This was my second extended stay at The Peech so it was a great opportunity to see whether it has stood the test of time. The answer is a resounding "YES". The owner (much in evidence every day) and the charming, efficient staff ensured that my expectations were met and my fond memories were re-confirmed. This time I stayed for more than a week and never regretted a moment of it. The rooms are very well appointed and surround a lovely, quiet garden; the terrace is an ideal place to sit and work (with free, fast wifi); and the food is excellent. After about three days all the staff make you feel like one of the family (although unlike some family members they are all charming). It is a testament to The Peech that many of the other guests were on even longer stays with executives from Europe and US who call The Peech their "home" staying for weeks on end. Each of them said they found this an ideal base from which to work and to relax - I believe you get access to the health club next door through a gate in the garden wall but I never made it beyond the hospitable little bar!! I also discovered this is a super place to entertain as they effortlessly accommodated a party of 14 for Sunday lunch (even though we had to move hurriedly indoors because of the traditional Johannesburg summer afternoon thunderstorm). If you are going to Joburg don't miss staying at The Peech. I will certainly be back.
