A place unlike any other

Johannesburg,
at a gentler pace.

Behind the garden walls of a character home in Linden, Gooseberry offers a more personal way to experience the city.

Old details have been honoured, new comforts introduced quietly, and every room has been shaped by hand rather than formula. Come for work, a weekend away, or simply a good night’s sleep.

Space to exhale

The garden is part of the stay.

Morning coffee on the patio, an unhurried afternoon beneath the trees, and quiet corners that make the city feel further away than it is.

The signature stay

Room One.

Our most generous room: filled with natural light, opening through three metres of glass to a private balcony in the trees. A king bed, a proper single bed in the bay window and space to truly settle in.

From R2,100 per room, per night.
