Nestled in the heart of Rosebank, this studio apartment has contemporary cool written all over it. We love the minimal, modern design – sleek whites, soothing greys – yet pops of burnt orange take inspiration from South Africa's sprawling, sun-kissed landscape. While this pad may be pocket-sized, all the bells and whistles are accounted for. There's Netflix on the TV, so snuggle up in bed after a day spent sightseeing and chill out with your favourite show. The kitchenette makes rustling up light bites a breeze, while the small table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace if you're in town on business. But the real highlight is the communal pool. Perched on a top-level terrace, you'll have an excellent view of Rosebank's leafy treetops as you soak in the crystal-clear waters – with the sun shining and the water feature trickling down, it's the definition of relaxing. When you're in the mood to explore, head to Rosebank Mall for high-end shopping, followed by dinner and drinks at the array of restaurants in The Zone. Keyes Art Mile will be a hit with culture vultures, where you'll find the world-renowned galleries Everard Reed and Goodman. This neighbourhood is known as Johannesburg's business hub, but Sandton is also easily reached if you prefer a change of scenery.
