My stay at Fishbird Art Deco Villa was absolutely lovely. Percy and Xavier are fantastic hosts who truly looked after us—we always felt safe and cared for. Every morning, Percy prepared the most delicious breakfasts with special touches and great attention to detail. He is an excellent chef, and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts on the terrace. As for the villa itself, it is exquisitely decorated, with beautiful wooden floors, stunning period light switches, and elegant lighting. It feels like a true piece of Johannesburg’s architectural history. The house has a warm, sunny atmosphere, beautiful vast views to the north, and a lovely big swimming pool. When I visit that side of town again, I would absolutely book Fishbird Villa without hesitation. Thank you, Xavier & Percy, for such a special experience!

It's a very quiet and comfortable location that really felt more like a home than just a hotel. The staff was super helpful and kind, going out of their way to help when my phone died on day two. I would totally visit again
