Dear Sally Thank you for all the interesting things you showed me and organised. I was not expecting to be received so generously and thank you for everything. Hopefully I can give you some of it in Mexico. Best wishes!

Thank you so much for letting us stay at your guesthouse. We really loved staying in one of your rooms, it was home away from home ... so clean, comfortable and peaceful. From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed by your friendly staff member who made sure we had all we needed. We will definitely be coming back to stay there!!!!

Sally Roper is a charming hostess. The accommodation suited us well as did the situation of the guest house in Johannesburg. We enjoyed our stay and will visit there again.

Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. We couldn't have felt more at home. Loved having someone to chat to and make sure we were okay. Great sense of safety in this big scary Joburg!

Very nice, safe and central place in Johannesburg and pleasant neighbourhood and very good value for money. 10 mn by car from Sandton City and Rosebank. Sally (the owner) is a very nice, warm and welcoming person and very interesting to talk to. We felt very well taken care of. If we are back in Joburg, we will definitely go back there!

Sally is one of the most knowledgeable, giving, and hospitable women I know! Her guest house is beautiful and in a great part of town. She became a wonderful friend, and an amazing tour guide. She knows so much about the history of Johannesburg and apartheid. She was able to arrange amazing tours for my friend and me, and had fantastic and reputable connections around the city. Her breakfasts were lovely and we were able to start the day with a wonderful conversation and friendly face. I highly recommend her guest house. Her services go far beyond providing a bed and breakfast, she ensures your stay in Johannesburg is memorable, safe and exciting.

You provided a home away from home in our time of need. Then you went on to spice it up with fascinating stories and gracious hospitality. This has been an idyllic sojourn indeed and we will not forget this. Expect to see us again in the future.

Who has two bathrooms in a one bed apartment? Well my sister and I did, and we enjoyed it! Thank you for your constant concern. It has been a home away from home. We've enjoyed our stay and we sure hope to come again.

We will miss your lovely breakfast, but even more your kindness, help and smiling you. Even though we haven't been here for a long time, we've felt very welcome. It's been easier to deal with our meetings and packed programme when your place felt like home. Thank you for your interest in our film club project. Best - Fanne and Mathilde

We had a rough research trip finding a place to stay in Joburg. Finally Buckingham came to the surface and we are glad. It's been a grand six days. Such wonderful hospitality and very helpful. A wealth of information! We wish you much success and see you next trip.
