This was a very nice BandB but it's headed south, like so much in South Africa.....no maintenance ...Pool was dirty and unusable and bits and pieces falling off appliances...same old story...Didn't see much of the host/ess but they were pleasant enough....the area towards Roberts Ave has deteriorated sharply and now feels very unsafe...same old story...all rather disappointing really but no surprise
The whole experience was a bit sad really

Feels like a home away from home. I would definitely stay here again.

The location was cool. It was nestled in a local neighborhood so it was very quiet. The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. I only needed the place for a few hours to have a comfortable place to rest before my middle of the night flight and it served its purpose.
The only thing that I really didn't like which they actually didn't have much control over was that they were experiencing power load sharing and for two hours the property didn't have any power. This forced me to stay out longer than I wanted to so that I could have access to electricity. Again, it wasn't their fault, but they could have notified me of this before my arrival to the property.

Very friendly staff, that went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. They even brought more of the breakfast cereal I liked, to add to the nice selection they already had available.
The street facing unit was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the street, but not the establishment's fault if passersby made a noise.

I liked everything about Margaret's place. The place exceeded my expectations. The swimming pool view from our rooms was a spectacle 😍😍😍😍👌. The kitchen had all necessary utensils and cereal packs, which was a big lovely surprise😍😍😍. Valden was a great host and paid attention to every details. She told us about the loadshedding schedule. She came to see about us on Sunday before we checked out. Whenever I'm in Joburg, I'll make Margaret's place my home. Thank you for your Hospitality.

Everything was just amazing, it was so comfortable we felt at home. We were so tired from going out to get some food and guess what. Cereal was provided for us we had no reason to go out. I'm glad I found a home away from home. I will definitely come back again and recommend the place to friends and colleagues.
There was nothing not to like the place was perfect.

Very dangerous place, could cost your life, never ever book this place. Nothing, absolutely terrible place.
Very Very dangerous place. it was my worst experience. I ve been 71 countries, but this is the worst place on the word. Never go here. be careful with this place. I booked this place for my last night In SA because of good comments, but they just asking people to leave good comments. I arrived from Cape town about 8 pm. I wrote previously I will be a bit later. but when I m arrived they opened the door and said it is too late, we will not receive you. I was very afried and begging for help. Can you imagine darkness, Johannesburg, no taxi on this area, nothing. They just closed the door, and ignored me. They left me with paid Booking on the street. I don't want to memorize what happened after that, still in shock. Few days later I called booking.com and Margaret place said "we didn't have any problems to receive him". Really? you said me "no" on my face and after that you said this to booking? Never ever book this place, coud cost you all your belongings and your life. Absolutely horror experience.

The unit we were placed in was located away from the main house which was ideal. Connection to wifi was great.
Great space for packing clothes etc.
The bed was made up of two singles which was uncomfortable. Would prefer a normal couch instead of a sleeper couch in the tv room.
10.0 / 10.0
The room is spacious, no burglar-proofing on the main window, giving a pleasing view onto a beautiful garden and pool.
Enjoy breakfast/dinner around the pool. Very private, comfy couch with good TV channels, full kitchen facillities in the kitchenette. A great getaway!
