Barefoot Bliss Cabins is situated in a quiet country setting just a short train ride from OR Tambo International Airport. Relax the days away while you adjust to African time and get past your long-haul flight. Barefoot Backpackers Cabins is an ideal base when touring Southern Africa, and the property has a working produce garden with plenty of indigenous plants and birds.
Accommodation is provided in a pine wood cabin and a rondavel with a high thatched roof and a loft. Both are situated in a private location on the two-acre property, offering as much privacy as you need. The bathroom is shared and features a sink, toilet and a shower. Guests also have access to the swimming pool and the large poolside lapa.
We are situated in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood, with excellent security. You can literally walk to the high-speed rail in just 15 minutes and be off to the nightlife in Rosebank or Sandton, or travel quickly to the airport. It is also just 20 minutes to Pretoria and plenty of other places in Johannesburg can also be easily accessed. The Tembisa township can be visited for traditional experiences and we can also provide a shuttle service to local shopping malls and restaurants.
"Please do not book into this place, it does not exist. What you are advertising is not what is offered. It used to be a "destination" now it is not.<div>We are waiting for a refund as we could not spend the night as booked due to lack of facilities and cleanliness and noisy permanent tenants.</div><div><br /></div>"
"Nice and private place, came as a group of ladies for a weekend. Very basic but staff great."
"I was impressed by the warm hospitality of our hosts, the comfortable cabin, facilities and the natural surroundings. At the end of my stay, I was relaxed and inspired to add this cabin as my first place of choice to stay at reasonable rates and good company."
"Comfy, quick, accessible accomodation"
"From the farm to the farm, and this in the middle of Gauteng. What a wonderful stay for us and a special thanks to your wonderful, friendly and beautiful hostess. We will visit again!"
"I stayed at Barefoot Backpackers for 3 nights. Stayed in Honey spot. Room was clean but didn't realized the room was in the main house, think they need to add photos of those rooms for no confusion."
"I really enjoyed the quietness of the place. Amazing room, the smell of the woods. Thank you so much."
"Environment was great. Poor lighting in the dark along the pathways. Beds were great. Our bathroom had no roof and no window panes - even for a backpacker this is unacceptable for that price. The host was friendly and accommodating. Would I stay there again? Not sure."
"I greatly enjoyed myself at the barefoot backpackers cabins, I needed a break from the world for the weekend, the peace I got the, priceless and Steve he such a good host, he made me feel at home."
"It was very peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely go back."
"Stayed in the Rondavel with family of 5. Very nice place to start a vacation in South Africa, but less suitable for a family in wintertime: no inside dining/sitting area, only 1 shower/toilet for all guests.Great garden though, kids enjoyed the climbing tree, playhouse and playground!"
"It was an amazing experience, very friendly host, Mathew is great, he made an awesome super and amazing breakfast for a very good rate, loved it and will go again."
"Mathew the host was amazing, very welcoming, a lot of privacy, he made super and breakfast and it was divine, very affordable, will definitely go again. Thank you."
"Awesome place- great pool, braai area and beautiful garden. Bathroom facilities a problem though. Only one toilet inside the only shower: very uncomfortable at times! They are building more, though, so as soon as they're done, it would be really fantastic."
"I stayed at Barefoot Backpackers for one night, I was alone and looking for the most inexpensive place to stay in the area. It was perfect for my needs, and Matt was super helpful. I had to leave early, and he picked up breakfast for me for a minimal fee. If you're for a comfortable bed on the cheap, this is it!"

"Barefoot backpackers was amazing, being in joburg but feel the freshness and waking up with birds singing around you. The hosts are amazing, friendly and always happy to help with anything. I really enjoyed my stay at barefoot backpackers."
"What a place, I had a wonderful stay at Barefoot. A peaceful place where you can communicate with your inner man without any disturbances - only the sound of birds. I enjoyed the place and will hopefully be a regular visitor."
"We stayed at Barefoot Backpackers for a weekend, from Friday to Sunday. The place is quiet, comfortable and warm. We cannot compliment this place enough, it is really amazing. It was the perfect location and the price was unbelievably reasonable, we got much more than we paid for. We had a fantastic stay, it was lovely. We were able to use the time to really relax and plan for the year. We stayed in the Bird's Nest - a spacious, cosy pinewood cabin which was equipped with pretty much everything we needed. The furniture was in top-notch condition and everything was clean. The cabin was like a home for us and we instantly fell in love with the place. We are planning to go back sometime. The swimming pool and poolside lapa were amazing. The trees, garden and abundance of birds made everything special. We woke up to the sound of birds each morning. Matthew, the owner couldn't do enough for us. He went out of his way to make our stay extra special and memorable. Matthew and Lindiwe were gracious hosts, very helpful during our visit and they did everything possible to make sure we had a pleasant visit. Barefoot is the quietest, cleanest and coolest place in Johannesburg - it is just the best. Highly recommended!"
"Has far more to offer than what I expected. Peaceful with friendly hosts. Woke up every morning to the beautiful sounds of the birds."
"I had good stay at Barefoot Backpackers. I was in a city yet I did not feel that I was in a city. They have a beautiful garden. The service was great and will be definitely returning again. It is value for money."
"I spent an amazing two days at Barefoot Backpackers with two friends. We absolutely loved the peaceful atmosphere. The area is spectacular with the best facilities to have a braai and just relax. I have never been so sad to leave a place and truly can't wait to spend a few more days there on my next holiday. Matt, the owner, is delightful and a wonderful person that really makes you feel so welcome. Thank you so much for letting us experience this tranquil and peaceful area with the most beautiful garden and making this a home for us. I only wish I could have had more time there. Will be back soon though. A dream place for relaxation and unwinding."
"A very pleasant retreat surrounded with verdure. We were woken in the mornings by birdsong - awesome! An excellent place conducive to regain your powers and you don't have to leave Gauteng. I will return!"
