Guests that revisit this "EX-MAFIA Mansion” or “Castle” are amazed by the improvements and quality of accommodation and services offered by the owner and her staff.

BONUS: We offer a FREE PICK UP service from the OR TAMBO International Airport as well as PARK STATION (Main bus and train station), if you and your friends stay with us! We are only 15 minutes from the ORTIA and 10 minutes from Park Station.

South Africa hosted a very successful Soccer World Cup 2010 and we are proud to say that we were part of this world class event for about 6 weeks. Thank you to all our guests from all over the world that stayed with Brown Sugar BP during June and July and made this the best experience ever where we made many new friends! We hope that you return to our beautifull country soon and spread the good word of Brown Sugar Backpackers.
