Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Over the past three years, we have often stayed at "Over the Moon" guest house. The hospitality is outstanding, and Christine always makes us feel right at home. We even have 'our room', which is always spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we need. We especially appreciate the attention to detail, from the cosy decor to the little extras that always make our stay so enjoyable. The location is perfect for us. Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and relaxing, yet close to everything. Breakfast is delicious, with a great variety of fresh and tasty options. We highly recommend this very special guest house, and when returning to Johannesburg, "Over the Moon" is where we will stay! Thank you, Christene.

We spend 2 night at this gorgeous guesthouse in July 2023 and had an amazing stay. The views are breathtaking, the accommodation spacious and very well maintained, and the breakfast is perfect. Not to mention the magical garden.
Christine is the perfect hostess that seemingly walks an extra mile to make your wishes come true. She really helped making our short stay in Johannesburg a very memorable one.
This guesthouse is of the highest standard one can imagine and comes highly recommended

My sister and I were welcomed in a friendly and professional manner by Christine who is a wonderful and caring hostess. Rooms were spotless and the fruit on the desk as well as flowers on the bed were a classy touch. The view from the house is spectacular. Breakfasts were 5 star and Christine cooked us a simple but gourmet meal at short notice on our first night there as we were only able to get a rental car the next day. Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Over the Moon has views of the Johannesburg, Rosebank and Sandton skylines which are unparralelled. Christine's attention to detail is evident in every feature of this upmarket location. Comfort and style are inherent in every detail and Christine's personal touch makes you feel truly welcome. The garden is beautiful with sprays of lavender and rose bushes and in the evening the resident owls make for an extra special experience.

The owner Brian was very welcoming and took excellent care of us. We felt like we were guests in their own home. The building and rooms are modern, super clean and comfortable. We needed to adjust some things with our room reservations which he accommodated graciously. They prepared a lovely breakfast for us each day and even served earlier to accommodate our schedule. The location was beautiful with terrific views of the city and large balconies to relax after a long trip. We will certainly be back again.

One of the best views in the area for any guest house or hotel. The owners and staff are wonderful people who make you feel at home and are hands-on with making sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need. They are present throughout the day and accomidate each guest's needs individually. The rooms and entire property are pristine, modern and meticulously kept up. The area is safe and quiet, yet conveniently located. I have stayed here multiple times and will again for any future trips to the city.

The place has an amazing view of the city. The swimming pool is its greatest attraction. It offers a personal experience by sending necessary messages via WhatsApp. It is also happy to accommodate any other special request(s) that the guests may have to ensure that they thoroughly enjoy their stay.

Christine and her team were fantastic, the kindness shown as the trip to Johannesburg was not for a happy reason was much appreciated. Attention to detail and cleanliness were noted and that the room and the view in real life were as on the photographs, was a first for me. And I travel a lot. Highly recommended and certainly a place to return to.

Great guesthouse with an awesome host, Brian. The manager, Charmaine was so helpful during my stay and with the collection of my remote and room keys when I left. Clean and very neat. Spacious room with a huge bathroom and walk-in shower. The most incredible view of Johannesburg - it was an experience to watch a thunderstorm performance on Thursday evening. Enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit again in the future.
