Randlords

If you're looking for an exclusive rooftop bar to enjoy your afternoon or evening, then Randlords should be at the top of your list. Located in the Braamfontein area of Johannesburg, you get to enjoy the city's buzz while watching a spectacular sunset, and seeing the city lights come alive on the Nelson Mandela bridge is a bonus you won't want to miss. This, coupled with a great drink and great company, sounds like a pretty sweet deal to us.

Take a trip down to Marshalltown for a brilliant evening at The Reef Hotel. This spot should definitely be high up on your list given their fabulous Elevate Rooftop Venue. This space can also be hired out for events and guests can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city. So, if you're planning on hosting a fabulous rooftop bar event, why look anywhere else? Alternatively, you can go to simply enjoy the view, some drinks and good food. Either way, it sounds like a win to us.

Where To Eat

If there is one thing you should know about Kramerville is that it's not known for its culinary culture but... there are quite a few really, really, really... REALLY good restaurants that need to be on your radar screen!

Gorge

Located in Kramerville Corner, Gorge is a coffee shop where you want to be seen. Whether it's a tasty sandwich, wholesome salad, filling wrap or buttery croissant paired with the finest coffee or latte, we implore you to check out Gorge. The eatery serves breakfast and lunch and is a great meeting spot for a quick catch up with friends and family or a solo working session. The java is good and the WiFi decent - what more do you need? We recommend the salmon and cream cheese croissant, the bacon blue burger, and Gorge's Moroccan lamb bowl.

Details: here

Razor Charlie

Come rain or shine, day or night - Razor Charlie has an exceptional, colourful and inviting atmosphere. Pull out all of the stops and do something extraordinary and grab a couple of drinks and a bite to eat at Kramerville's coolest hangout. Why not spoil your loved one with a delicious dinner? Razor Charlie recently added (well, at the time of writing anyway) a few more vegan/vegetarian meals to the menu. Off the bat, we suggest you try the chicken pot pie, steak tacos, and their amazing spicy fries.

Details: here

Munch Cafe

Started by father and son duo Gerry and Matthew Scott-Lyon, Munch Café's mandate is to deliver the most delicious café fare, all made with the freshest ingredients. With a fresh, welcoming environment where families come together around the table in an upmarket and informal setting, this a venue that delivers on quality time after time. Try the Mexican pizza (available on a gluten-free base), gratinated pancakes (baby spinach and mushrooms topped with grilled white cheddar cheese), and the flat bread topped with beef fillet.

Details: here

Where To Shop

Kramerville is a design and décor fanatic's dream. There are plenty of shops and factory stores filled to the brim with the most interesting, most beautiful, and most daring designs on the market.

Design & Decor Lab

If you’ve reached that stage where your home or office is screaming for an overhaul, enlist the experts from Design & Decor Lab to help you. Not only do they customise the design to suit your lifestyle and taste, but they will also make all the furniture, window treatments and anything else needed for your space. The bonus?

Where To Party

Sir James van der Merwe/ Katy's Palace Bar

Long story short, Sir James van der Merwe took it upon himself to go on a gentleman's quest to find the perfect place to enjoy a drink. He found Katy's and set up shop there. More than a bar, Sir James van der Merwe is an experience, a concoction of old-time charm infused with laid-back sophistication and a twist of Joburg. Strike up casual conversations, linger over a game of billiards and raise a glass to good company. Sir James van der Merwe is open every Wednesday night from 4pm for after work drinks.

Dakota Lee

What happens when you fuse a tattoo parlour with cutting-edge interior design and a well-stocked bar? You end up with a rockabilly hangout worth paying a visit. Dakota Lee is a great place to get your buzz on (that would be the buzz of a tattoo machine) and then grab a lekker drink with a couple of close friends. The vibe is super chilled, the beer cold, and the cocktails mixed by more-than-capable-hands. The venue also features an art gallery and retail space, embracing the full spectrum of tattoo culture.

Exquisite Cuts

We love the fact that owner-manager Heather Lund Truter gave up a ten-year career as a private banker in order to start this amazing store in Kramerville. In a nutshell, Exquisite Cuts offers hand-picked short-ends – remnants and end of range fabrics from local and international décor houses. This means that YOU get the best fabrics, but for so much less!

The range is constantly evolving and changing as new fabrics become available. I opted for some ready-made cushions to refresh my living room. I was spoilt for choice with a wide range of phenomenal fabrics from which to choose. But it doesn’t stop there – you can also buy discounted upholstery and curtaining fabric at a variety of price points. All of this just makes redecorating so much more affordable and FUN!

The Exquisite Cuts team

What impressed me most about the store is the passionate and insightful team that does so much more than just sell fabric. They are quick to offer advice, insight, suggestions and creative ideas to help you transform a tired room into something that reflects your family. You can bring photos with you and ask for advice. The team will then help you come up with an action plan that suits your time and budget. I prefer using very inexpensive fabric for curtaining and then ramping up the look with stunning accent cushions – that way, I get a brand new look for a fraction of the price (and yes, I have both “summer” and “winter” cushions – you will too when you visit this amazing shop!)

Another bonus is that Exquisite Cuts also offers ready-made curtains (an absolute win for those looking for instant gratification). They have a team of tried-and-tested curtain-makers if you’d like something made to spec.

Follow the store on Facebook to keep updated with new fabric lines that become available. In brief, I would highly recommend popping in for a browse and to treat yourself to new cushions for your Master Bedroom or living room. Take photos before you go – you’ll be amazed at what the team suggests and the difference it will make to your space, without breaking the bank.

PLUS you get to #SupportLocal!

Then there's the 'Bedroom' section with headboards and side tables in every shape, size and material, and 'Outdoor' furniture so sophisticated you'll feel like you've stepped into someone's penthouse balcony.

Exquisite Cuts

Fabric, fabric, fabric! As Exquisite Cuts says: We scour every corner of the fabric world to bring you the latest and greatest trends, colours, textures and designs.

JVB

The JVB Furniture Collection has a single-minded goal: to help South Africans create a timeless sense of occasion in their day-to-day living. Their pieces are striking and modern; easy to picture in a Maboneng loft or Sandhurst mansion. Think gorgeous stainless steel coupled with mustard velvets; upholstery in hues of greys and champagnes and cabinets made from wood. They also offer Interior Design Services, so give them a call if you're needing a home overhaul.

Icons

You've not experienced amazing sound and tech until you've paid Icons a visit in Kramerville. It's more than a music and audio store, it's an experience complete with a top notch kitchen staffed with people obsessed with pushing culinary boundaries. We highly recommend that you swing by Icons and experience it for yourself. To boot, Icon also hosts a wide variety of events: from cooking classes to movie nights, there truly is something for everyone. You can find them at Unit 4, Design on Appel, Appel Road Kramerville, Sandton, Gauteng.

Halogen International stocks and distributes local and international fabrics and wall coverings from over 30 of the world's most exclusive fabric houses, and they offer a range of over 200 hand-selected local fabrics to choose from. You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to fabric choice – woven, quilted, kelim, velvet, linen – and pattern. Go find something special.

Tonic Design

Minimalistic designs have been making a strong stand in the design world. If you like neat, simple and classy, then Tonic Design is the place to go. We particularly love the Nova bed design – its clean lines will look good in any modern bedroom.

Amatuli

For artistic pieces, treasures with a rustic look or Africa inspired pieces, Amatuli is the place to go. We adore the African face mask display sets and the black and white fine art portraiture by David Ballam.

They understand that the kitchen is the heart of any home or, as they would put it, the focal point of your home. Who better to design your kitchen than them? Check out their showroom for inspiration.

Classic Bond Decor

Looking for elegant decor items that wont break the bank? Then we recommend you head to Classic Bond Decor. This classic Le Med mini chaise is just the piece for a cosy reading corner, while the contemporary white painted server will look elegant in any dining room.

Dejan Custom Furniture

Dejan Custom Furniture prides itself in designing quality and stylish bespoke furniture for its niche clientele. We absolutely adore the circle mirrors in their accessories section. Have a look and be dazzled.

Dreamweaver Studios

Are you more of a wallpaper than paint person? Then Dreamweaver is the place to go. It's a designer's little haven as they offer both wallpaper and remarkable fabrics. Best still, if you need more time to ponder and decide what you like, they have sample books available.

Eurocasa

If you've always had a thing for Italian design, Eurocasa should be your first stop the next time you're in Kramerville. Have a look at their gallery for stunning room sets, including kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Kramerville

A few years ago, Kramerville was comprised solely of fabric and furniture stores and felt very industrial. A recent revisit brought to light what a far cry it is to its former self. Okay, maybe not that different because a number of the original stores remain. However, a new look has been introduced based on the premise of a safe, clean, almost cordoned-off area in Sandton. Coffee shops and restaurants are additions to the many design stores, making Kramerville a friendly and inviting burb to explore. I adore Katy’s palace bar which prides itself on its likeness to a palace (I would say more of an upmarket loft) in décor and feel. It’s perfect for cocktail parties, corporate events and sit-down dinners. What's more, they leave the choice of décor up to you when you book. You can select from various designer themes such as white wedding, sunset terrace, African banquet and others. They even have their Royal Tuk Tuk service to cart your guests around the area.

Wild Eye

Wild Eye is situated in Fourways - perfect for all the creative young couples who have congregated there. They offer photographic courses including practical experience. Choose from a few topics and locations such as a day trip to the Kruger Park to photograph wildlife. Once you’re a more experienced photographer, you can select one of their photographic safaris or travel packages. There’s the option of guided tours during which an experienced professional can assist you with the composition of your shots, or you are welcome to simply enjoy the beauty that is to be find through the lens.

Rosebank

The newly opened Bolton Road Collection is part of Rosebank's recent facelift. A fresh new restaurant and cocktail bar kitted with screed flooring, unusual lighting designs and exposed brick walls – you’d expect it to feel cold and stark but their furnishings, incredible food and warm atmosphere make it the perfect end of week stop. If you’re in a shopping mood, then head up to Rosebank Mall which has introduced a variety of upmarket stores and restaurants. There are holiday workshops for kids and expos for adults too. They've also brought back their Sunday rooftop market, famous for the eclectic mix of food stuffs, books, antiques and African crafts. An added bonus is the car boot sale that takes place at the market on the last Sunday of every month. The wares range from old school toys, records and trinkets from days gone by to you name it... Come and see for yourself!

Cocktails and canvas

Cocktails and canvas in Rivonia uniquely pairs painting (yes, with brushes on canvas) with fabuous cocktails. That’s right, let your creative juices flow with some alcoholic lubrication. Great for corporate events, private parties and their monthly open night during which anyone can join in. It’s great for meeting people, relaxing and expressing your creative self. A teacher guides you and the package includes your canvas, a cocktail upon arrival and loads of fun. No under 18’s. Further drinks can be purchased from the restaurant. Their sessions run on mornings, afternoons and evenings - so there’s no excuse not to go and explore this very different option!
