Guesthouse vacation rentals in Houghton Estate

Have stayed here at ArtSpace before, and just like the last time, the place was absolutely perfect. It is clean, spacious, organized, functional and free of clutter. There is a patio outside where one can sit down and relax - read a book, or work on the computer. The WiFi connection is strong and reliable. There is solar power so no load shedding anxiety. Hot water is available and plentiful, and the pressure is strong. The area is safe and secure, and not only is there off street parking, you actually get to park in the garage. The garden is amazing, and you can lounge here or at the gazebo, or by the pool. Most of all the place is beautifully dotted by contemporary art that mesmerize. The place is near all the services and facilities you will need - malls, shops, restaurants, service stations, hospitals and clinics - making it a very convenient base for those special errands. This is the home you always have a reason to come back to. And the host, Teresa, is just wonderful.

I came with my 3 kids and hubby from CT. This was very peaceful and relaxing. I love clean bed..white linen and comfort. My kids could also play in the garden for hours. We spend lots of time on the patio even at night. In between we could also focus and do some work. The kitchen was very clean. The host was amazing and helped us with anythig we needed. It felt like home. Thank you so much.

Great place, looking forward to returning. Thanks!

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.

I had a comfortable stay at Louise's property. The place was sparkling clean and you get to have your own space. The host is very responsive at all times and she allowed me to check out at any time since it was a public holiday that day, I appreciated that gesture as I was not in too much of a hurry to leave the place. She also offered to have my laundry done since I was there for a couple of days, I unfortunately saw the message on the last day of my stay but luckily I didn't need any clothes to be washed. Thank you Louise for being an amazing host. I got to enjoy a walk around the area as well, it is very peaceful and secure.

Return visitor — consistently comfortable, stylish, and friendly place to stay. Private and peaceful, but very centrally located to explore JHB.

It is a hidden gem—an Airbnb that felt like a proper escape in the heart of the city. The separated barn-like unit was a spacious retreat adorned with a private garden, perfect for moments of tranquility. What made this stay truly special, however, was Kim, the host. Her warmth and attentiveness transformed a simple visit into a memorable experience, as she catered to every need with genuine care. For anyone seeking a blend of comfort and charm, I wholeheartedly recommend this enchanting haven. A perfect sanctuary awaits, where the city’s hustle fades away, leaving only peace and beauty in its place. Damir

We had a great family stay at Talia and Schalk's and would love to stay again. Among the many highlights are: beautiful large property with gardens, nearby park, backup power, great linens, affordable help available for occasional cleaning, and above all super friendly hosts. We also appreciated: high chair and baby bed were available, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements, the house and street are quiet and private, and it was easy to get to nearby shopping, restaurants etc. Thanks for having us!

This was my second stay here. Such a nice place, great location, convenient. Really good!

Had an amazing time at their place! They took us on a tour of the property as well. The property is peaceful and nurturing. Chris and his wife June are very welcoming! Will definitely book again! 5 stars.

This is a lovely place! The home as well as the beautiful property were well worth the price we paid. We loved the place and will definitely stay here again.

I booked Nicole's place for my mother. Communication was smooth, everything was clean and my mother felt safe to explore the neighborhood by herself during the day. Would book this place again.

This was my second visit to Lesley's place. Its such a lovely, peaceful and secure place. Lesley is such a cheerful person, very helpful and responsive host. Thank you once again Lesley. Will definitely be back again and again 😊.

Mike and Mags are wonderful hosts. The Franklyn Guesthouse is cosy and clean. I enjoyed staying there.

Very nice place beautiful and organized. The only thing is lack of electricity was a bit inconvenient

I had the pleasure of staying at Caryn’s place for two weeks. Everything was as described, the place was spotless thanks to the lovely lady Vicky. It’s close to shops and restaurants. The garden was nice and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place. Hope to stay there again.

I had a lovely stay at Lavender Cottage. Perrine’s place is lovely and comfortable, located in a beautiful garden and she is such an attentive hostess she instantly made me feel right at home.

Lovely place .Thank you for the amazing stay

Ohh Melinda! What a great time we had. It felt like home away from home and Melinda and Ignitious were so welcoming. We laughed a lot with them and really made us feel comfortable. I was soo happy they were okay a late check out and the house was just warm and full of love,definitely going back on my next trip! Thank you Melinda!!!!!

This was an amazing stay! 😊 Keitu & her team were wonderful hosts! The place is clean, secure and close to all the Sandton hotspots! I’m going to miss them dearly! ❤️

Lesley was very flexible and provided everything we asked for without hesitation. She made our stay comfortable. The bed and sofa were very very comfortable, there were a lot of extra blankets. The view is very beautiful and everything was very clean. It was quiet and pleasant. This place is like a home, we didn’t feel that there was something missing. Lesley also provided a lof of choices for coffee which is very appreciable. Everything was very organized and we found a lot of towels. I highly recommend her place, the only thing is to confirm the right address with the host before coming as Airbnb mentioned an other address nearby. Thank you Lesley for everything! Best cottage ever:)

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was very cosy and comfortable and suited our family well. Nicole was very accommodating and Thando was a superstar. Thanks guys

The Short stay here made me feel very at home and although i left halfway for other things，i would definitely choose this place Again if i needed to return to Johannesburg😄

If it was possible to rate 100 I would, this has been by far the most relaxing and clean Airbnb I used for working. It was a perfect spot, closer to all beautiful shopping malls. I was able to do all my errands around Johannesburg. The cleaner Thobi was the sweetest esp when I was not feeling well. I am surely coming back here for my month or 2 months off. Thank you Larissa, you were amazing. Wishing you all the best and blessings.
