Parkland estate dreamscape
Life unfolds across a vast parkland estate, where days drift between the rooftop pool and the 300-meter lagoon.
What it’s good at

Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set within the secure Midrand estate, illuminated promenades and championship fairways replace the typical city bustle.
The rooms
Apartment suites feature full kitchens and generous living areas, with private balconies opening onto the piazza or parkland.
The lagoon and baths
Bring a swimsuit.
Beyond the indoor hydro vitality pools, the grounds hold a 300-meter clear-water lagoon and glass-walled padel courts.
The spa
Botanical murals and floral chandeliers hang over treatment suites dedicated to sound therapy and holistic bodywork rituals.
Guild Restaurant
Set across the central piazza, the bistro serves seasonal small plates, fresh sushi, and daily breakfast.
The Bar
Tufted stools line the curved green marble counter, where bartenders shake craft cocktails beside an arched wine display.
At the table
At the Clubhouse, dining tables sit under red brick arches and glowing pendant lights with views across the fairways.
How it began
Opened in 2024, the property marks the first residential collaboration from the acclaimed Saxon hospitality team.
