Great location and very close to Eastgate Mall. Only 17 km from OR Tambo International Airport. Lovely swimming pool and surprisingly a peaceful and quiet setting. Very affordable.

This is one of the best accommodations, it's very comfortable and homely. Located in a quiet neighbourhood. From the time we arrived we felt very warmly recived, we checked in earlier than check in time and there were nonissues there- found our rooms ready! The room is quite spacious. Very lovely and friendly staff. The garden/pool area was our favourite, very nice just as the pictures show. Very clean pool. The yard is also right below flights path so every now and then we saw planes pass right above us from O.R Tambo - my son really enjoyed this! Well equipped kitchen with several types of cereal provided as well as a cartoon of milk! (How thoughtful!) Lots of storage space in the room plus the bathroom. Lots of towels provided even to use for pool. We had parking right beside our room, felt very safe.

There was no running water, however this is communicated right when we checked in that there was some ongoing maintenance in the area (not their fault!) but our host provided us with bottles of water on the day and the following morning. No aircon in the room but a fan was provided. Cereal bowls were too small (almost not practical for an adult).🤣

They had premium quality coffee for our usage, and a full carton of fresh milk, which was a lovely gesture. We also had an assortment of breakfast cereals, all neatly packed in individual single use sizes. The 2 beds in the bedroom was beautifully covered.

The toilets flushing mechanism did not work, so we had a bucket with water next to the toilet to flush, which caused some difficulty for my grandmother.

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.

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

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.

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.
