The Space
The flatlet is compact 35m2 that has been very cleverly appointed and well apportioned. The bedroom has a king-size bed made up of 2 single beds placed together. The bathroom is complete with a bath, shower-into-bath facility, toilet & basin. The sitting area has two armchairs with cushions & blankets for your comfort; a 32-inch flat-screen TV equipped Open View TV (OVHD). There is an additional single bed that can be pulled out of the cupboard if you are a party of 3, but then you must have booked for 3 so we know to provide you linen for this bed. The kitchen area has all you would need with a convection microwave, a two-plate electric stove, kettle, toaster, Nespresso machine, washing machine, large fridge/freezer, and all other bits & bobs you'd expect. It is tiled in the living area and bathroom, contrasted with a softer wood laminate in the bedroom. Kindly note the flatlet is not serviced (i.e., cleaned) daily. The cleaning fee in the booking charges is a one-time charge per booking for cleaning at the end of your stay. Unlimited WiFi. Secure parking.
Guest Access
You have your separate unit with its entrance through the garage. The garage is shared with the main house. Parking is in the garage for 1 vehicle, and off-street, behind the driveway gate, in front of the garage if you have a 2nd vehicle. Any specific needs you may have, please chat with us, and we'll try our best to accommodate you.
Interaction with Guests
If you need us, we live on the property in other accommodation. If you prefer to be left alone, that's also fine by us. Guests may come and go as they need.
Other Things to Note
There are three other units on the property, each with its entrance, privacy, and facilities. No parties. No noise after 9 pm.
The Neighborhood
The Westrand is a beautiful hilly part of the Witwatersrand. From many places, one can see the Magaliesburg, and a short drive takes one out into the country. If you would like some suggestions on attractions to visit during your stay, please feel free to chat with us, and we'll try to help you to plan your activities. One of our lovely restaurants is "The Diner" at 244 Voortrekker Rd, Krugersdorp, excellent food, great decor, vibe, atmosphere, extensive bar, excellent service, for us one of the better spots to visit in the area... it's not all burgers & chips; you'll likely be pleasantly surprised. Check them out on Zomato. Another is "The Rabbit Hole" at 33 Viljoen St, Krugersdorp, for the more quirky experience and pets inside the restaurant! They do pizzas and other meals that have the "home-cooked" vibe... The local enjoyable coffee spot is "Palet" Coffee Shop at the Crouse Art Gallery at 368 Ontdekkers Rd, Roodepoort (looks like nothing from the outside, little treasure inside with its shaded patio, garden & water feature, at least you don't have a view of a parking lot like many other coffee shops in the area). Another favorite is Vernadah Bistro for daytime and The Rabbit Hole for daytime and nighttime. 6.1 km from 1 Robert Broom Drive for those volunteering at that address, 9.3 km from the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens, where the only mating pair of Black Eagles in the Roodepoort area can be found, with their new fledgling... take a look online at "Black Eagle Project Roodekrans" (black eagles) for more information. 5.3 km to Horizon View Shopping Centre where you can find Woolworths, Checkers, Checkers Liquor, PNA, Crazy Store, Nando's, and other takeaway outlets (sushi, fish, pizza, pasta), hairdressers, clothing shops, Vodacom store, etc. 3.6 km from Westgate Shopping Centre with its many varieties of stores, such as Woolworths, Checkers, Game, Food Lover's Market, Dischem, Clicks, Truworths, many other clothing outlets, and many takeaway places/restaurants like KFC, Wimpy, Spur, Ocean Basket, etc. 2.3 km to Princess Cross Shopping Centre where you can find a Pick n Pay Hypermarket, Dischem, Wimpy, Sheet Street, Waltons, Autopage Cellular, a McDonalds nearby, and a Fat Cake City.

Introducing Richard & Shanna. We look forward to being your hosts. We live between Cape Town and Johannesburg, with homes in both cities. We are both regular pioneers, and we volunteer at the Bethel South African Branch as commuters. Our current assignment is on the grounds of helping to care for the gardens. We also volunteer from time to time on LDC builds under the DC50 arrangement. Richard has the added privilege of serving as an elder in our congregation. We are passionate about exploring this wonderful planet earth. Things we enjoy are Music, movies, animals, hiking, the mountains, the ocean, beach sand, and swimming in the salty sea. Coffee and wine, good food, great friends, close family, fine dining, and of course, traveling. Shanna grew up in Cape Town, in the Constantia Winelands. Richard grew up in Rotterdam, Holland, and moved to South Africa in his teenage years. Life mottos: Do not go gentle into that good night. This, too, shall pass. Live and let live. As people, we are a combination of easy-going and accommodating, but we will stand for what is important. We are peaceable persons but warrior fighters for our cause. But what has that got to do with our hosting you? We're not sure, but maybe some of that will resonate with you, and you'll feel more at home with us when you allow us to host you. We have listings in both Johannesburg and Cape Town. Please feel free to enquire.
