Your sanctuary between meetings and moments
Tucked beneath a canopy of trees in the heart of Bryanston, this one-bedroom apartment offers the perfect balance of professionalism and peace. Whether you’re in town for business, remote work, or a quiet getaway, this space is designed to support your rhythm — calm when you need to focus, and warm when it's time to unwind. The interiors reflect a refined simplicity, ideal for professionals or couples seeking comfort, functionality, and effortless style — where every corner carries a sense of rhythm and care. Effortless comfort for the working traveller.
The Space
The open layout invites the morning in, and by evening, soft shadows dance along the walls — warm and familiar. This is the kind of place where time slows.
Brew your coffee in the quiet of dawn and wander out into a neighbourhood where the streets are lined with life — organic markets, indie cafés, quiet parks, and open skies. Evenings call for easy laughter on rooftop bars, shared meals in tucked-away restaurants, and the gentle hum of a suburb that’s both alive and laid-back.
Though it feels like a world apart, Sandton’s heartbeat is just down the road — close enough to stay connected, far enough to feel free. Within the estate, you’ll find spaces that move at your pace — from meditation gardens and co-working corners to leafy walks and playful moments by the pool. Whether you’re here for a few nights or a few seasons, Akaru offers you the grace of stillness and the gift of access.
Perfect for remote work, quiet escapes, or reconnecting with your rhythm — whether you're winding down with a glass of wine or catching up on a series in the cosy lounge, the apartment offers the flexibility of a sophisticated environment with the soul of a sanctuary.
The home features high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully stocked kitchen, secure parking, and gentle design that welcomes you to linger longer.
Come settle where green meets gold. Come stay where city-shapers roam.
