Remote Corner B&B is a highly recommended B&B with self catering option, providing accommodation in Parkview for anyone visiting the Johannesburg region.
Remote Corner is a family owned and run establishment tucked away in a gorgeous garden setting, offering Bed & Breakfast or self-catering accommodation in Parkview. It is just minutes from downtown Johannesburg, Braamfontein, Parktown and Rosebank.
Guests are constantly amazed by the garden, the birdlife, the tranquility and the welcoming friendly staff. If you prefer a relaxed, friendly environment, where children are welcome, but a weary business traveler is equally at home, then Remote Corner is that secret country place in the city.
The Accommodation offered at Remote Corner consists of six individual units / cottage, that each offer their own particular charm and character. Most are offered on a self-catering basis with optional breakfast, and one unit is bed & breakfast only.

Parkview is a sought after, upmarket, original Johannesburg suburb with a village feel. The Sunday Times newspaper recently voted Parkview as one of the best, if not the best suburb in South Africa. This survey was based on the amenities the suburb has: namely good schools, parks, shops, sports facilities, places of worship, library, police station, post office and quality of living.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Stayed for four nights. Our initial contact with Helen was prompt and helpful and this continued throughout our stay. We were made to feel very welcome and they were very helpful with any information needed. The cottage we stayed in was clean, larger than we originally envisaged and ideal for our purposes. The location was vey central to where we needed to be. Overall a great place and good value for money.
