Great location

Great location. Close to Rosebank where there are many great restaurants to chose from. Lovely breakfast. Friendly service. Only suggestion is for an aircon as fan was super noisy in room. Cannot leave windows open due to mosquitoes. Other than that we will be back.

Interesting option with drawbacks

I think it's important to know this is someone's house with a few hotel rooms upstairs. There are some less-than-ideal aspects. The place is very echoey, so if the owners are entertaining downstairs you will hear it in your room. The lighting is very harsh, bright white, which is a big no for me personally. And the bathroom/shower has frosted glass walls that lead on to the hallway. No one can really see you but it doesn't feel that comfortable. Just some strange design choices. The owner couple is incredibly sweet though and they have two very nice dogs too. So if you like a semi-homestay kind of feeling and aren't too picky about lighting and room design, it can be a comfortable and even unique stay.

Sam e sua equipe são sensacionais

Definitivamente um achado em Joanesburgo! Sam e sua equipe são simplesmente adoráveis. Chegamos muito cedo de um voo mega cansativo e conseguimos um early check in e foi ótimo. A casa é super confortável e bem próxima de Rosebank. Café da manhã bem servido. Com certeza recomendamos muito o espaço! Ps: os doguinhos são super fofos 😍

Das Houghton Place is wirklich ein ganz besonderes Guest-House. Die Gastgeber Sam und Jen stehen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und wir hatten viele tolle Gespräche bei einem Gläschen Wein. Es ist genau dieser persönliche Touch, den ich außergewöhnlich fand. Das Interiour und Licht Design der Räume ist fantastisch. Und das jederzeit Cookies und Tee-Beutel im Zimmer gab, war ein großes Plus. It's the little things that count! Also ich werde auf jeden Fall zurück kommen, die Gastfreundschaft und das persönliche Erlebnis waren einfach fantastisch.
