About the host

For my day job I work for a New York based NGO that focuses on supporting Financial Inclusion for low income women. This is why I travel so much and have a co-host that meets the guests when they arrive.
My hobby is renovating apartments in the oldest part of Johannesburg. renting them out for holiday makers funds the hobby and gives more people a more authentic experience of Joburg.
It allows me to do some amazingly quirky things (like giant chess sets on the roof) that create the unique experiences that people remember the most.

Why they chose this property
Be it a family trip or a group of friends, a first visit to Africa or a return visit, this apartment is set up to help you 'live it up a little' whilst having quick and easy access to explore the real gems of Johannesburg like the Apartheid museum, Soweto and Constitution Hill.
My aim is to help make it as easy as possible for you to ‘cultivate an authentic experience’ of Jo'burg by connecting you with some of the right drivers, tour guides, restaurants, eating experiences etc. to support your planning and make the most of your time in town, with my apartment as your home base.
Providing a different (some say more authentic) Johannesburg experience to the Northern suburbs, it is also less than 10min Uber ride to Maboneng, Braamfontein, and Newtown, making it perfectly located to experience the city's urban revival and access the coolest parts of Jo'burg, whilst not having to put up with the noise that goes with actually staying in these 'lively' areas.
The apartment is less than 10 minutes walk to the closest Citysightseeing open-top hop-on-hop-off tour bus stop, about 25 minutes drive from Johannesburg airport and 10 minutes away from the Gautrain station, giving direct access to Sandton, Pretoria and the airport.
The layout of the apartment was designed so that the main living spaces would all benefited from easy access to the outdoor space and the amazing city views.

What makes this property unique
The private roof terrace with hot tub, grill and giant chess set, is unique in Joburg.
Quoting a recent guest "This apartment is beautiful and stylish but the real value is the local knowledge and recommendations provided by the hosts. Joburg has so many beautiful places to explore and people to meet and, like any big city, places you don’t want to stumble into blindly. Stay safe while experiencing the best of Joburg by following our up to date recommendations of places to go (and to steer clear of) whilst you’re in town."
Arranging a visit to Johannesburg, especially for a group, takes time a local knowledge. We want to help ease that process.
