Huge 7 bedroom House & Cottage in Johannesburg
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

Luxury 5-Bedroom Home in Kyalami + Back-Up Power
The property was simply amazing. The rooms were big each with lovely ensuite bathrooms. It has a well appointed kitchen and a large dining room table that would sit 10 people very comfortably. An added bonus is the dining room table converts to a pool table. The area is extremely quiet away from the hussle and bustle of Johannesburg and superbly situated to get to the various golf courses we were playing as well as some great restaurants. It has all the facilities for entertaining outside including a swimming pool which would be amazing in the summer months, as well as a large garden. The house is kept spotless by housekeeping who came in every day (except Sunday) to clean and make up the rooms. Finally, I cannot say enough about our host Charmaine. Very friendly and responsive throughout the whole process. Thank you Charmaine, you were brilliant and we all thank you for letting us feel so at home!

Luxury home in the heart of Parkhurst
A lovely, large and well equipped house with garden and pool within walking distance of Parkhurst restaurants and shops. A great place to stay if visiting Joburg - felt very comfortable. Hannah was very professional and friendly and we felt very at home.

Beautiful 5 bedroom boutique guest house
Exactly as pictured and more!! What a treat, tucked away and surrounded by beautiful greenery all around the property. It is decorated with stunning pieces but still feels like home away from home. My visit was short but I will be back. Tash and the housekeeper Shayla were so sweet and helpful through the entirely of our stay.

Riverclub, tranquil and spacious centrally located
We had a lovely stay at Chad's fascinating property. The spacious home was clean and had every amenity we needed plus more. The stay was perfect for our 2 families with children. The pool table, table tennis and the animals kept the kids occupied for hours. highly recommended

Luxurious Hideaway Villa (4 King Beds)
We had a wonderful stay at this unique home in Kyalami. The place felt like a private lodge, with quirky decor that added so much charm and character. We especially loved spotting the deer and tortoises roaming around—it gave the whole experience a peaceful, nature-filled vibe. The garden, pool, and outdoor area were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning African sunsets. The 4-bedroom house was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped for a group. Gary, the host, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tranquil, one-of-a-kind getaway close to nature.

5 @ The Village
Outstanding house. Great location, very quiet, and great amenities. Loved the fast wifi, smart TV, and well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable, with great bedding. It was easy to get in and out of the house as we had lots of business to attend to -- would love to stay again.

OASIS: Enchanting home with magical garden
I had a lovely stay at Lauren's home. As other reviewers have noted, it is such a peaceful, warm place in the middle of the city, with easy uber/car access to everything that you need (I rarely waited more than 2-3 minutes for an uber). The garden area is so peaceful, the home is very well equipped, and Lauren is very responsive and helpful.

...On the Koppies
One of the nicest places we have stayed in. Tessa is a great host

Blessed House Luxury into Nature in Sandton
This place was absolutely perfect; clean, stylish, and very comfortable. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed, yet quiet enough for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing helpful tips and making check-in seamless. We felt right at home the entire time. I’d highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-kept, and welcoming place to stay. Would definitely book again!

Family home in leafy suburb with back-up power
It was incredible to stay here! Especially with young kids. Tristan was always so helpful and kind. My family will be staying here again when we visit again!

Little Chelsea House Parkhurst
Michael is very committed, friendly, extremely helpful and easily accessible! The house offers a lot of space for a large group, free space to enjoy and relax. The garden and the braai area invite you to linger for hours. The furnishings throughout the house leave nothing to be desired, everything is in impeccable condition, the rooms are very spacious, it just has a lot of space! The kitchen is very spacious and has all the appliances needed for cooking, baking, sizzling! The house has a lady who takes care of the rooms, the cleanliness and the care of the house twice a week, more on request. She is a very warm and kind person, always happy to help. The gardeners are very committed, keep the beautiful garden very clean and very well maintained. In short: a little paradise. For us as golfers all the more because the house allows the view of the Parkview GC…always exciting to watch how other golfers interpret the game for themselves.

I loved her and she was amazing and very responsive. I had a small hiccup my first night and it wasn’t anything short of amazing on how fast she fixed the problem herself. She made sure we were comfortable and everything was to my liking. I will def be returning and using her home again…

Family home 10 mins from Sandton
Home away from home is the only way to describe this place. Beautifully decor designed inside and outside. Great location, easy to get to places around Johannesburg. The house is clean and has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Patrick is an amazing host. Communication was great, always so attentive. Very friendly and welcoming. The highlight for our stay was the braai area. Such a nice hangout place to have as a feature. Looks exactly as described. Definitely booking again in the near future.

Beautiful 2 bedroom cottage among the trees
We had the pleasure of staying at Stanley & Alison's cottage for a long stay, and it was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Our cat, Meadow, was warmly welcomed, which meant so much to us. The cottage is nestled among stunning trees and abundant wildlife, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Its location is incredibly convenient—close to Melrose Arch, Rosebank Mall, Norwood Mall, and just about anything else we needed. The cottage itself is spacious, well maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we could need in the kitchen, bathroom, and for linens. The weekly visits from the friendly cleaner and helpful gardener were a lovely bonus and added to the ease of our stay. Stanley & Alison were excellent hosts, and we truly loved every moment of our time here. We can’t recommend this cottage enough to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-situated retreat. Thank you for an unforgettable stay! 🌿
