El Gecko is a delightful, quiet oasis in the city. Clean, and safe, with the friendly help of Pat and her staff to organize meals out, and excursions in Johannesburg. Enjoyed watching the masked weaver try to weave a house to suit his wife. Beautiful garden, and lots of plans for improvements. Had dinner in the lodge one night, a nice variety of South African dishes. Will stay again if we have the opportunitiy. The nearby new Greenstone Mall a good option for meals and shopping.

Très décevant car aucun remboursement n'a été effectué jusqu'à ce jour malgré une annulation du séjour bien avant la date limite comme spécifié par le contrat et comme mentionné dans les différents échanges de mail à ce sujet.

Good day Renaud I am so sorry that at the time our guesthouse and our family had gone through a very trying time. My husband and my son were kidnapped and held hostage and R 100 000 was physically removed from our bank account. We have the BNB on sale at the moment and the minute we sell I endeavour to make your reimbursement our priority! Kind regards Pat Green

El Gecko is a lovely, comfortable place to stay while visiting Johannesburg. The B&B is in a gated community in a quiet area. All rooms have access to the lovely yard and gardens. Rooms are comfortable and come with private bath, a small frig, microwave and a kettle to make coffee and tea. Breakfasts were lovely and cooked to order.

Pat and her family are lovely, welcoming hosts to the area. They were able to arrange tours, transportation and provide us with information about attractions, restaurants and shopping in the area. Dinner can also be provided at El Gecko with advance notice.
