stay before I started my day. He also has two adorable dogs who are so sweet and friendly are are happy to keep you company. All in all, a great place to stay on your visit to Joburg.

The host and caretaker are so friendly and accommodating. The place is the most convenient location, especially for a kosher stay. the entire experience was truly amazing and wonderful. I would for sure stay there again if I come back to job.

My stay was lovely. I wish I didn't have to leave. It's spacious, it's cosy, it's clean and it's beautiful. It honestly does feel like a way away from home. And Marie? An absolute sweetheart. I will definitely be returning.

I had a wonderful stay at Tia and Mandy’s place. Both hosts were always very responsive and immediately took action if anything required it (which there was very little need for). The location of this studio apartment is also perfect for someone that needs to be close to amenities like a pharmacy, great restaurants and grocery stores. I had friendly neighbors and the security at the complex is top notch. Please note that the washing machine is not in the unit but within a laundry room in the complex. I wont hesitate to recommend this little gem to anyone needing a weekend away or a short stay with all the comforts of home.

Charming neighborhood/place and helpful host.

Great place, it was inviting and quite homely. The garden is plush and everything just works perfectly. Thank you to Ben and Co for a good stay. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had a fab time.

Great everything. Place is elegant, felt right at home. Host is greatly amazing, friendly and very helpful. Im looking forward to visiting again.

It’s always a pleasure to stay here. Lila is a wonderful host. The accommodation is spotless and convenient.
