Sandton City Splendid Apartment 009 Power & Water Backup

Sandton City Splendid Apartment 009 Power & Water Backup Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name Sandton City Splendid Apartment 009 Power & Water Backup, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I mean, having “power and water backup” right in the title tells you something about Johannesburg’s infrastructure challenges, but you know what? That’s exactly why this place is brilliant.

Located right on Fredman Drive, you’re literally in the heart of Sandton’s financial district – and I actually mean heart, not just “conveniently located” nonsense. You can walk to Sandton City Mall in under five minutes (trust me, I timed it), and Nelson Mandela Square is right there too. The apartment building itself is one of those sleek modern towers that sprouted up during Johannesburg’s economic boom, and honestly, the views from the upper floors are pretty spectacular, especially at sunset when the city lights start twinkling below. This four-star setup delivers on comfort without the stuffiness you sometimes get at traditional hotels.

What really impressed me was how they’ve thought through the practical stuff that matters when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The backup power system isn’t just a marketing gimmick – during load shedding (which, let’s face it, still happens), you’ll have lights and WiFi while other places go dark. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not just some sad mini-fridge situation, so you can actually cook if you want to avoid the restaurant scene for a night. The apartment feels spacious in a way that most hotel rooms just don’t – you can spread out your stuff without everything feeling cramped. Parking is secure underground, which honestly is a huge relief in this part of town, and the building’s security is tight without being intimidating.

The location really shines during the week when Sandton pulses with business energy, but weekends have this interesting quiet vibe as the corporate crowd disappears. You’re close enough to Melrose Arch for dinner (about a 10-minute drive), and if you’re into the nightlife scene, both Rosebank and Parkhurst are easily accessible. The Gautrain station is walking distance too, so getting to OR Tambo airport is actually straightforward – something that’s not always guaranteed in this sprawling city. With a 9.2 rating, it’s clear other guests have figured out what I did: sometimes the best places aren’t the ones with the fanciest names, but the ones that just work really well for real travelers who need reliable comfort in a great location.

Johannesburg tourism provides visitors with unforgettable experiences in Africa’s largest urban area, known for its dynamic street art, world-class restaurants, and legendary Soweto township tours.

• Nettes kleines Apartment – Claus from Germany – March 27, 2025 (8/10)

  Sehr gute Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin, sauberes und sicheres Apartment. Wir konnten früher einchecken, was uns sehr geholfen hat. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür.
  
  What could be improved: Das Apartment liegt im ersten Stock angrenzend zu einer vierspurigen Straße. Da ich gerne mit offenem Fenster schlafe, war das nicht möglich. Der Krach war dann doch zu laut.

• Very Good – Nicholas from South Africa – January 11, 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, minimal noise and very secure. Lovely apartment, well equipped, neat and tidy with all basic amenities. Great value.
  
  What could be improved: Due to this being a long stay, a few more of the basics such as towels, option for a cleaner , blow dryer etc, would be nice. However this is self catering so understandable.

  The apartment is 5 minutes away from Sandton City Mall… I was connected to Wifi until I checked out.

Very secure place, I will definitely book again.
