Embassy Gardens 17 West Rd South Morningside Sandton Johannesburg Secure 2 Bedroom fully furnished apartment with 24hrs security

Embassy Gardens 17 West Rd South Morningside Sandton Johannesburg Secure 2 Bedroom fully furnished apartment with 24hrs security Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Embassy Gardens 17 West Rd South Morningside Sandton Johannesburg Secure 2 Bedroom fully furnished apartment with 24hrs security (yeah, that’s quite a mouthful of a name), I wasn’t sure what to expect. The building sits right on West Road South in Morningside, which is actually one of those quieter pockets of Sandton that feels more residential than the bustling business district most people think of. You know what struck me first? The security setup – they’re not kidding about that 24-hour thing. There’s proper access control and guards who actually pay attention, which honestly gave me peace of mind from day one.

The apartment itself surprised me in the best way possible. I mean, when you hear “fully furnished,” you usually brace yourself for mismatched furniture and those generic hotel-room vibes, but this place felt more like staying in someone’s actual home. The two bedrooms are genuinely spacious – not those cramped afterthoughts you sometimes get – and the living area has this nice flow that makes it perfect whether you’re working from the dining table or just sprawling out after a long day exploring Johannesburg. What I really appreciated was the kitchen setup; it’s got everything you need if you want to cook (and trust me, after trying the local markets, you’ll want to). The four-star rating feels about right – it’s polished without being stuffy, comfortable without trying too hard.

Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where you can walk to some decent cafes and shops along West Road, but you’re also just a quick drive from Sandton City if you need that mall fix or want to hit up some of the bigger restaurants. I found myself using the apartment as a proper base – the kind of place where you can spread out your stuff, do laundry, and actually live a bit rather than just crash between sightseeing. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet in the evenings, which was perfect for me, though if you’re looking for nightlife right outside your door, you’ll need to venture out a bit. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s dealt with Sandton traffic will appreciate. Overall, it’s one of those places that just works – nothing flashy, but everything you need is there and done well.

Reviews of Embassy Gardens 17 West Rd South Morningside Sandton Johannesburg Secure 2 Bedroom fully furnished apartment with 24hrs security

• Simple, convenient – Omar from South Africa – April 20, 2025 (8/10)

  Convenient.Easily accessible.Clean & good value for money.
  
  What could be improved: Only problem I had. When I arrived,the security guard was not aware of my arrival.
  He kept asking me for “unit number” & after going through all the correspondence & confirmation mails & checking the app, I couldn’t find any confirmation number.
  Went into the app & called the number under “contact property” & it was the wrong number, the person who answered didn’t have any idea what I was talking about.
  Eventually went under “message property” & only then was I informed of my unit number & granted access to the property.
  All that was a 30mins delay & really frustrating.
  Please update correct contact details & in future, please provide unit number upon confirming of booking.
