Sandton is the most important financial and business district in South Africa, and arguably sub-Saharan Africa. It has been such since 1990 when the mass exodus to the northern suburb first began, and Sandton became known not only as a materialistic centre, but as a refuge from Johannesburg’s CBD.
Known as ‘Africa’s richest square mile’, Sandton has headed upward with a barrage of Manhattan-style skyscrapers that function as landmarks throughout Johannesburg, particularly Sandton City’s pyramid-style rooftop. Visit Nelson Mandela Square, various art galleries, or go on a personal walking tour that takes in 29 Sandton landmarks and stops off at various restaurants.
In the heart of Sandton’s business district, is a hub identified as the vibrant, high energy cluster of global trade and thought. This hub, known as the Sandton Central Management District, is this commercial centre of South Africa and is home to three improvement districts, namely the Sandton City and Convention Centre Improvement District (SCMD), the Sandton Business Improvement District (SBID), and the Wierda Valley Management District.
The apartment has two parking bays allowing you the opportunity to rent a car and have secure parking.
Alternatively, to car rental, we offer airport transfers.

Our driver can also be used as your personal reliable taxi driver during your stay - rates, times and venues to be discussed with him directly.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- No Visitors/Parties/Meetings or Events
This is a building policy set out by the body corporate and is for yours and your neighbours’ privacy and security.
Only guests booked are strictly allowed entry into the complex.
Please consider your neighbours and keep the noise level down.

- This is not a serviced apartment.
We offer a complimentary cleaning once a week if your stay is for more than 7 days. Cleaning equipment and appliances such as a broom, mop and washing machine are provided.
The apartment is professionally cleaned between each guest stay. This involves sanitising all kitchen surfaces, mopping and sanitising tiled floors, cleaning bathrooms, changing towels, changing of linen, dusting and polishing of furniture.
However, we are not able to do a deep clean after every check out. We can assure you that the apartment is clean, safe, and sanitised. Stains on couches/curtains/linen may be faint and visible – we do a deep clean and valet of all upholstery items quarterly. Some hard-to-reach places like lights may gather very small dust particles.
Please note, this is a humid and hot city. We close all windows after cleaning before your arrival. Due to this, the apartment may have a slightly musty smell. Please open the window’s and allow for some fresh air to flow on arrival.

- The apartment is self-catering.
To help get you started we provide you with a small quantity of tea, coffee and sugar, as well as some hand soap and shower gel, sunlight liquid and a lined kitchen bin. One new roll of toilet paper per bathroom. We will replenish these once a week if your stay is for longer than 7 days.
- Load shedding (Blackouts occur throughout South Africa at different times and are controlled by Eskom)
You may have electricity, but we may not. This could negatively impact on our response time. The apartment building you are staying at does not provide a generator. We do not provide candles for safety and fire hazard reasons. We recommend you ensure that your mobile/cell phone is charged as much as possible. You may need to use your cell phone torch to see. We sincerely hope load shedding does not last long and we apologise on behalf of South Africa to you for the inconvenience caused.

- Prepaid Electricity
Please ensure you watch your meter level and warn us before you drop to 0. We will top up on your behalf (up to R1000 per month/R500 per two week period) and send you the token to reload. Should you not watch the level, and your electricity runs out – please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will purchase and send you a new token.
Please note that we are unable to assist you with tokens after 9pm. If you do not monitor the levels and the electricity runs out after 9pm – Please purchase a voucher for yourself to reload so that you get electricity back immediately.
You can purchase a R50 voucher (minimum amount). The next morning, we will purchase a R500 voucher for you to ensure levels are correct.
Should you not be able to purchase a voucher for yourself, unfortunately we will only be able to assist the next morning.

- Gas Stove
Your apartment may have a gas stove. If you are using the stove regularly, please check the level of the gas bottle by feeling how heavy/full it feels. We also do this after every check out, but we are unable to monitor your usage and therefore if you are using it, please ensure that you check the level and alert us if you feel that it’s almost empty.

- BBQ/Braai
Should your apartment be equipped with a BBQ/Braai on the balcony. Please note that we do not list this as a utility and therefore we do not clean it or check the gas levels and we don’t know how it operates. Should you wish to use this facility, we will not be held responsible if you burn or injure yourself while using it.
(Please clean it before you use it and clean it after you use it)

It is out of the professional cleaner’s control to ensure the apartment looks brand new/unused and like a sealed bubble. This does not mean the apartment is not cleaned. The apartment furniture has been used as the apartment is not brand new and I do not replace the furniture every time a new guest stays. The professional cleaning company use vanish stain remover and JIK bleach to remove some harder stains – it can leave a faint orange ring mark.

South Africa is a hot and humid country and flying and crawling insects are common We fumigate the apartment quarterly and we can provide you with a can of Doom (Insect Killer). Insects in the apartment is not a sign of uncleanliness. Should there be a problem, please notify us.

We will also try and get security (if possible) to assist you if you are still struggling. Should you require someone to come out and assist you, there may be a 1 hour wait and a call out fee applicable if there is no issue and only a lack of understanding on how to use something. We are confident that you will know how to operate everything in the apartment as everything is simple and standard. Please note that we do not use a call line and the number listed is inactive.
