About this property

AFRICAN CHIC RETREAT, STYLISH, SPOTLESS & CENTRAL. CLOSE TO AIRPORT

We have solar, so never lose access to the Wi-Fi or lights. The house is located in a beautiful quiet gated neighborhood & is just 13 minutes away from any point in Johannesburg, including the airport. The house and property is huge, giving you all the privacy & quiet you could want.

This beautiful home has just undergone a re-vamp. Wooden floors re-finished, entire house re-painted, brand new kitchen, bathrooms updated, etc. The rooms are huge, use it as a work space (pop-up showroom, etc) or to just escape into a corner and enjoy the quiet. You will wake to the singing of the birds, we have about 14 species visiting everyday. The yard is great for kids to run around in, have a dip in the pool & lunch outdoors in the thatched lapa. Whatever you are looking for, you will probably find it here.

Our domestic helper will clean the house every day as well as wash & iron on request.

There is an office with wifi.

The kitchen is fully equipped. Sheets are cotton or bamboo for a good nights sleep. The veg patch always has something ready to be picked, either veg or herbs, you are welcome to pick from it.

The house is in a secure location & as with most JHB houses, it's surrounded by high walls. We also have security cameras around the outside.
There is a garage for your car.

It's home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Mini Matthews

Host profile image
I have lived in three countries and find I have a restless soul, hence I now live in two continents. I stopped liking hotels years ago and for this reason, I turned this house into the kind of place I would like to stay in when traveling with family or a group of friends.

Why they chose this property

It is beautiful, it is large, it is super clean and it is like an oasis in the city, green and quiet yet so close to everything

What makes this property unique

The house is set on the side of the mountain, so there is another level where there are two apartments. One is where Jenny lives, and the other is where I stay when in town.

It is less than 2 km's away from the beginning of the Hwy system which will take you to any point in JHB in a few minutes
