We were visiting Jhb for a meeting and just needed a comfortable bed and a safe environment.   These needs were met.
Foxwood House Manor House is being restored.  I think we were the only guests so lacked a bit of atmosphere.   However the staff are very attentive and breakfast good.  

Convenient and suitable for our time in Jhb

The stay was great and the location was nice and relaxing. The only problem i had was that one of the spoons was visibly dirty and seemed unwashed. Aside  from the dirty teaspoons i have no real complaints.

Almost 5 stars

Excellent place to relax while being at a hide-away in Johannesburg. Friendly staff and wonderful atmosphere. Get away from busy city life while only a 5 min drive from Joburg city centre. A wonderful relaxed afternoon in the lounge with a book. And an evening strolling among the tall trees and romantic corners of the awesome garden. This venue in Jozi is a must visit.

BEING AMONG OLD WORLD CHARM IN THE HEART OF JOBURG

Management caused an unnecessary argument with the bride and groom.  It was very unpleasant, an we were only 24 people at the wedding.  The groom asked for the leftover wine (wine that he bought), to take to his room to share with a few friends.  This request did not go well, the manager went off in such a rude way, her behaviour shocked us!  For the rest 10/10

Management caused a commotion at the wedding

I felt very well taken care of by amasing people and a magnificent venue.I will definitely be back 😊🙏

The staff was very kind and accommodating. They went above and beyond in their helpfulness. The setting is beautiful and the rooms are very nice. There's a shopping mall within about a 5 minute walk. Dinner and breakfast were both very tasty. Highly recommend.

Wonderful experience

This is an oasis in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. Prepare to relax and feel as if you are in a hotel that time left behind, a feeling of (if you like) being cast off from society in the peace and quiet of this large house (or small hotel)  until you leave through the gates. Even the neighbourhood has a serenity and friendliness, tranquillity and peace.

I cannot overstate what a contrast this is to the hustle, bustle and frenetic city centre of Johannesburg only a few miles to the south. Foxwood House is situated in a leafy area of the city, with a shopping mall only minutes walk away, where you can eat or buy all manner of goods. The area is very safe and every day we walked the mile or two to Rosebank and the northern stop of the Hop On, Hop Off Bus. Every morning and afternoon we were greeted by the gardeners and security guards that worked in the neighbourhood along our journey.

Foxwood house and our room were just splendid. We stayed in the Pearl Oats Suite, which had a lovely, large balcony where we sat every afternoon. The room had a fridge, a cable television, a good size wardrobe, good wifi and tea & coffee making facilities. The bathroom was large and the water always hot.

The breakfast was cooked to order, tasty and plentiful. The staff were so very friendly and the grounds and house like something from a fairytale. Old, quaint, interesting, meandering, peaceful, beautiful, cool, picturesque and relaxing are words that come to mind.

We were alone when we wanted to be and the staff or owners were there when we needed them. When we left for the airport after spending four nights, we wondered if it would be possible to find anywhere like Foxwood House again. I doubt it. Try it and be prepared to let the place envelop you.

Relax and drift away to another time

Very beautiful venue, old Victorian mansion, now guesthouse with a little theatre.  Sadly Christmas lunch was not up to par but we have been invited back at no cost to apologize for the disappointment.  I appreciate the gesture as this is the way to keep guests coming back.  I have attended a theatre production and it was indeed lovely.  I have not stayed as a guest in their rooms so am unable to comment on that.

Christmas Lunch

A great old colonial home with an interesting history turned into a very nice lodging and restaurant. Excellent service, big rooms, two pools, nice gardens, nice ambience. The only real problem was the week wifi around the whole compound. If you just need wifi for WhatsApp etc, it's fine, but if you need to do some real work on your laptop, it's annoyingly slow. A very cute guard dog a big plus :)
