There was a lot to like: the room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and ready to answer any question. The garden was big and full of trees. It was a lovely space to just sit and relax, and also to bird-watch. The breakfast was delicious, and served right on time. The location is on a leafy street, with several restaurant options nearby as well as closely located to the Zone@Rosebank, with more restaurants and the start-off point for the Hop On Hop Off bus, which was a relaxing way to cover a lot of Johannesburg. We'd gladly come back to Leighwood Lodge.

We liked everything.

Host Leigh is amazing. SHe was wonderful, attentive to all my needs, and went beyond what was needed to suggest places to see, prepare meals and everything. The stuff was great too. Jessie helped a lot with carrying my luggage and helping in other ways.

It's not just Leighwood Lodge but in general in Jo'burg, it's not suggested to walk by yourself in many places. Leighwood Lodge looked like is in a residential area and if you want to access the downtown or CBD or any place of interest, or even to go to a restaurant, you need to take an Uber.

I did not partake of the meals offered during my stay. I am not much of a breakfast eater and the rusks and coffee provided in the room were enough for me. Every member of the staff that I encountered was so friendly and helpful. The room was warm, inviting and so comfortable. It included a free glass of sherry, which was such a wonderful and unexpected surprise! The grounds are just gorgeous and a wonderful place to sit in the sun to enjoy coffee or tea, or a glass of wine at sunset. It was a lovely walk to 4th Avenue, and just long enough. It was a great stay in a nice quiet neighborhood.

I know that there must be things to improve upon, there always are, and maybe if I had stayed more nights I could have found them. However, in my 2-night stay, there was not one thing I would suggest they do differently.

Our ‘hostess’ Leigh was wonderful. She could not have been more helpful on all fronts - where to shop, where to eat, how to get there, etc. She was very happy to arrange taxis, etc. for us and made us feel very much at home. The Lodge was extremely comfortable with a beautiful garden. The staff were very personable, helpful and friendly. When we next visit Johannesburg we will definitely be returning to Leighwood Lodge.

Nothing to dislike

This is a B&B located in a residential area in Joburg. It's very elegant and well maintained, with a pretty garden and a pool (Which we didn't use, not warm enough for us). Check-in was seamless (Important to let them know what time you will arrive) and we quickly got to our room, which was very large and pretty. Bed was comfortable, shower was great, and there was plenty of space. The breakfast is served in the main building (you make your choice of food and time the day before) and was delicious and plentyful. Great option of place to stay in this area of town.

The only issue we had is that one time we tried to exit the place through the pedestrian door (not the one used by the cars) and we ended up being locked between 2 gates. We ringed the doorbell and then the door was opened for us to get back in; we suggest to make it more clear to guests not to use this entrance. Minor incident though, we surely would stay here again.

We had a lovely 4 day stay at this charming bed & breakfast. Owner Leigh and her professional staff were exceptional and very welcoming. They made sure throughout our visit that everything was well and gave a few good suggestions. We very much liked the location as everything was a short Uber ride away and there were nice restaurants in the area as well. Room itself was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Pool in the lodge was lovely and surrounded by a beautiful and well-kept garden. Simply loved it! Thank you for your hospitality.

There is nothing like the generosity and hospitality of South Africa, and Leigh exemplifies this. She prepared delicious meals for us as we arrived late in Jhb one night and wanted a relaxed evening outside with friends the second. It felt such a treat to spend the evening outside at their lodge. Leighwood lodge has a beautiful, oasis like garden attracting all types of birds. We misplaced an item which Leigh effortlessly ensured made its way to us in Cape Town. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Location ideal. Close enough to the airport. Highly recommend Leighwood lodge for business and tourist travelers.

I can't think of anything.

Beautiful property with a lovely garden and pool. Our room was super, great size with a very comfortable bed and large bathroom. Appreciated the fresh ground coffee and cafetière. Located close to many good restaurants and easy drive from the airport. Best part was the wonderful hospitality of Leigh, Tug, Sheila,Vee and of course the other staff who made our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be back and thank you all.

The minute we arrived we were welcomed by Vee who took our bags and showed us around. The guest house has a stunning garden with a beautiful pool. Leigh also welcomed us with a much needed g&t after the 7 hour journey back from Kruger! Our room was spacious and had tea, coffee, drinks and snacks. The staff really make this place. They really care about you having the best stay possible. Thank you so much Leigh and Vee!

The Lodge is very peaceful in a quite safe neighborhood. It’s 15 minutes walk away from the nearby town with malls and restaurants and bars. I loved the setting of self care entry and exits. They served great breakfast. Shirley was so helpful replying the emails messages on both WhatsApp and Booking.com messenger. She helped me in securing my Visa to South Africa. I can’t thank her enough 🙏🙏🙏

Nothing everything was great
