    What a beautiful hidden gem in the middle of the city. It has a wonderful garden with a swimming pool. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Everything was pure perfection and on time. The food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely love to go back.

    We could not have chosen a better venue for our special day! This is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding. Not only is the venue absolutely magnificent but the people are truly a pleasure to deal with. They are accomodating in every possible way. The service in the lead up to the wedding was great... both Patricia and Victoria are the nicest people and so professional to deal with. We hired out all the rooms for our guests to stay over and our guests absolutely loved their accomodation. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, so comfortable and cosy and very clean. We shared a lovely breakfast the next morning with some of our guests as well. Victoria is the chef and manager of the venue and I could not say a bad word about her... her service was amazing and her menu and food was incredible..nothing was too much for her no matter what i asked!! Our guests all raved about the food. We had a wedding of 80 people which was quite a big number for the venue and each and every meal was cooked perfectly and they handled the pressure like champions. The bridal room is a show stopper... and the snacks and service on the day I could not fault, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The team and venue is best described as classy and professional in every way! Thank you Patricia, Victoria and the Burkleigh House team for incredible service and excellence, our wedding day was truly perfect!

    Copyright ©️ pictures blackjohannes. Pictures as is and was not edited or manipulated. A perfect venue for a small wedding. Lovely style glass outdoor structure foe reception. The church is open plan with n tent like roof. White wooden benches. For people who loves roses, there are plenty in the garden. It is beautifully kept and immaculate condition. So the rest of the garden. There is a unique "shebeen" structure which add a nice little touch. Enough inside parking for guest. Main bedroom is huge, love bath and mirror and ideal for a bride. The balcony adds a good touch.

    Burkleigh house is stunning. We attended a wedding there and were completely blwon away by the beautiful garden and decor inside and out. It's a gem hidden in Randburg. Glad I could experience the house. I hope I can visit the venue again soon as it's just a wow.

    Burkleigh house is an absolute hidden gem in the heart of Jo'burg. The gardens are absolutely exquisite, and the rooms are spotless, and done in the most exquisite taste. The staff are second-to-none! Friendly, and accommodating beyond your dreams. It's amazing value for money and you definitely will not regret your decision to choose this for your next jo'burg visit, or small celebration.

    Stunning guesthouse! I love the service and the food. Management is outstanding, and to add to that, they have a bakery onsite as well so guests can visit and buy all sorts of cookies and pies. Beautiful manicured garden and swimming pool makes for the ideal relaxation spot and even small intimate weddings. Would definitely recommend staying there and just relax in the serene setting.

    What a beautifully created boutique hotel and wedding venue, I attended a wedding here and was blown away by the venue. The bridal suite was exquisite, as was the conservatory as a venue

    Hi Victoria, We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to you and your team for making our wedding day one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. From the moment we arrived at the venue, we were struck by its beauty and elegance, and we knew that it was the perfect place for us to host our wedding celebration. Your team’s attention to detail and professionalism on the day, itself was truly exceptional. We were particularly grateful for you who went above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of our day was perfect. Your kindness, patience and expertise were invaluable to us, and we cannot thank you enough. The venue itself was stunning and our guests were blown, away by the beauty of the surroundings. The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. Our wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more, and we are so grateful to you and your team for making it all possible. Thank you again for the incredible experience that we will cherish forever. Francois and Tiffany

    Excellent!! I can't express how amazing this stay was. The owners and Gogo are amazing. Thank you for making our stay in Joburg incredible. Such a lovely thoughtful space. The rusks and tea in the room were such a treat!

    We celebrated our small wedding at Burkleigh House two weeks ago. The experience was a mix of highs and lows. The staff, led by Victoria, were exceptional and really went out of their way for us. They ensured that our evening was a memorable one, accommodating our feedback on food and setup, and delivering impeccable service. The food may have been the best wedding food I have ever had! Even our guests complimented the attentive waitstaff. However, Patricia, the owner, was a big source of frustration. During the reception, Patricia directly interfered with the DJ, requesting a reduction in music volume, even when we were well within the venue's set time limits (at 9.30pm!). She did not approach us at all. We only found out after my husband asked the DJ why the volume was so low. She asked some of our guests if they were "paid dancers." She was constantly present behind the bar, where she stared at our guests, making many of them uncomfortable. This didn't seem like friendly oversight but rather like she was keeping an eye on us. We didn't want to create a scene and ruin our night further, so we chose not to speak to her at the time. We did give the venue and our planner feedback during the debrief after. Patricia's actions, her incredible rudeness, and lack of hospitality significantly marred what should have been a joyous occasion, despite the extraordinary efforts of Victoria and her team. It is truly unfortunate. We would give the venue and staff 5 stars if it hadn’t been for the owner’s behaviour and "service".
