Garden Apartment (Flat/Cottage) To Let from August 2010

Fully Furnished and Serviced, To Let from 1 August 2010 at R 7,000 per month all inclusive for two people.

(Note: For two students sharing, each pays half. For a single person the rate is R6550 per month. Add R400 per month if letting through an agent).

This is a Garden Apartment attached to the house at 126 Kelvin Drive, Morningside Manor (opposite Gary Avenue between Rivonia Road and Bowling Ave), Sandton. It can be described as an attached cottage, a self-contained apartment, or a garden flat. Either way, it is bigger than the average one-bedroom Sandton townhouse! The accommodation is close to major taxi routes, the Sunninghill bus route, and the future BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) route. Your rooms would be in the safest and most up-market area of Johannesburg, close to the Rivonia and Woodmead office hubs and just a short drive from the Sandton CBD.

The flat has one large bedroom with en suite bathroom, big fully-equipped kitchen (microwave too!), open-plan split-level lounge and dining room, patio, and covered double carport. It is fully furnished and serviced including laundry. The apartment has its own garden and patio with table, umbrella and four chairs with cushions. There is shared use of the swimming pool (cold at this time of year) and thatched lapa (entertainment area). The property is particularly secure itself, and located in one of the safest parts of Johannesburg.

What’s Included? Everything you need for a long and comfortable stay: Rates, electricity, water, gas, TV with M-Net, SuperSport, and 1 channel DStv, washing and ironing twice a week, daily cleaning on weekdays, bed linen, towels, toilet paper, parking, burglar alarm system and armed response.

Optional Extras: The Apartment has two telephones – there is no connection charge, but outgoing calls are charged at Telkom rates + 50%. Available by arrangement: Breakfasts, dinners, internet access, faxing, scanning and printing facilities. We can provide an extra single bed for tenants who prefer to sleep separately.
