With a background of travels around the world, we (Hélène and Xavier) have now settled in Johannesburg and fallen in love with this wonderful country and the hidden gems of this vibrant city. We have discovered this “old lady” villa in 2022 and carefully renovated it. Our wish is to welcome you in this comfortable nest for your leisure or work travels and give you advice and contacts to discover the various faces of Johannesburg and of South Africa. Lovers of art, music, travels, food and wines, we will be happy to share our good addresses for art galleries, restaurants and bars, music venues and recommend trusted guides to discover the city.

This is an heritage villa (pressed ceiling, Oregon pine floor, art deco fittings…) carefully decorated by its French owners. The villa is eco-friendly (solar energy system and borehole water with a high standard filtration system) and offers a safe environment (alarm, CCTV, 24 hours security service). Guests can start their day with a home-cooked breakfasts served by our chef-manager on the terrace weather permitting or indoors in the veranda or in our art deco kitchen.
