Directions to Fairlawns Hotel

Fairlawns Conference Venue is only 4km from Sandton City and 20km from Johannesburg International Airport.

Once the private residence of John and Anna Thacker, the property consisted of a 10 acres of ground with horses and stables and rolling lawns (hence the name Fairlawns). It has retained its stately, park-like ambience with huge mature trees and prolific birdlife. The external architecture is Palladian, but there are a myriad styles in the bedrooms, one to definitely suit every taste.

Apart from the beautiful surroundings, which without exception seems to elicit the response 'one would never say one is in Johannesburg', the warm, homely ambience is unerringly remarked upon as: 'a home away from home, only better'. Fairlawns is only 4km from Sandton City and 20km from Johannesburg International Airport. Take advantage of the easy-in-and-out-of Johannesburg or appreciate convenient high-end fashion shopping in Sandton.
