A tranquil and serene rustic setting, with first-class in-room accommodations (like Jacuzzi bath tubs, outdoor courtyard gardens with shower- in some rooms) all nestled behind private, quiet security walls. You would never believe you are in such a large bustling city. The Parkwood is managed by a small, gracious and personable staff that always cares to make your stay a... More

I and my colleagues have been using The Parkwood for the past 5 years on regular business trips to JHB. The owners, management and staff are very friendly yet discrete. The rooms are well appointed, beingboth spacious and comfortable. The Parkwood is centrally situated in a safe neighbourhood with great restaurants just up the road. Speaking of food The Parkwood...

I absolutely love the Parkwood. Rooms are gorgeous and comfortable, staff is friendly and hospitable -- the whole place is an oasis of serenity in the midst of hectic Joburg. No food services after breakfast, but you are a short walk from the Rosebank mall, and Parkwood provides delivery menus.. which make it seem even more like home. I've stayed... More

I regularly travel on business, also to Johannesburg. Following a recommendation by a colleague, I started staying at the Parkwood and have done so for the past three years. The relaxed, infornal atmosphere is a welcome change from hotels, which after a while all start looking and feeling the same. The lodge features a number of outside and inside communal... More

I visited on business, staying only one night but found it to be much nicer than other the "name brand" hotel that I had stayed at in the same area on a previous trip. The room was very comfortable and the underfloor heating was a very nice touch. The staff were particularly helpful and my colleagues and I felt quite... More

I've had the priviledge of staying at the Parwood while on business in JHB. This boutique establishment provides a serene breakaway from the madness that is JHB. While situated close to the business districts, you tend to forget where you are once you're behind the gates. The luxurious rooms (well they are actually more like cottages) are well equipped and...

This was our first stop on our recent trip to South Africa. This is a really beautiful jewel box of a hotel - a wonderful welcome after 30 hours of travel. The rooms are spacious and luxurious. We had a sitting area and a private, enclosed outdoor shower in addition to the soaking tub. Our traveling partner did not have... More

The Parkwood Guest Lodge, quietly yet conveniently located in a secure peaceful location in Johannesburg, yet close to the interesting shopping and restaurants of Parkhurst, Rosebank and Parktown North was a perfect base for us. In a lovely garden setting with on-site parking, lovely indoor and outdoor public areas, and excellent breakfasts.Our accommodation was superb. A spacious bedroom and bathroom... More

We were very impressed with the level of both service and accommodation at the Parkwood. It is a series of small buildings/units on a lovely property, rather than a house, which gives more privacy and quiet. The rooms are very nicely decorated, and well laid-out, The beds are quite hard, but we found that in most places we stayed in... More

The Parkwood is one of the most beautifully designed hotels at which I've ever stayed - it really is quite something. Rooms are huge and extremely comfortable; ours had a wonderful bath, shower and outside shower, and a lovely outside area in which to sit. The attention to detail is extraordinary - little jugs of fresh milk in the communal... More
