Satyagraha House
This house, in the residential neighbourhood of Orchards in Johannesburg, was the home of Mohandas Gandhi from 1908 to 1909. Within these walls, the future Mahatma created and developed his philosophy of passive resistance: Satyagraha in sanskrit. A pacifist method of protest that he employed in India to lead the country to independence. The house was built in 1907 by Gandhi’s close friend, the German architect Hermann Kallenbach, and today it begins a new life. It is now a museum and a guesthouse with 7 rooms. We also serve an elegant vegetarian cuisine and particularly a degustation menu suggesting a tasty trip through South Africa. We provide massages, yoga, meditation, morning jogging or private music concert in the evening (on request).
