Live it up a Little
Forward thinking and excited about the future of Joburg.
Quality time with family/friends is a priority.

If any of this describes you, come discover the Joburg you didn’t know was accessible, with your own Penthouse, for a few days.
We’re African Penthouses
Cool name, even better addiction!
We’re a husband and wife (and now a baby girl) team, hooked on renovating heritage spaces in the oldest parts of the city and turning them into amazing homes, fit for 21st century living.
We’ve figured out that, providing you with an excitingly different home base, that represents our vision of what living in Joburg city can be like, means you’ll happily choose one of these amazing spaces for a city break.
We’re basically fuelling our renovation addiction by renting out our spaces a few days at time.
We hope you and your crew will “help us, help you” see Joburg in a new light.
Thank You!
