This is a nice room with a kitchen behind the main house. There was a washer and dryer to use for a small fee. Parking was convenient behind a gait in the front. It was easy to come and go. The room was basic but a good deal for the price. There was a nice pool but it was winter so no desire to use.

a very quaint and quiet place. Pool was cold but very clean and refreshing. The outside ambience was nice and relaxing. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook, although the burners take a long time to heat, it was sufficient enough for me to cook. Not hot enough to boil a pot of pasta water though. I am very pleased with everything overall.

Hospitality and a warm welcome Margaret's Place

Margaret is a friendly, hospitable hostess and runs her business very efficiently. From our first correspondence she was extremely helpful, interactive, wanting our stay to be as comfortable as possibe. Margaret's Place is the perfect place to spend the night before a flight, it being so close to OR Thambo Airport. We will be staying there again.

very good place

It's a very good place. Everything is ok. The only problem is no working desk. Will try the bigger room next time. It's good to have a emergency light in the room because of the load shedding.

Un petit coin de Paradis

Un petit coin de Paradis au milieu de la verdure et des oiseaux. Un accueil chaleureux et une volonté de satisfaire le client. Propre et confortable. Situé dans un endroit calme mais pas tres éloigné du centre grâce à l’application Uber qui permet d’avoir une voiture en 3 ou 4 minutes pour un prix dérisoire . Moins cher et plus confortable que le car. A recommandé

nice little self-catered option in Jo'burg

I had a very nice couple of days at Margaret's Place and Margaret herself was a delightful hostess. I highly recommend this place. The WiFi worked excellently, no shortage of hot water, laundry facilities on site and there was cereal, milk, coffee and tea waiting in the little kitchen.
