Our Apartments

Enjoy peace of mind living on the property of a sustainable eco residence. Lock-up and go, fully serviced and furnished, available for medium or long-term rental. 100% off the grid - no need to worry about load shedding or water cuts. 

 

If you love nature and want to enjoy the bush-lodge-feel in the city, our apartments are for you. They are a unique city escape into off the grid, farm-like living, only a stone's throw away from the vibrant neighbourhood of Linden and Cresta Shopping Centre, safely nestled in the boomed-off suburb of Darrenwood. Each chalet is situated, among three other rental cottages, on the property of what once was one of Johannesburg’s earliest farms, surrounded by lush indigenous gardens.

Each cottage is ideal for 1-2 professional adults. Unfortunately we can't accommodate pets due to our own 'farm' animals.
