We stayed here for two nights. The cottage was great and Gavin the owner was very friendly. We liked the place and there was a very good pizzeria and some other decent restaurants just around the corner. We would certainly come back and stay at the House on York on a future trip to Johannesburg but would then not use... More

Inspite of my email a day earlier of our ETA and acknowledged by Gavin the owner, there was no one at the hotel to check us in. The only person available was the house maid who had no clue who we were. After little checking on her mobile phone she showed us to our rooms and left soon after for... More

We arrived early evening and it was dark. Initially we found it hard to find but that was because the satnav was poor. Once there we were overjoyed by the room and the owners help. He was a wealth of information and stories. Everything kids could ever want and nothing was a problem. This was a 1 night stay and... More

Its in a quiet neighborhood and safe locality. From outside it doesnt look much but its real comfortable inside. They had real good beds with complimentary wine. We left early so could not enjoy the breakfast. Each room is decorated tastefully

From the outside it doesn't look like much but inside it feels like you're at home. We were in 3 different rooms in our group, all of which had their unique feeling. Very homely and plenty of space. The place has all the facilities you need and a large communal area with a heap of games including pool and foosball.... More

We stayed at House on York for one night with a family of five. The family unit in the garden was excellent with lots of space and a real homey atmosphere. Kids could play crocket in the garden. Service was very friendly and helpful and the location is very convenient in a safe area, near Eastgate mall and the airport.... More

This couldn't have been more perfect. Gavin was amazingly helpful, both over email prior to the booking, during the process and whilst we were staying. The taxi driver met us off the place as promised and we were welcomed by the night manager with a big smile! Our room was great, super comfy bed, loads of space and a powerful... More
