Getting to Sandton
- We highly recommend the Gautrain: A secure, high speed rail system. Gautrain has a terminal inside OR Tambo International, and will take you to the Sandton Gautrain Station within 15 mins.
- Once arrived at the Sandton Gautrain Station, a 5-min Uber ride will take you to our property. The Uber app will likely ask you to meet your driver accross the Alexander Forbes building - ask Gautrain security to escort you if you are unsure.
- If you will be renting a car, try and stick to Highways only and take the Grayston Drive exit (23) on the M1 to enter Sandton CBD

Local weather
- Our winters are from May to August. Winter in Jozi generally presents sunny, dry days with highs over 20c. Once the sun sets it gets cold quickly into single digits, but not below freezing. Be prepared to 'layer' your clothes, especially if you're out all day a nice winter jacket is a must have for the evenings.
- Our summers are hot and fairly humid (often exceeding day time highs of over 30c), with late afternoon rains almost every day for about 1hr. Keep a light rain coat or an umbrella handy.
