We started our trip being picked up at the airport by Craig who is frequently hired by Sandy at Gecko Ridge to collect her guests. We had arranged everything for our stay with Sandy well before we arrived, including a very nice home cooked dinner with wine upon our arrival. The place is excellent, we stayed in one of the...

Only got to spend a very short night at Gecko Ridge, but we were extremely impressed. Will definitely go back if the opportunity presents itself!

Gecko Ridge was a real gem of a find for my partner and I as we traveled to SA this year for the World Cup. Aside from being in a quiet and easily accessible place in Jo'burg, Sandy's (the owner) service was superb... and we were quite a handful as guests! She came out of her way to help us... More

The place is amazing, the host is very welcoming and the view from the cottage is breathtaking. We had a wonderful stay,one of the best weekends we will ever have. It brought us closer than ever. Thank you for your hospitality.

Sandy, the proprietor, provided us with transportation (both her services and taxi recommendations) during our time in Jo'Burg. She was knowledgeable about restaurants and what to do while in...

The accomodation is spotless, the beds comfortable, and the whole property attractively furnished. The gardens are beautiful, and a peaceful place in which to walk or relax. The hospitality is second to none - Sandy, the owner, arranged our airport transfers,... More

It would be unfair to refer to Gecko ridge as a B&B because everything about this place from your room to lounge eating area to relaxation area outside eminates such a homely feel they you feel...

I had the chance, 2 years in a row, to stay at Gecko Ridge during my work placements (2.5 months each) in Jo'burg... Everything was there to make me feel comfortable and Sandy always added that little touch that transformed Gecko ridge into more than a classical guest house. Beautiful and clean house, friendly personnel, well-equipped rooms...what else to ask... More

I would like to thank Sandy for the wonderful week I've could spent with her. She went out of her way to make sure what my dietary choices where and ensured that I could stick to my special diet for health reasons, which I never experienced with any other accommodation. She is also very safety concious and made me feel... More
