A Night at the Museum is a thatched, country style guest house situated in the countryside of Honeydew in Johannesburg. This lovely guest house is located 17.9 km from the Cradle of Humankind, and offers a unique vintage technology museum on site, where one can experience what life was like between 1800 and 1870, with the conveniences of modern living. Each living space offers its own era of technology.

Accommodation is offered in 4 themed bedrooms overlooking the tranquil garden, with water features, a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. The coal stove in the period kitchen, as well as the fireplace in the lounge, are guaranteed to keep one warm in winter. Experience a vintage collection in action, while enjoying a drink at the bar.

The location offers access to several wildlife reserves, game reserves, botanical gardens, Hartbeespoort Dam and the city of Johannesburg. The guest house offers a unique way for guests to visit the surrounding areas in one of their 10 classic cars. Guests can be chauffeured in style, shown around by your host, a qualified tour guide. The local airport, Lanseria International Airport, is 14.2 km away and O.R. Tambo International Airport is 48.3 km away. Transfers are available.

The owner, Shawn, started collecting vintage technological items such as cameras, projectors, valve radios, gramophones, classic cars, vintage tractors, and engines from a very young age. These are exhibited in and around the guest house.
