Upper Houghton Guesthouse

Women come back here a third time because Marcus, Gail, and Allen treat a long stay like a long friendship: one guest left for the airport via a restaurant brunch they organised themselves. The pool and antique-furnished rooms are genuinely quiet, though it reads as a place to settle into rather than pass through.

• One reviewer stayed for five weeks and noted the hosts organised a tour of several tourist attractions during her stay, and on departure day drove her to a restaurant for brunch before dropping her off at the airport.
• The complimentary breakfast is well presented and described as delicious and more than adequate.
• One reviewer described relaxing beside the swimming pool and on the patio, noting the antique furniture adds to the peaceful character of the property.
• At least one reviewer has returned for a third stay, citing spacious en-suite rooms and consistent hospitality from Marcus and his family.
• The property has a garden, swimming pool, patio, and antique furniture throughout.
• Rooms are described as spacious and en-suite, and are consistently kept clean and well maintained.
• A complimentary breakfast is included and multiple guests highlighted it as a genuine highlight.
• At least one guest received an airport drop-off arranged by the hosts on departure day.
• The surrounding area as green and peaceful, with the property positioned as a quieter retreat from central Johannesburg.
