Parktown Accommodation / Kitson House Parktown Accommodation / Guest House Accommodation in Parktown

This elegant and genteel guesthouse, designed by Sir Herbert Baker in 1903, is conveniently situated in the leafy suburb of Parktown, Johannesburg. The M1 motorway is 500m from the doorstep, providing the business executive as well as the leisure traveller with quick and easy access to the Melrose Arch, Rosebank and Sandton shopping and business areas within a few minutes.

Guests can enjoy the convenience of being on the doorstep of Wits University, the Donald Gordon Medical Institute, Milpark Hospital and the Johannesburg Central Business District whilst still indulging in boutique style comforts, fine dining and exceptional service.

The guesthouse has been tastefully furnished and decorated by interior designer Amourette Vorster, to capture the elegance of a bygone era whilst keeping up to date with modern conveniences and trends. Renovations to the house have respected the heritage status of the property which is the best preserved example of this type of architecture.

Imported fabrics, luxurious throws and bedding provide a restful respite after a hectic day’s work, shopping or sight-seeing at nearby Constitution Hill, Soweto, Gold Reef City, Maropeng, The Cradle of Humankind or Lion Park. White damask table linen, silver and roses offer guests a special touch to the normal dining experience. Enjoy a complimentary sherry on the ‘stoep’ on a warm Highveld evening or next to a fireplace on winter nights.
