Very good by

Sharon was very hospitable. We were very anxious about the recent xenophobic attacks but we were made to feel at home.


Enjoyable stay by

We enjoyed our stay at Gecko Hill very much. Sharon was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely not hesitate in recommending this to anyone. The proximity to the shopping centres was very useful.


Very comfortable and spacious! by

The guesthouse had everything we needed within walking distance of a shopping centre; and a comfortable room with DSTV to watch at night. Sharon also went the extra mile with little things: stocking the kitchen with daily items eg. milk; coffee; tea, and offering to wash our clothes. That was a nice touch. Sharon is really friendly and caring to her guests; but also gives people their space.


Convenient and Central by

Good accommodation easily accessible from highway and town with great shops and restaurants in close proximity.
