Northcliff Manor Guest House

 
 

Description

We invite you to one of the earliest homes built in 1937 against the Northcliff hill – in the heart of Egoli – The City of Gold.

On arrival you will be overwhelmed by wonderment, calm and beauty as result of the architecture, luxurious accommodation and lush landscape. One of Johannesburg’s oldest up market suburbs, leafy Northcliff, lies north west of the city’s CBD, its cliff a landmark on the otherwise predominantly flat skyline of the city. Northcliff’s large homes lie on steep inclines that wind their way up the cliff, the views superlative, and the tree-lined streets of a different nature to many of the other suburbs in Johannesburg that function mainly on grid systems. This unique, historical and architectural gem of Northcliff has been restored with passion, respect and the comfort of guests in mind. Some of the performing arts fantasy has flowed over into the ambiance of The Manor, as Johnny and Ilse van der Merwe have been award winning designers and manufacturers of Stage, Film and TV décor sets since the beginning of the South African Television Industry – including classics such as Pumpkin Patch to Idols, 7 De Laan and Who wants to be a Millionaire, to name a few. Ilse is an artist. She graduated at the Michaelis School of Fine Art  (U.C.T) with distinction in painting and was the top Matric Art Scholar in the Cape Province. Her mother, Venus Gobregts, is also a widely acclaimed artist. Her exquisitely crafted paintings, filled with glorious colour, pomegranates, poppies, figs and other luscious symbols are a delight and inspiration for all to behold. Please view the art works in The Manor and Johnny’s fine collection of European Antiques and Yellow- and Stinkwood Africana Furniture - from the four-poster beds and armoires to a collection of Victorian Glass and Italian Spode.

One-night stay

Northcliff Manor Guest House was stunning.
Jewel of a place
Graham Davy, United Kingdom
08 August 2011
This is well above your average B&B. It is a house full of rich opulent character due to the creative skills of the owner, which makes it an unusual place to be. It also is in a great location in the Northcliff area and it has prominence on the side of a hill with views out over the city. It is not near the centre, however it is worth the extra distance for such a special place.
Wonderful stay.

The hosts are very welcoming and the house is gorgeous. Breakfast is delicious and both Johnny and Ilse go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
