Remote Corner B&B \ Accommodation in Parkview

Remote Corner Bed and Breakfast is a family owned and run establishment tucked away in a gorgeous garden setting in Parkview. It is just minutes from downtown Johannesburg, Braamfontein, Parktown and Rosebank. The most frequently heard guests’ comment is; we had no idea that one could find a place like this in Johannesburg.

Guests are constantly amazed by the garden, the birdlife, the tranquility and the welcoming friendly staff. If you prefer a relaxed, friendly environment, where children are welcome, but a weary business traveler is equally at home, then Remote Corner is that secret country place in the city.

Our rates are excellent value for money. We understand that times are tough and also understand that some guests may be on a tighter budget, we therefore also offer a small, quaint budget room for those guests who require a reasonable rate in a safe, sought after area. Our rooms are charming, tasteful, clean and uncluttered, and all open onto the garden.
