"Well, its been fine and i enjoyed it. I think its important to just include a can of insect killer as there were a couple of mosquitoes in the room which i had to physically kill.( i am sure this can be attributed to the nice trees and banana plants you have which i actually marvelled at how creatively they were put up).

In the kitchen as well there were come small ants which made a column to our food in the microwave. Put some food and you will see this happening. That insect killer suggested will certainly help.

Personally i have no complains over this but your next visitor surely might present a problem to you over this."

"Margaret's Place is one of the best places I've been to and wouldn't mind at all returning there for a weekend getaway with my fiancée. Margaret was very welcoming and the hospitality was superb, thank you once again. The only issue/ problem we had was with the dogs, we couldn't get to roam around the place and enjoy it to the fullest. I'd prefer it be optional for the guests if dogs are let out or not."

"I was home indeed. Beautiful place , peaceful place, the tranquility. The excellent customer service we received from Margaret, she treated us like her own kids, she was welcoming, it was like we were back home for a vacation, that we had picked up where we had left off. The price was reasonable, she was ready to assist with everything including the directions when we wanted to get around.

I am not a dog person but I fell in love with her beautiful dogs, and birds that make beautiful noises. Nature at its best. To add a cherrie on top was when she offered us movies, over and above the DSTV programmes, she`s got a place full of movies that you can choose from at no extra costs that you can watch if you do not have plans to go out.
The little things she did went a long way."


"Weekend away"

(South Africa) Millicent

"My weekend was best of all in all I have ever had at Margaret's Place. Our unit was clean, fully equipped with everything, I just needed to bring myself and that was it. The hosts are warm and welcoming. I will go there anytime."

A lot more institutions should take note of how things should be done, well done Mags. You will be missed by us four for a long time.

"From the first encounter with Margaret we knew we were on to something good! On our arrival Margaret made us feel at home. Margaret is a wonderful host with heaps of good advice. We stayed in the Khaya and found it to be comfortable, practical and oh so peaceful. Not to mention the well maintained garden. Maybe Margaret should name her place MARGARET'S GARDEN. Margaret's Place is located a mere 16 kilometers from Oliver Thambo International Airport and believe you me it is sooo convenient. Two large shopping malls are approximately 1.8 km from Margaret's Place and a fuel servo and car wash just around the corner. What a delightful place and yes. oh yes, we will be back and that's a fact."

"I had two of my friends visiting Johannesburg from overseas for a few days and I chose Margaret`s Place because of the cost and the location (close to the Airport and Eastgate Shopping Mall), providing easy access to move around Johannesburg.

I must say we were very impressed with our self catering unit. It was well equipped with everything, which made our stay so comfortable. Although it is a guest house, our unit was right at the back and was very private.Our host Margaret went out of her way to make our stay a pleasant experience with her friendliness. I will definitely stay there again and will highly recommend Margaret`s Place to local and overseas visitors. "

"My husband and I booked Margaret's B & B for 2 days and found the establishment to be very warm and cosy. Margaret picked us up from the J'burg airport and drove us to her B & B. On the way Margaret pointed out different sights, gave us information on the weather and showed us different shopping areas should we wish to do any shopping. We had ordered the breakfast but as we were really only staying for the full day Margaret suggested that we might like to have a proper meal in one of the local restaurants, which I thought was a great idea as we really didn't want a breakfast as such. Margaret giving us the option of not having the breakfast I thought was very thoughtful and we took her up on the idea of eating out locally. The room and surroundings of Margaret's is just fantastic, there is a very helpful folder in the room giving all details anyone would need i.e. eating houses, shopping, local places of interests.
We found Margaret to be very friendly and most informative. We would recommend Margaret's B&B most highly.

"Pleasant and affordable"

(Australia) Mr Daniels

"Close enough to the airport. Very friendly hostess, good DVD library. Transfers arranged by hostess allows peace of mind, instead of being at the mercy of the taxi industry. Rates are fairly competitive. "

Didn’t have the chance to meet Margaret, but met her family her husband and her son, which I must say were always there to help us with anything and everything. The staff was just as helpful and always there to take care of us. Wonderful place to stay for serious peace and quiet. Margaret your place is the best I've been to since coming back and forth to South Africa. I do highly recommend it to anyone. High security as well. Very safe gated units. Close enough for shopping and or dining in and around the mall which is approx 1 mile from Margaret's place. Oh one more thing Margaret bent over backwards to accommodate us. Now that's what I call top notch service. Thanks so much Margaret and all involved for your hospitality!"
