DESCRIPTION:

Established in 2004, this well appointed Guest House is a haven in the busy Sandton Metropolis. It is just a short 5 minute drive from Sandton City. Strathavon Bed & Breakfast is easily accessible via either the M1 motorway, the main link between Johannesburg and Pretoria or the N3 National Highway. OR Tambo International is approximately a half hour drive away.

The wooded suburb of Sandown Estates is a well-established area in Sandton Central. The homes in this sought after area, are set in large quiet gardens, a rare find in this busy city. Lush lawns and exquisitely maintained gardens surround the Guest House. There is a large sparkling pool and sun deck, which the guests have full access to. The communal braai area is available to all the guests who seek to truly dine the “South African way”, by throwing a couple of steaks on an open fire and allowing the aroma to tempt your neighbours.

There are two guest lounges. The Library Lounge is a tranquil retreat after a busy day. There is a well-stocked library and plenty of board games for those quiet lazy afternoons. The TV Guest Lounge is a good spot to curl up in front of the TV and watch a good movie.

Early morning breakfast is served in the dining room. For those who require a “table d houte” evening meal, this can be arranged with your hosts. There is a communal kitchen which all guests have full access to.
