Refundable deposit required · first to pay is first booked

We prefer that everyone has their own room (unless you're a couple) — working at Bara can be daunting and exhausting, and it affords you the rest, quiet time and reflection you'll need. Please bring your laptop; there are lock-up facilities in each room.

From the guest book

“Comparing my experience to the other students, there's no better accommodation for those going to Baragwanath. Because of Christine and her family I spent less time acclimatising and more time enjoying everything Johannesburg has to offer.”

Vincent Quan · Farnborough, UK

“Truly a home away from home”

You and your family were so hospitable and made me feel very much at home. I'd recommend this house to anyone coming to Jo'burg.

Natasha Ricardo · London, UK

“Warm welcome, great people”

The cosiness of this place makes me feel very much at home. I'll give you a buzz next time I'm in town.

Lucy Cho · Strathfield, Australia

“The time of my life”

A nature reserve 10 minutes away for jogging amongst zebras — but above all, a fantastic host and an incredible house.

Tun Quadratic · Edinburgh, UK

Elephants at Kruger National Park

Weekends: Soweto by bicycle, Kruger by sunrise

Christine arranges Soweto bicycle tours, trips to Kruger and Pilanesberg, farm stays in the Karoo, and onward accommodation in Durban, Cape Town and Nelspruit. We'll help plan trips anywhere in South Africa — so you're not hoodwinked on prices and places.

Pay it forward: surplus funds help those in need — two nurses assisted through their studies, one pupil schooled from first grade to tertiary, many hungry mouths fed.
