What can I say, this is a very special place. Everything about Marble hits the mark, and then some. Incredible views of Johannesburg, impeccable food and impressive wine selection. If you enjoy the finer things in life, this may be the place for you.

Drinks & Nightlife
A place thats all about the music. If you're a fan of the underground, especially techno or deep house, this is the place for you. Open all night til about 6am every Saturday. The upstairs area is where you would have found me back in my youth ;)

A somewhat mainstream spot but always fairly busy with a decent vibe. Definitely not a bad idea, if you're keen to get a lay of the land and have a few drinks.

Essentials
My personal favourite health food store. A wide selection of top notch health food at fairly reasonable prices. They also have a little cafe that makes a mean veggie burger.

Entertainment & Activities
Namaste :) This is the best yoga studio in JHB in my humble opinion . A full selection of classes from Vinyasa to Forest at reasonable prices. Deepen your practice whilst on holiday, why not.

Arts & Culture
Well this place is a bit of everything, some art, fashion, food, music, salsa dancing - I guess you just have to go to get an idea of what it is - but worth checking out.
