Accommodating UK guests in an apartment as opposed to an hotel has a number of pluses, especially if they are combining some business with their holiday.
Sarah Mills, Marketing and Sales Manager for Max Apartments in Illovo comments: “For a British traveller, the space we offer in our apartments is a big attraction. Furthermore, our location is such that we have multiple award-winning restaurants and entertainment venues within easy walking distance. On beautiful Johannesburg summer’s nights, it’s the perfect place to be.”
South African weather, states Mills, is a major attraction to UK visitors. “Having amenities such an outdoor pool and entertainment area are very enticing.” Max Illovo keeps sunscreen and towels on hand in sunny months for guest use.
Mills says many UK visitors book in when there are cricket matches as the Wanderers Cricket Grounds are within easy distance of the property. “We suggest our guests walk there and feel the pre-game ambience.” Max Illovo does offer a shuttle service, however.
She highlights a recent review received from a traveller: “Excellent and best kept secret holiday and business facility in Sandton. I travelled with my family and stayed for a week in a two-bedroom apartment. On the third day, I was visited by my business colleagues and met in the library and boardroom without any disturbance to my family!”
From a business perspective, each Max apartment has a desk with international plugs, with more than enough space for a laptop and writing material.
