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
Mu Africa is a registered tour operator. They also owns a variety of vehicle options to fetch you from the airport or be your daily driver. You can meet any one of their professional , reliable and qualified drivers at the apartment anytime during your stay. They are friendly, reliable and an amazing extra to feel secure and well looked after in Johannesburg.
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 provide a generator although we cannot commit to it being effective 100% for every outage and Load shedding level. 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.

- Unforeseen circumstances
South Africa is a developing economy – from time to time (thankfully not often) you may experience water outages and restrictions as well as problems with the fibre line. All faults are logged, and we rely on municipality to rectify the problem. We hope no outage lasts too long and we will try our best to keep you updated with the progress of the repairs. Unfortunately, any outages are out of our control.
Your property is in a prime location and occasionally you may be inconvenienced by traffic noises, foot noises, construction in the area or road works. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control and is common in any growing city.

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.
Temperature Control: The air conditioning is designed to reduce heat and humidity, not to create icy temperatures.

We do not live at the apartment. We are available between 8am – 10pm on ******** message to help explain how to use/operate anything you may have difficulty using. 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. We promise to respond in under 20 minutes to any ******** message in the inbox sent between 8am – 10pm daily.

Please note, that we are unable to come out and assist you after 6pm.
