Discover a Hidden Gem hard to find, an ‘Art’ Guesthouse with the feel of a ‘home away from home’. Hidden Gem is managed by Riaan and Tanja van Biljon who are proudly South African and have a passion for hosting and making people feel at home by adding a special touch. This unique guest house can be described as a quaint, cozy and exceptional guest house which is a hidden treasure to be discovered. The interior is decorated by tasteful furniture and complimented by a display of South African artist Tanja van Biljon’s art works who embraces South Africa’s diverse nature. Hidden Gem is a rare find and adds a special flavor to the surrounding community. Ideal for business travelers who want peace and quite after a hard day and who appreciate breakfast served with a personal touch.
We enjoy meeting new people and make them feel comfortable and at home and assist wherever we can to make their stay memorable. My interests are the finer things in life God gave us: Art, history, culture, travel, beautiful music, cooking and exploring new cuisines. Meeting interesting people on our journey along the way, sharing and listening to stories and discussing life. My amazing family and friends and making new friends.
Our neighborhood has an interesting 'Gold Rush' history that can be shared with guests. We have the Victorian/Germiston lake a few kilometers away where you can have a delicious meal at the Victorian boat club where the locals love to hang out and Hidden Gem Guests can receive 10% discount by prior arrangement. The Rand Airport 2 kilometers away has a vibrant restaurant with delicious food overlooking a national airfield. We are situated very central for your convenience, a 15 min drive away from Oliver Thambo Airport the R24 towards Kempton Park. Virgin Active gym is reachable in walking distance a few blocks down the road. We are located close to the M2 highway a 15 min drive into Johannesburg, with a lot of interesting 'urban vibe' and innovative trendy developments to go and visit like 'Maboneng' as well as the 'Victorian Yard'. 'Gold Reef City' as well as the 'Apartheid museum' is a 20 min drive away. Parkhurst, popular with Johannesburg's residents for its street life and sidewalk cafes, with an atmosphere similar to Greenside and Melville is also an exiting place to visit. Parkhurst is most famous for its 4th Avenue.
