It was a fantastic experience.
Today I just want to thank the owner of Cottonwood Olivewood & The Loft for all her efforts. During the difficult time, why I am in Johannesburg, she did everything in her power to make it as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for me. The accommodation was comfortable, clean, comfortable and it felt like I was going home every night. It wasn't just a guest house stay for me, it felt like family. Heart people - I will never forget it, all the care and love and making everything comfortable for me.
See stars.
Amazing hosts. My daughter stayed there for a week. They looked after her so well. The food was excellent.
I had a very nice stay.
The host was very friendly and helpful. The place is extremely clean, and we felt safe.
Clean, comfortable and well located.
We loved the room and the area. Wirie is a wonderful host!
Quiet, peaceful and safe. Friendly people - just feel at home. Very fast internet WiFi.
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Olivewood is comfortable; it met our needs well.
Single traveler remaining in the Loft. Wirie is very friendly, helpful and willing. The loft is neat, clean and perfect for a single traveller. There is covered parking in a garage for A and B class vehicles and remote control access. The area is well lit with sensor lights and cameras. Good Wi-Fi. Note: The Loft's stairs may be challenging for older persons with luggage. Any odors from the lower units (smoke) ascend to the loft. The room is not suitable for tall persons.
My stay was excellent. The room was really cute and clean, perfect for what I needed. It is also really safe and quiet in the neighbourhood, and the property itself is very secure. The owners are also very friendly and accommodating.
I stayed in the Loft. It's a wonderful leafy refuge from the bustle of Johannesburg. The hosts are great, helpful but not intrusive. I'm just sorry I didn't have time to sit out on the deck and enjoy the birds.
See stars.
It was very clean and my money's worth. Wirie made sure I felt safe and home. I would definitely recommend this stay.
The hosts were absolutely lovely. The place is beautiful and is walking distance from Spar, a coffee shop, and other shops on the same street as Spar. The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful.
Love the garden space. Love, love, love it!
Highly recomended for short stays.
Lovely and spacious. Just like a family home.
Awesome people! We slept in a clean and nice place. Thank you.
Between the beautiful garden with birds that start singing early in the morning and super comfortable mattress, I woke up so peacefully that I was only ready to leave hours later than planned. The room is very well furnished, neat and clean. Will book here again.
It's tidy and neat. The service is excellent. They explain everything to you about the area, which side is safe and which one is not. The check-out was 10, but they told us not to rush, we can leave at 11 because their next guests will check in at 1. They call the day before you arrive to confirm what time you are coming. They were so nice to us.
Very clean and pretty. Nice features make you feel as if you are at a resort.
Good place and nice hosts. Near park and spa. I recommend.
Perfect for a one night stay. Very clean and tidy. Friendly hostess and host.
Wirie made us feel very welcome and was very helpful. It was the perfect location in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and shops. We enjoyed the private garden and the plentiful birdlife. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Arrived easily to friendly people and just enjoying my time.
Very cosy, extremely welcoming and homey. The only drawback I'd say was the lack of a sink but it was near perfect.
Wirrie and Anton's hospitality was greatly appreciated. Wirrie is a great cook who accommodated my dietary preferences. The room exceeded all expectations where cleanliness and comfort were concerned.
Very pleasant surroundings. Fantastic host. Quiet and peaceful.
Great hospitality from Wirie. Will go back anytime.
Lovely place to stay and an amazing couple, I felt safe at all times.
Wirie is thoughtful, caring and helpful. The accommodation is conveniently located, homely, sunny and in a lovely garden. I would happily return.
Excellent guest house, beautiful rooms and excellent service. I will definitely go back again.
It was a very nice experience. Would recommend it 100%. Very cute place with a beautiful outside area.
Wirie made us feel at home, was welcoming and ensured that we had a very pleasant stay during this week - the setting is very welcoming and you feel very at home. It was warm and cozy and the location was perfect for our trips to Sandton and Rosebank. She even checked to make sure we arrived home safely - an unexpected, and very personal touch which we appreciated.
It met all my expectations, is situated in a lovely area, is in a safe location. Set in a beautiful garden, and very quite.
I stayed in Olivewood for three weeks during a working visit to Wits. The room was very comfortable with a beautiful garden view and a small table to enjoy the winter sun with a cup of coffee. Wirie and her daughter Andanté offer delicious dinners that are very good value for money, so I really enjoyed their meals. This was especially helpful when I got Covid the second week and had to isolate. Wirie looked after me like I was family, and always made sure I had everything I needed. She even came to drop me medicine. The location was perfect for me; close to Wits and walking distance to Zoo Lake and Parkview's Tyrone Avenue. The area is cheerful and safe, and wonderfully quiet at night. The internet sometimes gave problems, but they went out of their way to fix it for me. Sometimes people would come into my room when I was there, to check the router or collect dishes, which was sometimes a bit of a surprise. It didn't bother me that much but might bother a different type of guest. The dogs are also in and out of the room so beware if you don't like dogs. It was a lovely visit and I will definitely stop by again! Thank you very much Wirie, André, Andanté and Annemarie!
The host was absolutely lovely and our room was just beautiful.
Excellent, affordable.
The guesthouse is well located with excellent security. It is spacious and clean with everything you will need for your stay. It is most definitely must stay and the garden gives it a great atmosphere.
Cottonwood is a family-run guest house that provides gourmet cuisine, and the staff are so friendly. A secure place to stay plus garage parking. I am definitely coming back.
The garden was my absolute favourite. It is absolutely gorgeous. Our host was so lovely and really accommodating and kind. She made sure that we were comfortable. The location is amazing!
The room is neat and big enough, and with a nice kitchenette if you want to cook or work on your laptop. Wirie is very friendly and immediately made me feel at home.
Very friendly helpful staff, secure parking in lock up garage.
My husband was in Jhb for medical treatment. He was welcomed with open arms and Wirie and husband made sure his car was parked safely. A delicious meal was prepared for him after his appointment. A thousand thanks for the hospitality and care.
For the purpose of my visit to Johannesburg it was extremely located. My privacy was respected. Efforts were made to look after my needs. I will go home there again.
