Unfortunately we paid for the accommodation up front and could not cancel the booking, without loosing the R10 200.00 we paid for 11 days.

Having travelled many placed around Southern Africa, we can confidently say that Guesthouse Gucina is one of our favourites.||||It is situated in a quiet, green suburb that is conveniently close to all major business locations & shopping centers. The bush and lion park is only 1/2 hr drive and close to both airports.||||The owner was absolutely superb, helping us beyond all our needs, doing her best to make you feel at relaxed and at home.||||The accommodation is very friendly, comfortable, private & the rooms were simply stunning, clean and large enough to feel yourself, perfect for even for a long stay.||||We would like to mention that every detail and every corner of the interiors and exteriors is built with love and perfection to a unique African lodge & Italian theme. ||||The garden is absolutely beautiful. It looks like a tropical oasis laced with palm tress and a large relaxing pool & thatched braaing area.|||| It feels like you're on holiday, even when you are staying for business. ||||Recommended to everyone, we had an amazing & welcoming experience!||Thank-you...
