Situated in the exclusive Sandhurst suburb of Sandton, the Saxon makes a world-class statement of ethnic African elegance, combined with personalised attention to detail. The Saxon has always been a place of welcome. First as a home, now a home away from home.
With its roots in the heart of Gauteng, it has drawn the warmth of the city that bred it - from the world it has won it's refinement and ease. Saxon has witnessed history within its walls as it became home to Nelson Mandela after he was released from prison. It was during this time that South Africa's former President used the serene setting of the Saxon to edit his autobiography 'Long walk to Freedom'.
