Property information

Sand River Guest House offers all the comfort you need, with more tranquility than you expect, in an idyllic setting on the banks of the Sand River. Settled in a large garden covering over an acre, guests are invited to relax on the patio and take in the sights and sounds of the garden and river. You will find it hard to believe that you are within walking distance of the Rivonia business center. The premium shopping areas of Sandton, Fourways, Woodmead and Morningside are close by while Hyde Park and Rosebank are not too far away.
