    I liked everything about the property. It’s comfortable and quiet. It’s an en-suite. The owner is very nice and she leaves the guests with the place for the time booked so that you can be free and she’s also available 24hrs on the phone. There’s hot water, fridge, microwave, stove, sofa, smart tv and they also provide you with cutlery. It has everything a home has. It’s absolutely the best and worth the money. I think I’ve found my favorite place to go to when I need some piece of mind.

    An extraordinary host, who took great care of us. The lady booked us a great restaurant, made sure everything went smoothly for us throughout our stay. She even took time out to do my hair 😁. She has a very nice Guest House project, a safe place, with relaxation areas coming up and we wish her all the best for success.

    When considering a guest house in Soweto. This is definitely one of the best. I have stayed here twice and the rooms are clean and beautiful just as you see in the pictures.The yard is quiet, safe and clean, so is the area. There are definitely rooms that are better than others as well as we had an even better room on our second stay. The caretaker is a very nice guy who makes sure you're all set and is there when we need him.

    The location is quiet and safe and the property is clean. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the property, just an unprofessional host who prefers to take conversations offline from Booking.Com so that she can ask for more money than agreed on the booking platform. She was kind to offer a bottle of bubbly as we were celebrating a special occasion.

    Fairly new place. Beautifully decorated room. Warm with a beautiful welcoming scent. I liked how the host/care taker had beautiful serene music playing in the room apon arrival. This place is located in a very clean and quiet side of the township. We felt somewhat safe.

NOT ONCE DID THEY DISAPPOINT US, THEY'RE INDEED TOP NOTCH PLACE TO STAY. AS A RESULT, ALL MY RUNNING TEAMMATES I TRAVEL WITH THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAY WITH ME IN THIS PLACE. LUNGI & PARTNER (OWNERS) ARE INDEED AN AMAIZING TEAM, GREAT HOSTS. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO DO MORE FOR THEIR GUESTS. I'LL DEFINATELY (ALWAYS) RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.
