The garden cottage proved ideal for my 'retreat' following plastic surgery. Part of the healing process certainly was waking up each morning to the sound of birds singing, the smell of jasmine flowers, and the sun shining. All of this was even more appreciated when arriving back to a wintery cold and grey London. Thanks again to Liz and her 'back-up team' for their wonderful care and consideration. Inga

Our recent four night stay at Liz at Lancaster's guest house was simply marvelous. Liz is the perfect host, providing for your every need. Nothing is overlooked. Her guest house is an ideal get away sanctuary in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Her staff is superb. Catherine and Zach are two very caring people who do their jobs with pride and competency. Like, Liz herself, they go out of their way to provide you the best stay you can imagine. Forget about the 5 star hotels in Johannesburg. Stay at Liz at Lancasters and you won't be sorry.

I visit JHB for business quite often and I opt to stay at Liz's every time because I know that the room is going to be beautiful, clean and well-equipped. I also know that the staff, Zac and Catherine, are going to have their big beautiful smiles on their faces willing to help at every point. And I also know that Liz herself would be as friendly and accomodating as always. I just love staying at Liz's because the rooms are really nice, comfy beds, great linen, beautiful gardens, great staff, wireless, great TV channels and if that's not enough, there's always the small things that add so much. The breakfasts are heavenly. Nothing like fresh fruit to get the appetite going, and then having whatever you choose thereafter. Marlie, the resident doggy, is also a sheer gem.

This was my third trip to South Africa, and to stay with you at Liz at Lancaster and as always it was excellent. Standards continue to be high and your attention to detail is meticulous. Having Zac to drive us around makes such a difference. Thank you and the staff for everything.

I would like to pay my debt of gratitude to you and your staff for hosting me last week. I loved the place, it reminded me so much of home. I would like to pay special tribute to Zac for helping me get around, to Catherine for her dedicated service, the other staff whose names I did not get. In case you are wondering what 'webare munonga' means, it means thank you, in my language.

We absolutely loved your Guest House....the best in the country. I just want to tell you, that your attention to detail is unsurpassed. The art that you display inspired us to purchase art. The tendancy is to overlook beautiful items as they are not well displayed in the stalls and markets. However, seeing items in your home made them shine. Liz, you offer really high quality in several ways. Exceptionally delicious meals in such a gorgeous setting. A website that is clear and detailed. Having our suitcases moved without request. Thank you. Your efforts do not go unnoticed!

I am not surprised to read of the first-rate assessments of other guests. Liz's guest house exceeds all expectations of comfort, cleanliness, environmental care, peace and quiet, privacy and splendid food. Liz and her staff make you feel that you belong there and are more than just an itinerant lodger. I think I will have to marry this worman.

The Very Best Accommodation in Johannesburg South Africa. I have stayed at many Bed & Breakfasts over the past 9 years in Johannesburg. I have never encountered accommodation that even vaguelly compares with Liz at Lancaster for cleanliness, wonderful ambiance, friendly & outstanding service, value for money and conveniently situated. I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending LIZ AT LANCASTER to anyone requiring outstanding accommodation in Johannesburg.

This guesthouse provides luxury beyond expectation for guesthouses. The rooms have all the facilities of a 5-star hotel. And yet Liz and her staff give such a personal service you feel you are a guest in her home. Added to this the gardens are superb and peaceful. A real treat as I had tried often to get a booking. It's well worth while.

Liz at Lancaster is superb!! Such attention to detail. It caters for your every whim. It is so comfortable, spacious and chic. It really is a home away from home. This is the best guesthouse I have ever stayed in in South Africa. They even picked me up from the airport! Looking forward to my next return to Johannesburg, I wont stay anywhere else.

On a scale of one to five stars, Liz at Lancaster should be rated as six stars, because as far as I am concerned, it has everything: great location near Rosebank and Sandton, free wireless internet broadband in your own room, own courtyard in which to have an excellent breakfast at any time, secluded flowered garden, tastefully decorated rooms, individual secure parking places, self-contained cooking facilities, efficient low cost laundry, friendly helpful staff, and shops and restaurants only a 3-minute walk away along a quiet road - I certainly intend to stay there again.

My experiences and time here have gone way beyond what I could have anticipated. I have had company and laughter when needed and time to reflect. This will always be a special place for me and I truly hope to come back one day. The Pilanesberg safari is amazing - a must do Rosebank Mall is great for shopping and spending the day - particularly the Rooftop market on a Sunday Art Africa is fantastic for gifts If you need anything - ask Liz -she appears to be the font of all knowledge, is a great advisor and cares Do some of the `burbs - they have unusual knick-knack shops and a brilliant café culture for people watching.
