Johannesburg / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Johannesburg with our travel partners.
Northwards places the city’s mining fortunes in a domestic setting, from its Arts and Crafts architecture to the rooms associated with the Dale Lace and Albu families. Tours offer a way to understand the house beyond its imposing exterior. Arrange access before travelling; the heritage foundation’s events and book room do not imply unrestricted daily access to every room.
