Peace and quiet await at this lovely property on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Ideally located for Lanseria Airport (great for cheap domestic flights in South Africa) but also close to Sandton and not far from Oliver Tambo Airport. We love the country house feel, the extensive grounds, pool and service. Definitely…
