I have just returned from South Africa and wanted to write a review on this wonderful guest house. I stayed at the beginning of a trip with family and then at the end on my own. Each time I was really impressed with the standard of service offered by the owner, her son and the staff. Nothing was too much... More

My husband and I had a most enjoyable stay at Ginnegaap Guest House. We spent one night there before we went on a three day safari at the Kruger Park and a second night when we returned. We were able to leave our suitcases there while we were away which was very convenient. Both of our rooms were very comfortable,... More

I went to the Holi One festival at the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens at Emmarentia Dam. Thought the festivities will continue into the night, so I booked a room close by as I was too lazy to drive back to Pretoria (80km). Plus: I could check in at 10:00 instead of 13:00. Yummy hot breakfast, great selection. Nice garden to relax... More

I stayed there while on business and it was great to relax at this B&B with its bohemian feel, amazing staff, clean rooms, good food, and only a short walk from the heart of Melville. I plan to stay there again for my next trip.

I had a very pleasant stay in Ginnegaap guesthouse. The room I had chosen was perhaps not one the best, but the services, the ambiance and the position make it a very intelligent choice for one who desires to spend some days in the splendid Melville area of Johannesburg.

The guest house itself has a wonderful ambiance, starting with the large lawn that greets you when you enter the property. The room I had was clean and comfortable. At breakfast, you are offered a number of... More

Ginnegaap Stay Jan 2013 Stayed at the guesthouse for 2 nights earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed. The service and security were fantastic, the quality of the rooms and breakfast great and the location conveniently located to nearby 7th street.

Not 4 or 5 star accomodations, but sufficient and good vlaue. The real standouts are the staff, who were amazing with maintaining the rooms, serving the guests and putting on a mean breakfast! Everything was always working and in place. Unexpectedly, there was never a welcome from the owner/managers, something that has almost always happened at guesthouse/bed and breakfast in... More

The service was most agreeable, with the staff always friendly and smiling and ready to please. The rooms are tastefully furnished, clean and most practical for self-servicing an evening meal. While in a quiet, sunny garden with mature trees and giving off the scent of jasmine in the evening, this B&B is a 5-minute walk away from shops, cafes and... More
