We had an incredible stay at the Wantage Suites! The place was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. The staff and the manager were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The location is excellent, just a 2-minute walk to McDonald's and a 5-minute walk to Rosebank Mall. They even allowed us to store our luggage after check-out, which was a huge convenience. Highly recommend this place!

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Bryanston Boutique for two weeks and I genuinely didn’t want to leave. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The location is perfect, peaceful, safe and conveniently situated in Johannesburg’s Bryanston area. The guest house itself is spotless, with a beautiful garden that adds a sense of calm and charm to the whole experience. My room was incredibly spacious and the bed, honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. The staff are friendly and attentive and together with the host, go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and cared for. It’s clear that a lot of love and thought goes into every detail. This place offered me comfort, security and that “home away from home” feeling. I can’t recommend The Bryanston Boutique enough. I’ll definitely be back!

The cottage was beautiful! Very clean and very neat - and there was so many facilities and even videos on how to use the different facilities. The staff were very friendly and did not hesitate to assist with anything. The area is quiet and safe and very spacious. We enjoyed our stay - truly 10/10. It's a hidden gem!

The facilities at this hotel were a pleasant surprise. Though budget, there were toiletries provided, breakfast at an additional charge of ZAR 110 and there is a full lunch and dinner menu too. The bar is fairly stocked and there is a pool as well. We watched the Rugby World Cup in the dining area (TV is faulty as it kept blacking out). Location is close to Sandton City. The hotel is gleaming and the rooms are spotless - kudos to the cleaning staff.
