Northcliff is a small town to the northeast of Johannesburg within the N1 Western Bypass loop. The spacious homes and leafy streets of Northcliff are home to affluent residents who enjoy the best of both worlds: proximity to the central business district for work and quiet residential neighbourhoods for a peaceful respite from the daily grind.

Residents of Northcliff enjoy shopping at the Cresta Shopping Centre, one of the largest malls in Johannesburg. For those more interested in fresh air than in retail therapy, Northcliff is home to the Jozi Scuba School, which organises diving trips and lessons. To keep your feet on dry land, hike the gorgeous Johannesburg Botanical Gardens and take in the views at the Emmarentia Dam. The cliff for which Northcliff is named is one of the highest spots in Johannesburg, and it's popular with rock climbers as well as with this who want to take in the spectacular views at the top.

Northcliff's convenient location and lovely neighbourhoods makes it a popular location for tourists to stay when visiting the greater Johannesburg area. Places like the Northcliff Manor Guesthouse, Auberge Le Fleur and the Blackheath Manor Guest House make visiting family in the area a real treat.
