Marcelle Bosch
Home of Synergy is a stylish and funky guest accommodation in Parkwood Johannesburg, close to Rosebank and intertwined with the colorful textures of South African Art and Craft works. Our guest units are inspired by the cultural treasures of Venda and Tsonga heritage and combined with the contemporary style and comfort of a renovated traditional Parkwood Maison, we offer 3 guest accommodation options: one self-catering unit with fully equipped kitchen and 2 luxury guest suites with bathrooms en suite. Take a short, guided walkabout inside Home of Synergy to learn more about the works and culture of rural Limpopo artists and crafters.
Home of Synergy is the base of Dutch owner Marcelle Bosch’s various sustainable tourism and development initiatives linked to her support of Limpopo’s CraftArtists. In Home of Synergy the rich cultural heritage of Limpopo lives in synergy with the vibrant, cosmopolitan flair of Joburg’s CraftArtists. International guests can book for a home-cooked dinner for the first evening of their stay. While enjoying your meal, do ask your host, Marcelle Bosch, a seasoned traveller in Africa, to share her 24-year journey living in South Africa, Joburg and Limpopo, involved with sustainable CraftArt and responsible tourism development in deep rural and urban environments.
