Christie’s at 32 on Russell is the perfect location for day trips or a stopover en route to the Kruger National Park.
We take pride in offering a peaceful and quiet environment we like to call an “Oasis in the City” where our guests can unwind and recharge. Our 6 800 square metre property has extensive terraced gardens with royal palms, indigenous trees, cascading pools and an expansive poolside patio on which to entertain or just relax and soak up the Lowveld ambience.
Exquisite orchids grace many of the trees, and Greek statues and trickling fountains are hidden in shady corners of the fairy-tale garden. A variety of birds call these gardens home, their song heard throughout the day.
Intimate and tasteful, this well-secured Mediterranean-styled home has been refurbished and converted into an elegant executive destination for travellers from all over the world.
The reimagined 80-year-old family residence is the heart of the guesthouse. Surrounded by a lush tropical garden, all the facilities face outward, creating a seamless experience where nature can be enjoyed in comfort. The house offers 12 en-suite rooms, individually furnished, in keeping with the antique Mediterranean character of the home.
In addition to the main house, The Gatehouse situated on the property at the entrance gate was built and styled in the 1950s. It offers four en-suite rooms (and two rooms with a shared balcony with access to a fully equipped kitchen). Ideal for families who prefer self-catering, the rooms can be paired to sleep six via an interleading door.
Guests who are looking for business accommodation or a longer stay with self-catering can also enjoy private access to the fully equipped kitchen.
Breakfast can be enjoyed at Christie’s Patio, a short stroll away through our beautiful gardens.
Finally, Spiro’s House situated on the property at the exit gate has five en-suite rooms. Focused on quality and affordability, each room is tastefully decorated, imparting a homely feel in which guests can relax. Set away from the main house, adjacent to the parking, lush garden paths invite guests to explore the garden en route to the dining patio, swimming pools, lounges and beauty salon at the main guesthouse.
Our chef welcomes you to our fully licensed restaurant, which is open to guests and the public alike and offers an eating experience both tasteful and relaxing – with a view that simply takes your breath away. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Aniska invites you to enter an environment that infuses beauty with a sense of well-being in the onsite luxury spa. Aniska combines medical-grade products, sensory experiences and personalised treatments with professional expertise. Relax into signature massages, pedicures, manicures, traditional makeup, facials, brow and lash treatments, and more.
The Chris Christie Boardroom is the ideal venue for your executive, board or specialised in-house meetings. An elegant 12-seater table offers a spacious environment in which to work, complete with a data projector and screen, flip chart, marker pens, pen and paper per seating and Wi-Fi. Our in-house team is also able to assist with any additional requirements for your meeting.
The Christie’s venue offers the most glamorous setting, perfect for weddings, private functions, high teas, musical events, art exhibitions, high-end pop-up shops and so much more.
