Near river, but also near highway. Mixed feelings.
The room was always freezing cold. I was bumped from one room to another after being told the better of the two rooms I stayed in would be available for the duration of my stay. The stay was nice enough, and even went out of their way to assist me. However, this may have been because the accommodations themselves were very much less than desirable. The TV didn't work. The shower regularly ran out of hot water. On one occasion, I was showing when suddenly it went from comfortably warm/hot to freezing cold. So many things went wrong that I didn't even bother to report the matter to management. Oh, did I mention that Internet access was spotty? Regrettably, I wouldn't send my worst enemy to this place. It's my understanding that new management may take over soon. If true, improvements might be in the offing. But, in the meantime, rent at your own risk. It doesn't enjoy the former glory it apparently once had.
Stayed 12 nights in Jul 2017

Serenity at it's best
wow, this was exactly was i was looking for. The place is great if you want to relax and get away from all the hustles of work. Stephanie is just a lovely person, he is great with people and will make your stay a home away from home. I love what he has done with the place, his personal decorations just give the place homely touch. I would go back there tomorrow if i could. We used the executive room, a beautiful room, large bathroom. The river flowing nearby provides the best sound to work up to, with the birds.

There were no surprises - everything was as expected from the website. We only stayed for one night but were able to enjoy much of what the guest house has to offer.

An amazing experience
I booked this Guest House for my boss and on the morning after she sent me a message to say that the Guest House was fantastic and it was a pity that she had to sleep as she would have loved to have had more time there as it is so beautiful. Thanks for this.

A gorgeous, artistic gem by a river in Northern Jo'burg
Twin Waters is absolutely gorgeous. We wished would could have stayed another day to relax in the garden by the river. There are delightful artistic touches wherever you look. Our room was large, comfortable with a big bathroom and kitchenette. The host was helpful and informative - and patient with us even though we arrived later than planned. We didn't have breakfast there but there were many teas/coffees that you could choose from. We would definitely stay here again.

We love Twin Waters!
We had two rooms. The main room was upstairs, which included a kitchen, bathroom and living area. The decorations were so unique, both in our room and outside. We had fresh flowers in our room. The power was out for two nights while we were there due to loadshedding in the area. We were given candles, lanterns and flashlights to use. The owner and his staff were very nice. Beautiful backyard!!

Just what was needed for an extended stay!
It took me a while to find this gem whilst searching for accommodation to carry me over between two business meetings in Johannesburg. Before this stay, I was in an expensive hotel in Sandton. Afterwards in an expensive hotel in Fourways. I have to say that my stay at Twin Waters was a joy -- especially when compared to both hotels. I had the Executive Suite for 17 days and have rarely been more comfortable or felt more at home in 43 years of travelling. A sumptuous room with a comfortable sofa, plenty of channels on the TV and a fully equipped kitchen for a fraction of the price of a hotel! The staff were not intrusive. Tea, coffee, fruit and rusks were laid on at any time of day (or night) and the flower arrangements are to die for! The property has a pool and a very large garden leading down to the Klein Jukskei. Sofas and benches are scattered around so that the outdoors can be enjoyed. I really felt as if I had a home to stay in all day or to come back to after meetings.
