This was the last stay on our trip to South Africa...

This was our last stay on our trip to South Africa and The Parkwood was the perfect place to end an adventure. We felt. The size of the property was big enough to have a dining rhombus small enough that we felt like we were part of a family visiting from out of town. Rooms were large and comfortable, and decorated nicely. The patio, the gardens and library nook added exceptional places to relax. Staff were so friendly and helpful. This was our first visit to Joburg. They helped us map out places to see that were not necessarily on the prime tourist lists.

We had a wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at The Parkwood! The staff are incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed-nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and our room was spacious, comfortable and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others1

Fantastic!

JP is lovely, very smiley face. Sarah the owner/manager came to introduce herself.. Nice fresh fruit at breakfast, plenty variety for breakfast also. Very relaxed, Nothing wrong in my eyes.

The location was ideal for walking to the local shopping mall and the staff advised us the safest route to walk.

Best in class

I stay here frequently after trying many other places.Its one of the best guesthouses in town.Lacks the space and facilities of a big hotel, but does what it sets out to do excellently.

Fabulous Hotel

What a Wonderfull hotel, we are so pleased that we stayed here, just disappointed that it was only for 2 nights.

We stayed in Johannesburg to break up the journey from the UK and before we went on Safari in Zambia and in addition we hadn't visited Johannesburg previously.The Parkwood is in a safe neighbour ( you are free to wander locally during the day but best to book an Uber in the evenings) but also has wonderful security.

The hotel is really well decorated, well maintained and has some lovely communal sitting areas around a pool and after a long flight we spent several hours just chilling out.From the moment we arrived all the team were so helpful-we were very lucky that we were able to check in early ( not something we would have expected-we would have been just happy to drop our bags off) and we were looked after from the moment until we left. It was great to meet and chat with Sarah who was happy to provide recommendations on restaurants/ activities.

The rooms are sizeable each with a small private outdoor courtyard and lovely bathroom.Breakfasts were a mix of a cold buffet and you could order a selection of hot breakfast dishes along with toast-all freshly made.

The Parkwood is a fabulous hotel-you won't be disappointed.....we weren't.
