First of all a big thank you to Percy who runs the place. He made a big difference with his genuine smile and excellent recommendations. He really took care of us making us feel like home. The breakfast was great, the beds were as comfy as they can get, location is central, yet peaceful, nothing more to ask for.

PepperTree is a fantastic guest house. I was in the Zebra room which is a very spacious high quality facility. The fitout is top quality, the bed linen is high quality cotton and the whole place is super clean. The breakfast delivered in a hamper style basket each morning at your chosen time is fantastic. And it gets better. Angie the host is simply the best, so helpful, so accommodating and she is supported by the lovely Gloria. Rosebank Mall only 10 mins walk away is huge and with good quality shops and restaurants in the surrounding area PepperTree will definitely be my choice when next visiting Johannesburg.

    The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
