Company info

Pam and John Amis are awaiting your visit to our Guest House so that we can provide you with a warm and hospitable welcome. We worked for an international mining company for several years, and were fortunate to experience many establishments around the world. This experience combined with a passion for providing an excellent service has resulted in an efficient and cost effective service for all our guests (from many different countries) which we have been providing for eight years. We enjoy helping our guests plan their tourist visits in Johannesburg, Pretoria and surrounding areas; provide details of travel and tourist companies in Johannesburg; provide information on local restaurants; provide transport whenever required; provide facilities for small events and meetings; provide local traffic advice; provide meals such as breakfasts, dinners and braais. Our love of nature is reflected in the garden of the guest house, as well as the décor inside the establishment, with numerous paintings, photographs and books of mountains, birds and animals. We love to tell our guests about our National Parks in South Africa, and the animals and birds that can be seen in the parks.
