Was unsere Gäste sagen...

Wir sind stolz auf unseren Service, die bequemen Zimmer, das gute Essen und die Gastfreundschaft. Hier lassen wir aber auch unsere Gäste zu Wort kommen!*

"I have had the pleasure of staying with Willy and Jessica since 2006 when I first used their B & B. Willy and Jessica put their customers first. The rooms are individually decorated with theme decors. The home and rooms are exceptionally well maintained with a hands-on management style from Willy and Jessica. The B&B is well located in a quiet suburb and close to most amenities, including a huge shopping mall (Eastgate). For me, the personal touch 24/7 is important with simple things like hot blankets installed. The B&B is run with discipline and guests can be assured of security, peace and quiet. Personally, for me, there is nothing not to like. In all the years staying there, I have yet to have a bad/unpleasant experience." - Barry Camons, 2006 to 2011

"Most welcoming, neat and chic establishment in Gauteng. Willy's Chateau is by far the most chic B&B establishment in Gauteng. Your hosts, Willy and Jessica have thought of everything; from wi-fi (reasonably billed) to a hairdryer located next to a mirror to meet every businesswoman's needs. I have stayed over on numerous occasions and each room has its own appeal - from African flair to the Berlin room, which is so tastefully designed to remind you of that spectacular city! Whether coming to Johannesburg on business or for a holiday - these hosts aim to please and you will not be disappointed." - Sonja B, 2007 to 2011

"Wonderful stay. A small and very friendly, personal and comfortable accommodation! We'd a very nice and clean apartment on the ground, just a few steps from the pool. The people (a three-member family) are very friendly and helpful. The kitchen and the bar are absolutely amazing!" - A. Rolfes, Germany, 2009

"We were well taken care of! Always nice to stay at Willy's Chateau.
