When we visit Johannesburg we always stay in this beautiful guest hose with lush garden and the most helpful and friendly hosts. The rooms are very well appointed and there is nothing you can think of that is not available. The rooms can be used as self catering units but there are also very nice restaurants just a couple a minutes away from the guest house. This place is highly recommended for a stay in Johannesburg in a safe urban area.

The Remote Corner was the perfect place for our stay in Joberg. Our little apartment had a bedroom, living room, and well equipped kitchenette.Everything was so comfortable and tasteful - down to the small details such as blankets for snuggling on the couch and wonderful pillows on the bed. The grounds and garden are also beautiful and so peaceful. It's a wonderful place to relax after traveling, touring or business. Helen and her husband are great hosts and serve a delicious breakfast. The B&B is located in the heart of a quiet and secure residential neighborhood. There is a small shopping center with a grocery store and a variety of good restaurants just a 20 minute walk away.

Perfect welcome from Helen and her husband. Peaceful place, impeccably clean. Nothing is missing in the room. The breakfast is extremely generous and delicious, both sweet and savory. The garden is magnificent. The location is quiet and secure. I highly recommend.

I travel a lot for work and stay all over, Remote Corner is one of the best guesthouses I’ve ever stayed it. Beautiful setting, lovely rooms, crisp,clean white linen and perfect breakfast. As it is also a simple self catering service, everything has been thought of. I’d even come here just to relax in the exquisite garden!

Stayed for one night for a work trip. We use this place often for work and it is the first choice. Little touches make it ideal with slippers, bath robe and the first guest house I've been to that gives actual milk and filter coffee!

Truly a hidden gem! I usually stay in a hotel near the university but at the recommendation of a friend, tried the B & B. I am so glad that I did as it is a gorgeous gem of a place. I am not sure what room I stayed in but it had everything one could need including a small kitchenette. I tend to read in the evening and too often have found the bedside lamps to be inadequate but that was not the case here. The bed was so comfortable and warm that it was difficult to get up and go to work. Breakfast, served overlooking the fabulous garden, was delicious every morning. Darryl and Helen were attentive to every detail and I enjoyed getting some gardening and shopping tips. Remote Corner is a peaceful, relaxing, welcoming oasis in a busy city. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

We stayed here for two nights in November and Helen very kindly upgraded us to stay in essentially a whole house for just two people. The place was clean, comfortable and it was like staying in someone's house but with privacy to do as we pleased. I wish we could have stayed longer to make use of the pool. The location was great and it was situated in a nice residential area of J'burg. Helen and her husband were very pleasant and looked after us with tips for what to visit etc.

To get off the overnight flight from London and be transported into this mini-paradise was the most wonderful start to our stay in South Africa ! From the road, you pass into an idyllic and immediately relaxing little world of white cottages, lawns, jacaranda trees, bougainvillea, and swimming pool with the weaver birds noisily building their nests above you. Helen and Daryll are the perfect hosts: warm, ever willing to help and ready to answer all your questions (and we had a lot !) about the country....while serving you a delicious and very full breakfast on their fabulous verandah. The rooms are delightful and full of character - ours even had a mini-kitchen area. I can't recommend it highly enough and we hope to return one day !

Lovely and fully equipped cottage in a leash garden with pool. You wouldn't guess you are in Johannesburg... Very friendly and accommodating hosts. Attention to details and small little things which make the difference...
