OAM The View Morningside

OAM The View Morningside Overview

You know what struck me first about OAM The View Morningside? It’s actually tucked away on Michelle Street in a way that feels surprisingly quiet for being so close to all the Sandton action. I mean, you’re literally in Morningside but it doesn’t have that chaotic energy you’d expect – there’s this calm residential vibe that honestly made me do a double-take when I first pulled up.

The whole setup is interesting because it’s essentially a serviced apartment situation, which I didn’t fully grasp until I got there. Unit 65 sits in this modern complex that – and here’s the thing locals know – gives you that perfect sweet spot between being close enough to walk to Sandton City when you feel like it, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the constant hum of traffic. The four-star rating makes sense when you see the space; it’s got that clean, contemporary feel without trying too hard to be fancy. The apartments are genuinely spacious, which is refreshing after staying in cramped hotel rooms elsewhere in Johannesburg.

What I really appreciated was how the place caters to people who actually need to function while they’re there – decent wifi, a proper kitchen setup, and workspace that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. The View complex itself has this whole community feel going on, and honestly, the staff seemed to know their regular guests by name, which tells you something about the kind of place it is. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s driven around Sandton will tell you is not a given. The 7.7 rating feels about right – it’s solid, reliable, does what it promises without any major surprises. I’d say it works especially well if you’re someone who values having your own space and doesn’t need to be right in the thick of things, but still wants easy access to everything Sandton offers. It’s the kind of place that grows on you, actually – not flashy, but genuinely comfortable in a way that makes you feel settled rather than just passing through.

To visit Johannesburg during the vibrant spring season from September to November, travelers should plan ahead as this cosmopolitan city attracts millions of visitors seeking authentic South African experiences and world-class cultural attractions.

  Location good, close to Sandton and most of the amenities. Very secure apartment. Clean and minimalistic decor which is great.
  
  What could be improved: There’s no curtain, it’s just lace which allows light to come through not good if you are a light sleeper.

  Rooms were spacious and clean. Bed very comfortable. Host very helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Room very light at night due to a spotlight. Had to put a blanket in front of the window.

• Wonderful – Guido from South Africa – March 23, 2024 (9/10)

  Centrally situated, modern studio.

• Peaceful, Quaint Apartment – Balintulo from South Africa – March 6, 2024 (9/10)

  Nabeel the host is very hands on. He made my stay a lot more comfortable than I expected. Communication with them was easy and they were always ready to sort any problem I had encountered. The unit is very quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend it to others .

• Okay for a short stay – Alexander from Switzerland – February 21, 2024 (7/10)

  Clean apartment with all amenities one would need.
  
  What could be improved: The property is in a block with 100+ apartments with ONLY one elevator. This can be inconveniencing as the elevator is constantly busy, not least the apartment itself shares a back wall with the elevator. Instead of a steamer it would be great to have a proper iron in the apartment. The steamer is quite difficult to use. The apartment can get very hot at night, slept with balcony door open and fan running all night.

• Very Good – Candice from South Africa – February 8, 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: There are no heavy curtains or blinds so the room was lighter than I would’ve liked

• Simple good location clean and functional. – Jesse from Rwanda – January 12, 2024 (9/10)

  Good location, secure grounds. Keys were easy to retrieve from security. Clean, good pressure from the water.
  
  Loved the fact that there were two sofas that flattened out to two beds for our boys.
  
  What could be improved: A bit warm inside given there is no a/c but the fan that was provided helped with the screen door opened all night.
