I stayed in Oak Cottage for 3 nights and loved it. Dan was an excellent host. When I had issues with the bedroom lights not switching off due to being damaged by load shedding, he came across immediately when I phoned him, made a temporary plan and then got it sorted the next morning. Oak Cottage is well equipped and private and has everything you need. I was very impressed that they have full DSTV! The venue is situated in a very quiet and safe area, has secure parking and beautiful gardens, and easy to find. I will definitely return when I next have to go to Jhb. The only thing was I was trying to get bank details to pay the balance of my account. I sent a message via this website's messaging platform to them, and also emailed them directly and never have received a response. However Dan quickly sorted me out when I asked him. He is a real asset, so hospitable and makes you feel very welcome.

I was stressed and between apartment's, I was only intending to stay for 2 weeks. Five months later I was sad to leave and highly recommend this guesthouse for any duration. You will immediately feel at home in these relaxed surroundings, coupled with friendly accommodating staff & management who are always available. Full thumbs up to dear Magda and her team

Terrible service from Magda and team when items went missing at check-out. Very rude interactions via social media and extremely disappointing. South African guests are treated very differently to international which should not be the case at all! Having travelled extensively, this one isna definite no!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You were so fully booked and I had to go for one night to another guest house. No, no, no.....This is my home. Everyone is friendly and helpful. From the Manager to the staff. Clean and safe. I will send all my family here.

We were really surprised at the value for money. The complimentary items left in the fridge were most enjoyable and unexpected. We will definitely make use of Linden Place in the future. MRS KARYN BREMNER

Ons Kapenaars was maar bang die eerste keer na Johannesburg. Die ontvangs was so ontspanne en vriendelik. Nooit geweet Johannesburg kan so veilig en vriendelik wees nie. Dankie dat jul 'n "vreesvolle" trippie na 'n stunning aangename een verander het!
