Estelle was extremely helpful when we arrived with an issue with our luggage. The personal attention she showed and lengths she went to honestly saved the end of our trip from becoming a disaster! Breakfast was sensational! The best we had on our trip to South Africa and up there with the best of all time. The room was very clean and nice and quiet. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything was perfect. I would love to move in permanently. Beautifully appointed room, great water pressure and fast Wi-Fi. Lovely patio outside the room. Chris was the perfect host, and a big shoutout to Allison, Beauty and Oskar. Due to the government electricity blackouts there were daily periods of no electricity, but Chris ensured the backup generator kicked in so guests were not inconvenienced. Loved the breakfasts, and had dinner most nights at the guesthouse. All were exceptional.

This is an absolutely beautiful guesthouse! It is set in lovely grounds, where you can hear lots of birds. The property is immaculate; everything is in pristine condition and super clean. My room was one of the suites and I had a balcony overlooking the garden - so peaceful and relaxing. Lovely big bath in the room as well and the bed was very comfortable. I am vegan and the hosts made extra effort to accommodate me with a delicious breakfast, which I very much appreciated. I would highly recommend staying here, and I will definitely come back next time I am in this part of Johannesburg.

    Pecan Tree Guesthouse is in a very quiet, secure area. The location for us was perfect as we needed to be at St Stithians Aquatic Centre each day (for 4days). The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable and the hosts were very friendly , supportive and helpful. This is certainly great value for your money. Breakfast was delicious especially the omelette prepared by Maria. We will certainly be back and we would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. Good provision has been made for power during the regular load shedding time slots.

    This gem had a convenient check in and check out process. Absolute value and you are close to the Makro at Riversands if you forgot to pack something, 😅. Rooms have air-con for the hot summer months, the staff is very friendly and timely. Great host and the horses are charming.
