Parkhurst
A rustic hideaway, steps from 4th Avenue
A rustic hideaway in
the heart of Parkhurst
Tucked away, yet only steps from 4th Avenue. This rustic hideaway puts Parkhurst's restaurants, cafés and boutique shops on your doorstep, then gives you a quiet private garden to come home to. Let me show you around.
Mornings start with coffee in the outdoor lounge on the covered veranda. Evenings end at the long table outside, with the garden all around you. Inside, pressed ceilings, dark wooden floors and French doors onto the garden give the house real warmth and character.
The kitchen is made for actual cooking. A gas hob, plenty of white cabinetry and a breakfast counter with bar stools, so someone can pull up a seat and keep the cook company. A wall of bookshelves sits between the lounge and the dining area, and light pours in from every side.
Two bedrooms keep things simple. One has a statement brass bed and tall windows onto the trees. The other has a deep blue feature wall beneath a pressed ceiling. The bathroom has a full bath with a shower over it.
It suits couples, friends travelling together or professionals who want to escape Sandton or Rosebank for somewhere with more soul. Book a weekend away, a few weeks while you look for a longer-term home or a full month while you settle into Joburg. Whatever brings you here, this is your spot to slow down and savour the best of Johannesburg living.
Slow down and savour Joburg
Coffee in the Garden
The outdoor lounge on the covered veranda looks straight onto the garden. Take your first coffee out here and the city feels a long way off, even though 4th Avenue is just around the corner.
Dinner on the Veranda
A long table under cover, surrounded by greenery. Supper for two or a long dinner with friends, this is where the evening happens.
4th Avenue on Foot
Restaurants, cafés and boutique shops a few steps away. My tip: order the egg basket at Nice on 4th. Vicky and Tarryn, the owners, will give you a warm welcome to Joburg.
A Kitchen for Real Cooking
A gas hob, generous counter space and a breakfast bar with stools. Easy to cook a proper meal, even on a short stay.
Character in Every Room
Pressed ceilings, dark wooden floors, a brass bed and shelves full of books. It feels like a home with a story, not a hotel room.

The best of Parkhurst, steps away
Parkhurst is the suburb where neighbours still greet each other in the street. Coffee, dinner and a browse through the shops are all a short walk from your front door.
