Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Rivonia

The property was simply amazing. The rooms were big each with lovely ensuite bathrooms. It has a well appointed kitchen and a large dining room table that would sit 10 people very comfortably. An added bonus is the dining room table converts to a pool table. The area is extremely quiet away from the hussle and bustle of Johannesburg and superbly situated to get to the various golf courses we were playing as well as some great restaurants. It has all the facilities for entertaining outside including a swimming pool which would be amazing in the summer months, as well as a large garden. The house is kept spotless by housekeeping who came in every day (except Sunday) to clean and make up the rooms. Finally, I cannot say enough about our host Charmaine. Very friendly and responsive throughout the whole process. Thank you Charmaine, you were brilliant and we all thank you for letting us feel so at home!

I had a lovely stay at Lauren's home. As other reviewers have noted, it is such a peaceful, warm place in the middle of the city, with easy uber/car access to everything that you need (I rarely waited more than 2-3 minutes for an uber). The garden area is so peaceful, the home is very well equipped, and Lauren is very responsive and helpful.

One of the nicest places we have stayed in. Tessa is a great host

We spent several weeks at Lisa’s place and loved every moment. Lisa was super communicative and always on hand if we had a question. We liked being situated in Melville which is easily walkable and has lots of unique places to visit, especially the cafes on 7th street, 27 Boxes and morning walks up on the Koppies which are a must if staying in the area. Thanks again Lisa for being a great host, we hope to stay again!

We felt right at home during our stay - the space was warm, beautifully set up, and had everything we needed, including more than enough blankets to keep us cozy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything so seamless from start to finish. Thank you for such a lovely experience - we’d definitely love to return!

It was a pleasure staying at Charmaine’s. The house is spacious, very well equipped and comfortable - a real home away from home. The garden was also a welcome distraction for the kids. I would stay there again with pleasure. Thank you for everything Charmaine and Stefan we were so grateful for the house during a difficult few days. We felt safe and comfortable.

A lovely, large and well equipped house with garden and pool within walking distance of Parkhurst restaurants and shops. A great place to stay if visiting Joburg - felt very comfortable. Hannah was very professional and friendly and we felt very at home.

Wonderful short stay at Ingrids place. Pristine accomodation in beautiful suburb with easy access to transport/e hailing services. Host is super friendly and attended to all my needs.

Jeremy and Janet were absolutely wonderful hosts who welcomed both me and my pup with open arms. They're genuinely lovely people - the kind you could chat with for hours about anything and everything. Their helper Kingsley was fantastic too, always making sure we had everything we needed. The house itself is stunning - gorgeous architecture with beautiful paintings throughout that honestly made me feel like I was staying in some charming European home. The neighborhood felt really safe as well. I parked on the street every day without any worries and enjoyed walking around the area regularly. Overall, this was such a great experience with truly exceptional hosts. I'd recommend Jeremy and Janet to anyone looking for a special place to stay - you won't be disappointed!

A house is not a home, and this beautiful apartment is the perfect example of that sentiment. From the moment I arrived, Lerato’s warm hospitality made it clear that I was not just a guest in a space, but welcomed into a true home away from home. The flat itself is stunning—cozy, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with everything I could possibly need. The peaceful, upmarket neighborhood offered the perfect escape, and yet I was always just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Sandton and Johannesburg’s vibrant city life. What made this experience so memorable, though, was the hosts and staff. Attention to detail, kindness, and dedication to making sure I had everything I needed truly set this place apart. It felt like a place where every guest is not just accommodated, but cared for. It’s rare to feel such a sense of belonging when staying away from home, but I truly did here. I’ve already reserved this amazing home away from home for 2 more stays in 2025.

Firstly the whole place is amazing, so peaceful and clean. The garden is breathtaking!!!! How can I forget to mention the service? The caretaker is super friendly and so helpful. I’d highly recommend this place.

Charming neighborhood/place and helpful host.

Ian is a super helpful host and we have a really pleasant stay here.

Wow what a great place clean and the owner is very helpful on anything

Nicolette is very welcoming and nice. We enjoyed our stay there especially my cat Ayoola. We have booked for longer stay. Strongly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay at Nora's beautiful and cozy cottage. The place was clean and peaceful. Sunday was a delight with her son playing beautiful piano music during his visit. Nora was always available to assist with anything, even providing a storeroom for my extra luggage. I can't wait for my second visit and will definitely return to enjoy this serene spot again!

I stayed in this apartment for a month, and the experience was simply excellent. The place is ideally located, fully equipped, and offers remarkable comfort. The hosts were very welcoming and available throughout my stay. Worth noting: the photos don't do justice to the actual quality of the apartment, it's even better in person! I highly recommend it.

This cottage is an absolutely lovely place to stay. Cosy, well furnished, with a private garden to sit and enjoy some quiet time among the beautiful tree ferns. We only stayed a night on our way transiting through Joburg but found the commute of abt 30 mins to OR Tambo perfectly manageable. very safe within a boom gated community and close to the shops at Four Ways amd Design Quarter. Quality bed linen, a jacuzzi style bath, and lovely welcoming selection of complimentary snacks were much appreciated. Deirdre and her husband welcomed us and made us and showed us around, making us feel instantly at home. we'll definitely be back! Thank you

Absolutely amazing, tranquil place that is centrally situated. Great host, very friendly, helpful and responsive. We will definitely be back. We had a wonderful stay.

Always a pleasure to stay at Henry and Lilian’s apartment. Super clean and so comfortable, lovely place to call home.

Fantastic pace and matched everything we were looking for plus more. The hosts are superb and communicate really well. I am really impressed and I will definitely come back when it’s warmer. Thank you for making our stay pleasant.

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was absolutely beautiful even better than the photos. It truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared, making us feel welcomed and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, and all the amenities we needed were provided. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. Thank you for an amazing experience, we’ll definitely be back!

I had the pleasure of staying at Caryn’s place for two weeks. Everything was as described, the place was spotless thanks to the lovely lady Vicky. It’s close to shops and restaurants. The garden was nice and peaceful. I would definitely recommend this place. Hope to stay there again.

We loved staying here! The host are hospitable and very friendly. They have a bag in the garage, that my husband loved. If I would say the place needs something, it would be a heated blanket. Other than that, the gas heater worked fine in the living room area.
