Large 'safari-style' studio flat with thatch ceiling and large, private patio is located amongst the trees in the secure suburb of Craighall. Accessed via a panhandle, it offers a very central and secure location with the street bounded by boomed gates manned 24 hr by private security. With fibre-enabled WiFi, solar back-up lighting, a well-equipped kitchen, lounge with smart TV and a private patio. Separate entrance from the main house via stairs direct from guest's own covered parking. The gardens of the host property have a lush 'tropical' feel about them and boast a large deck overlooking a small creek running through the northern boundary. The deck provides a very peaceful setting (its hard to believe you're in the city) to take your morning coffee and enjoy the prolific riverine bird life - including Green Wood Hoopoes, African black ducks, Speckled Mousebirds, Barbets, Woodpeckers and even a nesting African Sparrow Hawk. A small piece of African paradise in the middle of city...

Widely travelled, outdoor enthusiast ex Zimbabwean, happily married with three 20-something daughters. Lived in Australia and SE Asia for more 20 years but suffered from homesickness and now happily back in Africa.

Craighall is a spacious, heavily treed residential suburb with abundant bird-life, bordered by Delta Park and the Braamfontein spruit. Despite the tranquil, 'country feel' to the area, it is located just 8 minutes drive from the Sandton CBD and some 5kms from Rosebank - both with Gautrain stations. The property is well serviced by UBER typically arriving within 3-5 mins.
