Where you’ll be

Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Less than 3 kms away is the popular tourist destination of Braamfontein. It forms part of a cultural arc that includes Newtown, the University of the Witwatersrand, Constitution Hill and the Civic Centre. The Nelson Mandela Bridge is a landmark that connects Braamfontein to the city centre.

Also in the city centre, 10 minutes away from us, is the Maboneng district. A creative take on history, architecture, art and nature. Maboneng is the epicenter of the Joburg inner-city renaissance.
Submerse yourself in a place alive with vibrant culture, entrepreneurial spirit and a strong sense of community. With its beginnings in art, Maboneng has evolved into a collaborative hub of culture, business and lifestyle that entices curiosity, encourages exploration and promotes a sense of urban togetherness. Maboneng is a destination on the eastern side of the city's business district offering retail stores, entertainment venues and restaurants mixed with residential, office and industrial spaces that appeal to a wide variety of people and businesses.

Located in what is arguably one of the most beautiful roads in Johannesburg, the gated area has 24 hour access control and is safe and quiet with no busy traffic. The avenue of jacaranda trees form a leafy canopy. This is a favourite route for fitness fanatics, families and dog walkers, many of whom make use of the Westcliff Stairs. They are situated 500m from the Annex and the views at the top are magnificent.
