Nestled in the quiet tree-lined suburb of Parkwood in Johannesburg, The Ashford is a fresh and sparkling addition to the bed and breakfast market. At first glimpse of The Ashford, guests are greeted by a classic, expansive patio which wraps itself generously around the entire house, creating a cool and breezy space away from the harsh Highveld sun. Central to the reception area is a beautiful atrium which spreads light throughout the guest house, all day long. The architecture, as a whole, speaks of luxury without being ostentatious, is practical and efficient without being cluttered, and offers a warm, friendly and tasteful space. The Ashford has five double rooms with bathrooms en-suite, and includes all the facilities necessary to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. All rooms have doors which open up onto the shaded patio, and all have DSTV and tea and coffee facilities. An English breakfast is served every morning and the rich aroma of freshly ground coffee in the dining area is seldom absent. For the Worlkaholics we offer free wireless throughout. A 24-hour security patrol is in place, and parking is secure. The guest house, like The Ashford team, has a wonderful, sunny disposition about it, and we look forward to welcoming visitors from far-flung places, as well as domestic travellers who happen to find themselves in Johannesburg – whether for business or pleasure.
My husband and me, we traveled to ZA for the first time. Our first stop was at The Ashford guesthouse. That was actually a perfect choice! :-) I really loved their fittings and furnishings on the whole property. Everything was so lovely! We stayed there for 4 nights. The staff has been unbelievable great, too! As we are booth vegans, it was difficult to find the right accommodation. But the guesthouse staff is open minded to create a vegan breakfast every morning. It was delicious! The situation of the guesthouse is good, as you have the chance to walk to the Rosebank Mall close by. There, you can find lots of shops and restaurants. All in all, we definitely recommend this place! As we won’t make it to the Kruger NP this time, we definitely have to come back and we’ll book this guesthouse again! :-) Thanks for everything!…

Just spent Valentines night at the Ashford Guesthouse and what a treat it was!! We were spoiled with a bottle of wine, chocolates and a rose - it made the night extra special. The room was big and had all the amenities you will require. The Ashford is beautifully decorated, welcoming with the first step into the guest house. The Ashford is a home away from home, the staff are friendly and the breakfast was hearty and delicious. It is conveniently located close to Rosebank mall and restaurants. Highly recommended for a night, a week and even longer

We stayed at The Ashford for our Anniversary and were blown away. Rooms are spotlessly clean and large enough to feel comfortable even for a long stay. Every detail and every corner of the interiors and exteriors are built with love and perfect taste. We had breakfast at the guesthouse and the quantity and quality were amazing! The stay was amazing and we would definitely return. THANK YOU!!!

Right from the start, the greeting is so friendly, its a home away from home when on business. Megan/Zanele & Tabs are incredible hostesses. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. Beds are VERY comfortable, she bakes the most delicious choc chip biscuits too. The breakfast is great and its just a wonderful place to come back to. To add to this bonus is that Megan runs a Travel Agency from the building so its very handy if you are in need, she's super efficient in helping out. I look forward to more visits with them all.

I can only recommend the Ashford. Closest place to home. Excellent service. They go the extra mile. Lovely warm staff. The rooms are very comfortable and air conditioned. One of the few guest houses that offers feather pillows. You can order a great pie for dinner at the guest house. The breakfast is excellent. I continue to go back (i.e. at least 4 x per year while on business in Johannesburg).

This is just such a wonderful option when you are looking for accommodation especially when traveling for business in Johannesburg. This is my first choice. It is small only 6 bedrooms but has everything you are looking . The house has been stylishly decorated and the rooms are spacious and have everything you need and more. The ladies that run it are friendly and super efficient. The breakfast is delicious and great way to start the day. There is a honesty bar and restaurants are super close.

Prepare to be spoiled at the Ashford … Attentive, welcoming staff, well appointed, spacious rooms with all mod-cons. Delightful environs with a tranquil garden and a great feeling of security. Breakfast is a treat and made to order by the smiling staff. Could not fault the service or comfort of my stay at the Ashford, which is close to the Gautrain and the fabulous shopping precinct of Rosebank. Hope to be back sometime soon!
