East Lodge

Guesthouses serve a particular role in Randburg's neighbourhood fabric—they provide affordable shelter for families visiting relatives at nearby hospitals, temporary housing for people relocating before they find permanent homes, and a more social option than hotel isolation for longer stays. East Lodge sits within that community context, where the people staying might be dealing with stressful circumstances: a loved one's treatment, a house move, or a job transfer. That reality means guesthouses here often do more than just provide a bed. They become a familiar place where regular guests know the wifi password, where the owner might order dinner delivery if someone's not feeling up to going out, where familiarity starts to ease the disruption of being away from home.
