The expensive upmarket suburb of Morningside is in the larger suburban area of Sandton, Johannesburg, the Gauteng Province of South Africa. If you imagine luxurious properties in gated communities, immaculate lawns, chic apartments, shopping convenience and excellent schools you have a picture of Morningside.
The elegant and stylish Morningside Shopping Mall is in the suburb for shopping made all the more convenient with the KaChing parking app.
Slightly removed from the commercial buzz of Sandton, Morningside is nonetheless close enough for travelers and visiting executives to make this suburb their base. The suburb is also a short distance from the main M1 highway between Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Top 8 reasons to visit Morningside
1. Aside from being a business centre, Sandton is also South Africa’s premier shopping district.
