The Heart of Madiba Heritage.
Set in Nelson Mandela’s primary place of residence in the leafy-green suburb of Houghton, Johannesburg, Sanctuary Mandela includes elements of the home Madiba lived in after he returned from Robben Island, where he hosted the likes of Michael Jackson and Oprah Winfrey, and which later became the headquarters of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Sanctuary Mandela is now a re-envisioned residency, a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel with 9 curated rooms and retreat spaces for reflection, healing, and thought-provoking experiences inspired by the life and times of Nelson Mandela.
Nine beautifully decorated rooms are a reflection on the extraordinary life of Nelson Mandela, with each room dedicated to an aspect of his personality.
ROOM OPTIONSDining like Madiba.
In memory of Mandela’s love for food, our fine-dining restaurant serves as a tribute to his favourite dishes as previously prepared by his long-time personal chef, Xoliswa Ndoyiya. For more than 20 years, Xoliswa Ndoyiya was Madiba’s personal and family chef, from his presidency to his retirement and until his passing. Born in Ezibeleni in the Eastern Cape (the same province Madiba hailed from), Xoliswa is also the author of Ukutya Kwasekhaya.
