“This Johannesburg guest house has a seasonal outdoor pool and gardens, a plus for leisure travelers; its proximity to Gold Reef City and the Apartheid Museum adds convenience. I think the inclusion of free parking and breakfast makes it a practical choice. Its non-smoking rooms and paid airport shuttle add to its appeal.”
