tony and graham really go out of their way to be possibly the most helpful hosts on the planet. the guest house is so peaceful and relaxing, an entire downstairs is devoted to the guest lounge (our room was simple and small but the general areas more than made up for this) little chocolates lying about to sample, bar fridge,...

I definitely recommend this place for all types of visitors. Graham's tours... More

We just stayed here a couple of nights, but found this place to be very comfortable, relaxing, and secure. Tony is a very gracious host and makes a great breakfast to order. The rooms are clean, and grounds are calming, and the host makes you feel at home.

Graton House is an oasis in quiet but lively neighborhood of Orchards. Love African Art fill the rooms, comfortable beds and a nice big bath tub ( I am huge fan of this feature). Generous breakfasts that are made to order! I enjoyed the garden where I relaxed to the chirp of birds who visit the abundant trees on the... More

This is a one-stop shop for Johannesberg. Tony Sparks (the Ton in Graton) and Graham Carrick (the Gra in Graton) combine to provide not only a beautiful and welcoming B&B, but also a wealth of information on restaurants, sites, history, and cultural and physiological anthropology. And please note: Graham is a licensed guide. He took our group of four on... More

The house is ideally situated in a quiet cul-de-sac but within walking distance of excellent restaurants and cafes. Our hosts, Tony and Graham, went out of their... More
