Detailed Reviews
I spent a few days here in November 2023 for my first trip to Jo'burg. B&B on Buckingham is in a safe, lush neighborhood in Craighall, so it's perfect for solo travelers, especially women. The rooms are minimalist, yet well-equipped and cozy, with beautiful views of the city uphill. You don't have to worry about loadshedding because the place runs on solar (huge plus!). Most importantly, Gavin serves great breakfast and is an attentive host. Tip: If you're visiting for the first time, he will have some useful recommendations for you.
I'll definitely be back!

The wifi is always working, the lights are always on, there is always hot water and home made rusks with a cuppa is always an option after a long day. Gavin is very attentive and no special request is ever too much. Love staying here on my monthly trips to Jozi!

he chatted and gave us tips about tours, but he also knew how to respect our space without being invasive at any time.
The breakfast he prepared was always delicious, it couldn't be better.
the room is spotless, clean and delightful, with everything we need.
the property is in a quiet and safe place.

Beyond all expectation. Prompt, courteous and warm reception on arrival by Gavin, the owner and Pamela his assistant. Shown the spacious accommodation set within a charming garden. Louis and Holley, two friendly Dalmatians were part of the welcoming committee! Superb breakfasts were prepared and served each morning by Gavin, a professional chef. It was a joy to discover this haven in the heart of Johannesburg.

I have just returned home from my second 5 day stay at B and B on Buckingham. It did not disappoint, and another good point that i noted is that the labels on the toiletries are legible without spectacles, very helpful when in the shower. Very comfortable, and makes travel so much easier.

The parking was a little limited and difficult, but the excellent service and a consistently good breakfast of note more than made up for that. Internet was a bit slow but that is a bigger problem I think. This establishment is centrally situated in the middle of Joburg, with a well-maintained garden. Well done and thanks to Gavin who makes an excellent host and chef. Loved the visits by Mr and Mrs Dalmation as well

This was a lovely experience!! It is a great place for me to stay to recover from my trip abroad. Gavin was extremely accommodating with my unexpected flight changes (due to the airline) and arriving very late. The room was great!! Loved the space, and everything one needs is provided. The breakfast was delicious, and the enough options were available. It's definitely a place I'd book again in the future!!
