Keep it simple at this peaceful and centrally-located place. Very private. Less than 10min from most major amenities such as Sandton City, Monte Casino, Major highways to the airport, restaurants and shopping malls. Has DSTV, unlimited wifi, private parking and a great host at your service.
Friendly an welcoming, with keen interest in gardening and travel.
In a boomed area with 24 hours security. Beautiful neighborhood, peaceful and quiet yet in very close proximity to major destinations such as restaurants, shopping malls, nightlife, nature. 7 min from Sandton 10min to Monte Casino and 25min from OR Tambo international airport. Lots of options within a short distance.
