Pam and John Amis are eagerly awaiting your visit to “125 on Van Buuren Road Guest House” in order to provide you with a warm and hospitable welcome to our establishment. We worked for an international mining company for several years and were fortunate enough to experience many professional hospitality establishments around the world. This experience combined with a passion for providing an excellent service has helped us to provide a homely and affordable service for all our guests. We have personally welcomed all our international guests on arrival from many different countries over a period of eight years. We enjoy assisting visitors with information and transportation. For tourists, we enjoy helping our guests plan their tourist visits in Johannesburg, Pretoria and surrounding areas; providing details of travel and tourist companies in Johannesburg; providing information on local restaurants; providing transport whenever required; providing facilities for small events and meetings; providing local traffic advice; providing meals such as breakfasts, dinners and barbeques; providing knowledge and our experiences of Johannesburg and South Africa. For businessmen, we are always excited to share our knowledge of the different companies and industrial sectors in the Johannesburg area. Our love of nature is reflected in the manicured garden of the guest house, which produces flowers during the whole year. The décor inside the establishment includes photographs taken by myself, as well as professional pictures of mountains, birds and animals. We love to tell our guests about our numerous National and Private Parks in South Africa, and the animals and birds that can be seen in the parks, from the Kruger National Park in the east of the country to Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town.
