Acorns on 8th \ Accommodation in Parktown North

We're naturally biased, but honestly believe our accommodation is something special - so special in fact, that our apartment, with its peaceful, modern interior, was used as the location for a recent TV commercial for MTN - one of South Africa's major cellular network providers.

Come and spend a night with us, or let us provide you a long-term stay in one of our two comfortable and stylishly furnished self-contained units, each with their own private entrances. We're situated in a secure and relaxed environment, in the tree-lined and sought after up-market suburb of Parktown North - one of the "Parks" in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg.
