Visited Houghton Estate earlier this month. As others have mentioned, was a private home and is located in a leafy suburban area (high walls around properties) near Mandela's home and not too far from the CBD.

Spent a wonderful night at 10 2nd Avenue (Houghton Estate is one of the posh suburbs of Johanneburg). This used to be a private home, and has been re-designed into a 5-star guesthouse.
