African Penthouse Apartment open plan living room, available on Airbnb

We’re African Penthouses

Great 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, made available for you, via Airbnb.

We’ve figured out that, helping you safely navigate your visit to Johannesburg, connecting you with the drivers that’ll take you everywhere you want to go, the tours and activities that’ll open your eyes to the city and the dinning experiences that’ll expose your taste buds to true African cuisine, means you’ll happily choose to stay in one of these amazing spaces.

We’re basically fuelling our renovation addiction by renting out our spaces a few days at time and increasing the likelihood that you’ll choose to stay in one our spaces, by helping you solve some of the common problems visitors to Joburg experience.

We hope you and your crew will “help us, help you”.

Thank You!
