Relocating to Johannesburg with your familyThe question isn’t whether other people love Johannesburg. It’s whether you could feel at home here.
Let us work that out together. I help you explore schools, find a home and get to know the people and places that could make Johannesburg yours.
Hello, I am Hannah.
I moved here from the UK in 2010, with plenty of questions of my own. Sixteen years later, Johannesburg is home, and I love helping other families get to know it.
We can visit schools together, explore neighbourhoods and stop for coffee along the way. I will help you think through the practical details, and show you some of the things that make living here such a pleasure.

“After three weeks of searching for houses, we lost two and I was emotionally finished. Then I came across Hannah, and what a difference. She showed us two properties that matched our criteria perfectly, talked us through all the security elements and even introduced us to others who had moved into the area.”

There is plenty to look forward to.
A walk in the sunshine, coffee after the school run, a weekend away exploring South Africa. I love helping families find the things they will enjoy here.
