Four Trees

Running a guesthouse in Randburg means dealing with Johannesburg's power situation head-on. Load shedding doesn't take weekends off, so most places here now run inverters or have backup systems in place to keep guests comfortable through the darker hours. Four Trees operates knowing that their guests are either here for work or leisure, and either way, a sudden power cut at 7 p.m. can derail plans. The practical reality of hospitality in Gauteng involves managing check-ins around traffic patterns, ensuring reliable hot water regardless of what stage we're on, and keeping common areas functioning so guests can work or relax without interruption. It's the unsexy side of hospitality that separates places that keep guests coming back from those that don't.
