I stayed at Blue Trea recently and was very pleased with the service, the rooms and the genuine kindness of the staff. Simply put why stay in an expensive Sandton hotel when you can get all they offer and more for a fraction of the price? It's on a quiet block which is what I wanted since I was there... More

Stayed at Blu Trea for 5 nights in February, and I wish I could've stayed longer. Location was perfect, a 3 minute walk to the nearest little shopping town which includes a supermarket, pharmacy, bottle shop, restaurants etc, and a short stroll to the other side gets you to cool bars, restaurants and art galleries as well as the Melville...

I really enjoyed Blu Trea. I only stayed here for one night, and it was a relatively brief visit. However, I would highly recommend this guesthouse. The service was professional, and Natasja is an excellent host. The room in which I stayed was well-appointed, classy, and comfortable. For me, the main selling point of this guesthouse is the neighborhood. It... More

Staying at Blu Tree has all the expected home comforts. Natasha hosts a well run operation and her friendliness and good food just adds to the comfort of the bedrooms. Lovely chatting in the mornings next to the dip pool with a good mug of plunge coffee. The shops being a walking distance is a plus. More

This was our first trip to Jo'burg, and Natasja made us feel so welcome! Excellent breakfast, very comfortable beds, and the room (#1) was huge! Natasja had assured us that there'd be plenty of room for our 8-year-old and us, but I didn't expect the full-size sofa & kitchenette! We were especially pleased with all the help & advice Natasja...

My husband and I stayed at Blu Trea for 2 nights this June. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and really felt like a home away from home. The breakfast is simple and satisfying and it includes a cold spread and eggs cooked to order. The location is a safe walking distance to many little restaurants and the Melville Koppies... More

My partner and I stayed at the Blu Trea Annex as part of a tour of South Africa during the World Cup. I can't recommend this place enough. The Annex is a two-bedroom cottage with a comfortable living room with guest-controlled heater and cable TV. Each bedroom has its own dedicated bathroom (ours had a handheld shower but a wonderful,... More

We stayed only for one night with two couples at Blu Trea. Whereas we expected that Johannesburg was not such a relacing city our stay truly was. The neighbourhood is very calm and green. Close to the guesthouse are many nice cafes and restaurants. As we flew back in the evening of our check-out day we left our luggage. We... More
