Family Peace
A
rare find – affordable, stylish, tranquil accommodation in a convenient setting in
Johannesburg no less. Greenpark Manor is a haven of calm within the busy
metropolis of Gauteng. This is achieved by white
walls, a thatched roof, and the setting within a beautiful garden. Located in a
relaxed security village near Montecasino in Fourways, this bed and breakfast
offers elegance at budget rates.
What
I love about Greenpark Manor:
- Lush green garden with tall and wide fever trees and indigenous plants which attract a multitude of birds
- White walls, pitched thatched roof, with high, open ceilings and wooden beams
- Well-configured rooms facing different directions, with glass doors to the garden, with private outdoor seating areas
- Minimalist white décor
- Heaters, electric blankets, fans, big flat-screen TV, fridge and kitchenette
Accommodation
Experience:
This
I did not expect – to be lying in a pool of white percale linen, under a
thatched roof, door wide open to views of tall green trees and the sound of
birds, in Gauteng. I am particularly self-congratulatory because I managed to
find a character stay which impresses the toughest of critics – my family. My
father was stressy about the location and traffic. My mother dislikes
ostentation of any kind and appreciates a good bargain. My partner eschews
frilly, floral, gilded anything. And I of course love character, style and good
linen. All in all a tricky combination, yet at Greenpark Manor there is peace
in the family and we all sink gratefully into the experience of this characterful stay.
