Auckland Park was laid out in 1888 and developed by a New Zealander, John Landau, who saw in the area great similarities to his home town Auckland, hence the name. The names of the streets were all related to places along the Thames - Richmond, Twickenham, Ditton, Wargrave, Kingston, Finsbury, Surbiton, Hampton, Fulham, Henley, etc.
A number of early Johannesburg "names" built houses here, Julius Jeppe built four, one for himself, one each for his daughter and son and one for his butler.
Today Auckland Park is a true mix of nationalities and cultures and its inhabitants enjoy a vibrant lifestyle.
I arrived late, was welcomed with a pot of tea. The following morning enjoyed the best breakfast I had in I can safely say Africa and the US. The coffee beats Starbucks !
The host was very welcoming and made me feel at home.
My room was tidy, clean, well equipped and maintained.
The gardens...I took some photos for my mom!
