Liz At Lancaster Guest House

Very friendly and professional staff, a lovely garden, superb attention to detail in the rooms, and an unpretentious style all make this guesthouse feel both luxurious and homely. Very highly recommended!

Lovely place to stay. Beautiful tastefully decorated clean rooms/flats. Friendly staff. Yummy breakfasts. Attention to detail and great value.

Nicely decorated. Clean and neat. Tea and coffee with rusks in the room which was spacious and comfy. Parking inside the property. Nicely situated.

We had a wonderful 1 month stay with Liz at Lancaster. We stayed in the Yellow Cottage/Suite most of our visit. It is a lovely space for a couple or small family. The bed and bathroom we very large and well appointed. The bed as so very comfortable and the custom made soaps were amazing! The yellow cottage also has a larger private patio with planter garden which we and out child enjoyed every day! There was a fully equipped kitchen, dining table with open plan living room area. Both were every comfortable and had plenty of space for us and our very active 3 year old. While we were off on other adventures Liz allowed us to keep our large bags there. Once returning we stayed in. a lovely studio which was also very well appointed. The Studio worked really well for the 3 of us even though it was a bit smaller than the 1 bedroom cottages. The studio still had and generous and lovely 4 piece bath plenty of storage and closet space. The bed was set back from the living space making it feel roomy and more separate. It also had lovely open plan kitchen, dining area with a proper table, and living area. Of course it also had a large private patio! Which is so lovely when the weather is nice as it often is in Joburg. We were able to play on the patio with our little one and then enjoy a quite drink or late night meal while the little one was sleeping! Best of both world for family travel! We enjoyed the amazing breakfast each morning cooked hot to order. The coffee and teas were always perfect! We also took a tray in our room a couple of mornings which was equally yummy! Liz and her staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and welcome while traveling without little one. Liz even found us a few toys to keep out little one happy at breakfast and to enjoy in our court yard. A few days of the trip it was jsut me and my little one. Liz always checked in to make sure we were doing well. She went above and beyond helping me with my little one when I took ill and picking up some things from the Chemist for me. (I mean really you would never get that level of service or caring at a hotel!!) We enjoyed the grounds playing, sipping, coffee, swimming as well. I loved that the pool was fenced keeping our little one safe. Having the private court yards allowed us to play outside without feeling like we were bothering other guests. The court yard was also lovely for a bit of a date night while having little safe and nearby. The neighborhood is great there are restaurants of all kinds, coffee and play space in walking distance. It is a nice safe area to enjoy a daily walk or run as well. Liz also has so many wonderful recommendations of resturants and activities for all ages and interest. There is a driver on site should you need. Also, uber is very easy to catch. (Especially with the free WiFi offered while staying.) The security makes you feel safe and comfortable without going overboard. As, I mentioned Liz and all of her staff are top noch! One thing I will change on our next visit is packing less!! With the affordable and wonderful full service laundry there is no need to that extra bag of cloths! Also, with the lovely grounds, and so many things to do just a short walk or car ride no need for all those extra a toys and activities for the kids. We plan to go back to Joburg in the coming years and certainly plan to stay with Liz at Lancaster. It is a truly amazing place to stay and you can't be the price with level of service and luxury accommodation! One additional note Liz is a life saver she helped us with so many questions and a couple travel issues that popped up unexpectedly. I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! Know if you prefer a more anonymous visit Lancaster offers that too! Privacy was never a issue and Liz and her staff are happy to make you one of the family or give you privacy and space to enjoy your holiday. Either way they will be there to help you if you need anything. We honestly can't wait to go back for a visit!!

Always a pleasure to visit. Private rooms with mini courtyard and self catering facilities. Superb big beds with most plump duvet. Warm welcome and helpful staff. Very peaceful setting. Highly recommended.

What a lovely BandB. I had a self catering unit which was fantastic. Reasonably priced and super central. Comfortable, pretty and spacious. Lovely host. Pretty garden with a pool. My grandson and I had a lovely stay. Will definitely be back

Home away from home. Default location when in Joburg. Central to everywhere. Rooms well maintained and it's the small attention to detail which makes a big difference. Definitely one of the best in SA
