Detailed Reviews
We stayed from 31 December to 11 January and felt like the Vanilla B and B was our home for that time. Mavis and her team looked after us so well and made us so welcome. The wonderful welcome, freshly cooked to order breakfasts and access to the facilities really helped made our trip for a family wedding and and reunion a gold star experience.

Smart TV is a win.
We enjoyed how Chilled the place was. It's in a
quiet area even though still in the heart of
Randburg
The Breakfast was filling, they had several
options and we enjoyed it. The pool is well
maintained, the room is very spacious. With big
shower and separated toilet.The blinds let in a lot of light though.

The Vanilla Guesthouse is an Amazing place to stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The Staff was super friendly and breakfast was divine. It was my first time going to Johannesburg and I would recommend staying at the guesthouse to anyone who goes.

We did not receive the gate code prior to arrival and had to make a phone call in order to gain access to the property. Not much help for international travellers without a phone. The room was pleasant and the bed comfortable. The property has no generator and the rooms have no night lights to cater for load shedding. The walkway from the parking area to the room was completely dark without any outside lights during load shedding. The breakfast was absolutely minimal.

It is always such a pleasure to stay at Vanilla Guesthouse!
Sonja and her team have things running like clockwork!
This home in a quite residential street has everything you need for a relaxing stay, whether business or pleasure.
The rooms are well appointed with amazing linen, comfortable beds, and TV's with streaming services. An honesty bar in the communal area, is great for a nightcap, or a mineral water after a few nightcaps.

Lovely place with nice amenities, excellent service. The breakfast was also good! Not a fan of the gas heating system. Another downside is that the rooms are very close to the kitchen and dining area, so can be very noisy.

1. Pound for Pound the best place I have stayed in the world although it's small but its excellent...I normally stay at big 5 star hotels in Sandton but don't anymore since I found this gem for 5th of the price...
2. I travel all over the world only staying in very luxurious 5star hotels but this place is the cleanest i have ever stayed in.
3. They just need to improve their breakfast otherwise everything is 7stars...
4. The 2 ladies working around the lodge are lovely & always polite & smiling.
