John & Hantie Goodey
Just like the Goodey family name was derived from the old English phrase “dweller at the good enclosure”, John & Hantie Goodey of Goodey's Guest House extend a warm welcome to all visitors, tourists, business people and diplomats alike to be a contented dweller in our good enclosure! Come and relax in our completely renovated art deco styled guest house and enjoy our hospitality.
Welcome to Goodey's Guesthouse! Hantie and I bought this property in 2013 and after our children left the proverbial nest, we decided to renovate the whole property into the current 4*. We opened our doors during 2010, just before the FIFA World Cup and have never looked back. Our guests enjoy their stay with us so much that our current rating at this website is an excellent 9.4. We really hope that you, as a prospective guest, will enjoy your experience just as much.
