Situated in the suburb of Melville in Johannesburg, Lucky Bean Guesthouse features a lush garden and an outdoor pool. The guest house is 1 km from the Country Club.

Stylishly decorated, the bright and spacious rooms offer a patio with garden views, satellite TV and tea-and-coffee making facilities. Free WiFi is available. Everything I could have wanted and more. Conway and Tatiana were exceptional hosts who helped make everything I wanted happen, from arranging transport from the airport to recommending places to eat and visit, to setting up dinner reservations, there was nothing they were not able to do for us. I cannot say we enough good things about them and the rest of the staff. Excellent stay.

Located in Houghton, The Residence is a boutique hotel that offers spacious suites with a spa bath, and a balcony overlooking the garden, the fire pit or the outdoor pool.

Each of the air-conditioned suites is elegantly decorated with antique French crystal chandeliers, dramatic velvet drapes and Persian rugs. All the suites have king size beds with pillows of soft goose down and fine Egyptian cottons. We loved the design of this hotel. It was like Ethan Allen had had a hand in decorating the public spaces - it was so perfectly boho British Colonial. We loved the cozy bar and the lush plantings on the grounds of the hotel. Also loved the breezeway with the coy pond on the way to the bar and restaurant. Our room was very comfortable. The staff was laid back while still being professional. We have stayed in many places in South Africa that were super-duper deluxe. We liked that The Residence felt more homey and comfortable without being over the top.

The air-conditioned rooms at The Wesley Boutique Hotel & Spa are bright and airy and have tiled flooring. They include a tea/coffee maker and a private bathroom. Some rooms have a private balcony. Everything was so perfect and well thought! The staff is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I think words can’t express just how much we enjoyed the experience. Shout out to Giselle, incredibly nice and helpful, she really knows how to make guests feel comfortable and welcomed!
