Great Stay indeed”

I ALWAYS ATTEND AN EVENT (SOWETO MARATHON) IN THE 1ST WEEKEND OF NOVEMBER SINCE 2016, I HAVE STAYED IN THIS ESTABLISHMENT SINCE THEN. NOT ONCE DID THEY DISAPPOINT US, THEY'RE INDEED TOP NOTCH PLACE TO STAY. AS A RESULT, ALL MY RUNNING TEAMMATES I TRAVEL WITH THEY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO STAY WITH ME IN THIS PLACE. LUNGI & PARTNER (OWNERS) ARE INDEED AN AMAIZING TEAM, GREAT HOSTS. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO DO MORE FOR THEIR GUESTS. I'LL DEFINATELY (ALWAYS) RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT.
TO REALISE THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE AS WE WERE STILL ENJOING OUR STAY! IF THERE, I CAN'T REMEMBER AS EVERYTHING IS JUST TOP CLASS.

Wonderful human experience”

Lungi Is a cool and friendly guy. We were very welcome by him and his family. The rooms and toilets were very clean and comfortable. Above all we had a very good time cycling with him. He told us so many things about apartheid! He can also take you with his nice tuktuk. As he said it was an authentic tour!
It was perfect

Great stay”

Lungi and Cynthia took great care of us during our stay. Cynthia cooked us breakfast and lunch. Lungi was a fantastic tourguide. He showed us Soweto, the tour was a personal one as Lungi shared with us his personal view of the historic events in Soweto. Very impressive.
