About Joburg South Stays
Who We Are
Joburg South Stays is the most complete directory of guest lodges in Turffontein, Rosettenville, Linmeyer, Kenilworth, La Rochelle, and Bellavista. We help travellers find and compare accommodation quickly, and we give every lodge owner a free, easy way to be seen online.
We currently list 17 free lodges across four areas (with more coming soon). Lodge owners can also upgrade to a Premium listing for R350/month for top placement, rich details, and a direct booking button – but the free listing is always available with no strings attached.
We are a project of Mondisec Web Studios, a South African web development company passionate about local tourism. We don't own any property; we simply connect travellers with lodge owners in a safe, transparent way.
