Loved my time at Whara-Whara ... had a lovely room with private bathroom across the passage. I was given my space by the hosts which I spent mainly on my gorgeous little private patio area overlooking the pool and garden. Having a glass of wine with my hosts at the poolside bar was also very nice. I have to mention that the breakfast was just delicious ....

I spent 3 nights at Whara Whara and have absolutely nothing to complain about. As a budget stay I found my room was perfect. I stayed in winter and every effort was made to ensure warmth and comfort. The staff and owners were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be using this accommodation again when I need to travel to Johannesburg.

Lovely, room was great for a couple, but maybe open shower not for non-couples. Spacious and private from rest of the house. Surroundings very quiet. Would have liked to have more choices of channels on TV. Manager very friendly and professional. Lovely breakfast. Thank you. Would recommend this guesthouse.

Our stay at Whara-Whara, although for one night only, was a gem. Joey is the perfect host and the entire experience smack of a professional approach to hospitality. Clean, well equipped and quiet and situated centrally yet not in a busy street, this makes for the perfect stopover or night-out. An excellent breakfast wrapped up our great stay.

I had an overnight stay at this lovely guest house in the 60's room. The owner is lovely and very welcoming, the room was spacious and just what we needed for the short stay we had. Breakfast was also very good and would recommend this to any visitors needing a place to stay in the area. I was at a conference so cannot comment on surrounding area, but had a comfortable stay. My only comment would be they have a spiral staircase, but the owner kindly mentioned this and checked we were okay with stairs before our arrival.
