If there's one thing you want in a guest house near the airport it's a good night of sleep. Unfortunately, I didn't get it here. Between not having bed nets (I was woken up early hour by mosquitoes), the rooms being located right next to the parking lot, and noisy guards discourteously talking outside my door, I was disappointed in...

We stayed here for 2 nights. The location is great and room size is adequate but the facility isn't very well maintained. The first room we were allotted had a broken bathroom door and it took a while to get an alternate room. Parking facility is safe and available right in front of the rooms. Food is good and the...

Get to the guest house, it looks real pretty from the outside but inside it is another story. The staff are loud and just plain... More

The hotels near Jo'berg airport are all expensive for the traveller on a budget, so we were pleased to find Dove's Nest. It's key selling point is the free shuttle to drop you off and pick you up - we stayed here twice (before and after a trip to Madagascar) and everything went smoothly both times. The room itself was... More

Pros: - Complementary shuttle to and from the airport. - Free Internet available in lobby. They even let me print out boarding pass for free. Cons: - You might find yourself in the auxiliary area across the street, which feels a little less secure. - Baggage storage completely unsecure. - Lots of little things wrong with room: patio light didn't...
