Germiston Meadowbrook is located in the Ekurhuleni municipality east of Johannesburg, a strategic location with 3 rental companies and easy access to OR Tambo International Airport (15 km, 20 min). The area is an industrial and commercial hub that suits business travelers and transit passengers equally well. The N3 motorway toward Durban and R24 toward the airport are easily accessible from here.
