Just one point: the shuttle comes every hour to the airport, be careful not to miss it like me, it is written in small letters the name of the lodge on the vehicle. "


"Very comfortable"

(South Africa) Ann Braine

"I stayed at Emerald Guest House for one night while attending meetings in Joburg. It was very comfortable, well run and surprisingly quiet given its proximity to the airport. Highly recommended.. "

My only regret is that my stay was only one night out of necessity. i have already recommended your establishment to friends both in SA and UK.

Thank you very much, Tina"


"Convenient and good value for money"

(Canada) Arnolda Eloff

"We stayed for a night before an early morning flight.The next day we forgot our tickets in the room,and the very friendly staff went back and returned to the airport with our tickets - our stupidity and their wonderful help!"

"Staff were friendly and the accommodation was fine, in fact excellent value for money. We stayed two nights; one before a trip to the Kruger and one on our return before flying out of JNB. Our extra luggage was stored safely at EGH while we were in the KNP.

One warning though, we had an evening meal in the EGH on our second night and it was a disaster. The food was served cold and even if it had been warm it would have barely been adequate. However, this is no reason not to use this guest house for a stopover between flights at JNB."

"Wonderful pick up and delivery to the airport, cheerful staff, good plain food, and nearness to the airport are the pluses. Nearness to the airport also means that the noise of planes lifting off keeps one awake until about 11 pm or so. The lack of air conditioning and screeens means that heat is a problem, and in opening the windows small things can crawl or fly in. Better in cooler weather than hot weather, but a good value."


"A good stay"

"We found the Emerald Guest House a relaxing and pleasant place to stay. It's proximity to the airport was tremendously convenient. But above all we found Nico and all the staff very friendly and obliging. Staying at Emerald was a great start and finish to our time in South Africa."

"I would highly recommend Emerald Guest House. The facilities are quite nice, and the people are outstanding! I arrived on a very late flight at JNB, and my luggage was lost so I got through Customs almost an hour after the first passengers. How great it was to have my Emerald Guest House driver STILL waiting for me! They were very helpful the next day also, offering a lot of help as I tried to figure out how to get my luggage. I would definitely stay there again."


"The first - the last"

(Belgium) Lode Verdonck

"We began our tour in Emerald Guest House and we ended there. The rooms are nice, breakfast is good and dinner is rather poor. Good quality for the paid price. "


"Good value for the money!"

(Germany) andreas schmidt

"Clean and nice rooms, beautiful place! Friendly people and - I didn«t believe it before: really just 5 minutes from the airport! Guests should notice that there is some noise of all the airplanes, but this is normal if you sleep close to an airport...

Will come back soon!"
