Art Deco villa with outdoor swimming pool and indigenous garden in Johannesburg

Amenities

Fishbird Art Deco Villa offers an outdoor swimming pool with city views, a sun terrace, and a quiet indigenous garden. The property is powered by solar energy and uses borehole water, providing uninterrupted service during Johannesburg's power cuts and water shortages. Daily housekeeping, 24-hour security, and free private parking are available on site.

Accommodation

The villa has 4 guest rooms, each with a private bathroom and walk-in shower. Rooms feature king-size or queen-size beds, and select units include a private terrace with garden views. The communal areas include a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator and dishwasher, and a living area separate from the bedrooms.

Dining

Breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking Johannesburg, with continental, full English/Irish, and à la carte options. Fresh pastries, juice, and fruits are part of the morning offering. The onsite manager Percy, a qualified cook, prepares the breakfast daily.

Location

The villa is located in Kensington, one of Johannesburg's oldest suburbs, 19 km from O.R. Tambo International Airport. Nearby attractions include Gold Reef City Casino (12 km), the Apartheid Museum, and Johannesburg Stadium (4.5 km). The property is close to Victory Yards and the owner's jewelry store.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

Families can book two adjoining rooms for additional privacy, each with a private bathroom. The outdoor swimming pool, garden, and hammock swings provide children with playing space. The property offers a quiet setting with a fully equipped kitchen for meal preparation.

Highlights

Architecture: Original Art Deco design from Kensington's founding era

Energy: Solar-powered property with borehole water supply

Breakfast: Daily à la carte, continental, and full English/Irish options

Security: 24-hour security with CCTV and security alarm

Staff: Onsite manager Percy, a qualified cook, available 24 hours

“This villa whispers of a bygone era, an Art Deco gem offering a unique, safe haven within the city, complete with an outdoor swimming pool and indigenous garden. The carefully restored space promotes relaxation; I imagine mornings spent with banana bread and coffee, enjoying Joburg's hidden corners. It's a memorable option; a true home away from home.”
