Maboneng meaning “Place of Light” is a fully integrated urban neighborhood on the east side of Johannesburg CBD. Both a mixed-use development and urban community, Maboneng is home to several independent retail, restaurants and entertainment venues as well as loft apartments, offices, film and sound studios, a hotel, a hostel, a museum and creative factory spaces.

As such, the Maboneng Precinct offers a range of well-designed and affordable spaces within an urban landscape in Johannesburg. With all its offerings, Maboneng has proved to be a popular destination for locals and international tourists.
Private Group Tours available on request

Make Joburg your very own open-air museum. We’ll paddle through areas like Jeppestown, Maboneng, Doornfontein, Victoria Yards and Troyeville, for a day of public arts, urban living, fascinating history, amazing architecture, and plenty of fresh air.

You’ll start off with a shisa nyama (barbecue) at Curiocity and then hit spots like the Troyeville Hotel, Charlie & Gerald’s Town Treasure, Guildhall Pub, Hallmark House Rooftop, before ending off at Shakers Extreme.

We’ll head out on skateboards to trace the early history of Joburg, visit popular skate spots and speak about inner city culture. The tour begins and ends at Curiocity HQ but focuses on areas such as Marshalltown, Ferreirasdrop and Newtown. No worries if you’ve never skated before, the tour starts off with a short skate lesson before exploring the city.

Let’s feast! Every Friday night we BRAAI (BBQ), grab some drinks at the bar and groove the night away with our resident DJ.

Exploring the city by bike is a great way to discover its stories. Ask at the front desk for more info.
