The former home of South Africa’s first Black president has been turned into a luxury getaway.
After a massive renovation, the Johannesburg property Nelson Mandela reportedly lived in for six years with his family is now the location of a boutique hotel.
Hidden on a quiet street in a wealthy Sandton suburb of Houghton, Sanctuary Mandela recently opened to the public for bed and breakfast accommodations — boasting nine rooms and the 36-seater Insights restaurant with a menu inspired by the anti-apartheid revolutionary, who died in 2013 at 95.
