Lovely tree-filled oasis

This is a wonderful oasis. My room was in a small guesthouse on the premises, with a large and beautiful bedroom and full bath. There were even teas and and container of biscotti for late night snacks. The rooms faced a goldfish pond, so that I woke every morning to birdsong. Linda the manager and Andre the host were gracious and helpful, particularly to someone new to Joburg. I highly recommend this guest house, particularly for travelers coming from afar like me. It's such a treat to come back to after a day of sightseeing, and feel as though you're in your little home.
