Perfect place for us.”
We stayed at Airport Modjadji Guest House on a Saturday night before driving to Kruger NP the next morning. The hosts were very friendly and greeted us with a glass of juice on arrival. They were also very knowledgable about Kruger NP and the various camps where we had reservations. They helped us choose between driving routes from Johannesburg. We had to get on the road very early in the morning, so they got up especially early on a Sunday and sent us off with a hot breakfast. Our room was great -- since they had space, they upgraded us to a nicer accommodation than we had reserved. The location near the airport was a deciding factor in choosing the Airport Modjadji Guest House. We did not hear airplane traffic as other reviewers had stated. (Even so, if you book accommodations near an airport, you should not complain about airport traffic. Come on people!) This accommodation was an excellent value and we felt very safe and taken care of. I would definitely stay there again, and also recommend it to others.

Always a pleasure hosting you Deon Botha
Extremely helpful and kind hosts/owners.”
The owners of Modjadji Guest House were extremely kind and very helpful. They helped us arrange a tour a Soweto, transported us when needed to the airport, and did everything they could to make sure our stay was comfortable. The house was in a very safe neighborhood with some restaurants and stores within walking distance. Very comfortable beds with nice linens, excellent bathrooms. Would definitely recommend it to everyone...excellent value.

Incredible experience, impeccable accommodations!”
Nothing short of perfection. The owners are so sweet and thoughtful you will feel at home immediately!! The breakfast was delicious, and I slept like a log in a bed that you won't want to leave. The communal atmosphere makes this place perfect for solo travelers, and couples, while kids will love the fun animals (I did too). I would return to Johannesburg in the future just to visit these folks, they really went above and beyond to welcome me and make me more comfortable than I've ever been while away from home. Because of the dodgy taxis at the airport, their free airport transfer is SO helpful. I've frequently had issues with Wifi while traveling, but here the Internet is complimentary and very fast. I wish I could have stayed for more nights!

Had a very pleasant stay here! The hosts were very friendly, room was wonderful, and the food was delicious (and portions large enough to feed a small elephant!). There is some airport noise, but it largely drops off at night. As to be expected for a 10 min drive from the airport. Perfect for a short overnight stop in Johannesburg.

Convenient but noisy, Lovely owners”
This guesthouse is run by a lovely couple who are eager to please and provide excellent service. Conveniently located next to the airport and the owner will drive guests for a small fee (unlike other hotels who advertise that they have a shuttle but then charge it quite high). Nice bedroom within the house, with nice bedding. The whole place is a bit run down but the major issue for us were the planes flying directly above the house. They stopped after 10pm but then started again at 5.30am. Difficult to get a good nights sleep with the jet engines flying directly above your head. Nothing that the owners can do about it though. Too bad, because if it wasn't for the planes, for the money you pay, it would be a great place to stay for a night before or after your flight. Oh, wifi was not available in the room as it was a bit far from the router. The owner said he will fix this soon. Outside cottage with thatched roof is cosier but noise from the planes is even louder. Rooms closer to dining area have wifi. The ones farther away do not.

Airport Modjadji Guest House”
This was a really great guest house, very close to the airport and the staff were just lovely. The breakfast provided was ample and to a very high standard considering the low cost of the rooms. Everything was very pleasant.

As jet-lagged travelers, we were so glad to be picked up at the airport, welcomed and well fed! The guest house is close to the airport, but very quiet at night.

Not what we expected, would not stay again”
We ended up waiting some time before we were able to make contact to get in gate. B&B is residential, call box by gate, but no answer. Finally made telephone call with local cell phone (ours didn't work here) to get results. Our attendant came from another location to open gate and greet/register us. Rooms are very small( about 2 ft on all three sides of our double bed), but very nice. Do not use the provided photos to make your decision. Would suggest a welcome sheet be given providing list of amenities, as we went out for food (attendant recommended and drew map). We didn't know there was a bar available. As name indicates (Airport) the takeoff of jets was very loud as we watched them overhead while sitting outside (impossible to talk as they fly over). There must be an agreement with airport to stop flying over residential, as all aircraft noise finally quit about 10:00 PM and didn't start again until about 7:00 AM. Website shows a pool (which was very dirty) bar (which was closed), dining area (appeared closed) cute dog on a chair (extremely dirty and untrimmed). Parking is within the secure grounds, basically on what might have been the front lawn, now dirt. Residential area is close to businesses, so getting liquor, food, fuel, etc is quite easy. We had a microwave, hot water pot and frig (not plugged in so wasn't ready to keep food or drink cold when we came) along with a small desk. TV is hard to figure out, as it had a main power button that had to be turned on before remote worked. Since the owners(never saw or met, although two cars are in the driveway) know we are coming, surprised that nothing was done in preparation. Examples, frig not plugged in, pool unfit to swim. For the price, not bad, but lots of room for improvements if they want to be a place we would stay again.

Fair impression of Johannesburg in 24 hours”
Deon and Marida were most welcoming; we were picked up from (and taken back to) the airport by Deon, who also took us to the Apartheid Museum and gave us an introductory tour of 'Jozi' whilst keeping us entertained and informed with his local knowledge. The house was interesting and quirky, a real home with a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. We did not have time for breakfast in the morning, but were offered hot drinks and the use of kitchen facilities at all times

Amazing guest house. Family oriented”
I booked for the first time in this place on 9/12/12 for 3 nights and when I was disappointed by another place two weeks after I had no hesitation to ring up again for the same place. Why? Because of the warm welcome, the comfort,service me and my nephew received was excellent. The cottage we occupied was amazing, I wish I had more time to stay longer. Definitely on my priority list for my next visit to Johannesburg

Family run guesthouse in quiet neighboorhood”
Coming from the airport you will need a taxi driver with a GPS and input the adress. It is a residential area and the guesthouse has no outside markings proclaiming it to be a guesthouse, so it is very disreeet. A lovely and very helpfull Afrikkaansefamily runs the place. They showed us theway to the mall, and after lucnh gave us a lift back from the mall to the guesthouse. They also brought us back to the airport the next morning. Breakfast was included and more then adequate. They also have a lovely swimming pool wich is really nice to kick back and relax for an afternoon. The only minus is that the place is not soundproofed for the overflying airplanes. Fortunately airport traffic dies down after 11pm and does't seem to start before 7 am.

The place of peace and warmth ”
They attended to me ASAP wth friendliness,everything I needed to know was promptly explained....nice and peaceful, just feel there should atleast be a sign or board with the name so that guests can recognise the place much easily.. otherwise I'm happy I could definitely stay there again,a simple standard comfortable peaceful environment

Kind and attentive care from a gentler time.”
The staff was very friendly collecting me at the airport taking me to my room, shuttling me to a charming seafood restaurant and collecting me after a lovely meal. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was a homemade classic: bacon and eggs with fresh-brewed coffee and warm milk. I will return on my next layover in Joho.

Fanstatic owners”
The owners are the most friendly and helpful people. They really make you feel at home and are willing to help you to arrange anything from transfer to the airport to booking local tours of Joberg. They are lovely to be around and I would highly recomment this property.
