Let’s face it: planning an event in Joburg can feel like assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions, chaotic, confusing, and slightly rage-inducing.
That’s why location matters. And not just any location, we’re talking parking-friendly, traffic-dodging, hotel-hugging, inspiring kind of location. That’s where Focus Rooms struts onto the scene.
If you’ve ever typed in:
- “Event venue near Sandton”
- “Conference venue with parking”
- “Workshop venue not in a traffic apocalypse”
- Or the crowd pleaser: “A venue that won’t test your patience, or your parking skills.”
Then, congrats, friend, you’ve found it.
Where Exactly Is Focus Rooms?
We’re perfectly located just off the N1 at Modderfontein, tucked into a magical triangle between Sandton, Greenstone, and Linbro Park. It’s the kind of central-but-not-chaotic spot that event planners dream about.
Our official address?
Heaton Lane, Longlake 20, Modderfontein, 1609
You don’t need a map, a spiritual compass, or a helicopter to get here. We’re:
- 10 minutes from Sandton CBD
- 20 minutes from OR Tambo
- 15 minutes from Greenstone Shopping Centre
- Close to the Gautrain Marlboro Station (10 minutes)
- Smooth off-highway access (with zero gravel roads, we promise)
And the best part? You’ll be driving against the traffic. In Joburg, that’s rarer than a Zoom call that ends early.
Staying the Night? We’ve Got You Covered
Whether your team is flying in, glamming up for a gala dinner, or loves a hotel breakfast buffet (respect), there are plenty of nearby accommodation options, our favourites are:
- Holiday Inn Express Sandton, Woodmead by IHG: Modern, reliable and just 10 km from Focus Rooms, this 3-star hotel boasts free Wi‑Fi, express buffet breakfast, airport shuttle service, and secure parking, spot-on for smart-budget groups.

Let’s Talk Parking (Yes, There’s Lots of It)
We know what you’re thinking: “But is there parking?” Oh, honey. Is there ever!
At Focus Rooms, you get:
- Secure on-site parking
- Enough bays to fit your whole team, their plus-ones, and that guy from logistics who arrives with more gear than a music festival.
- Easy drop-off zones for VIPs (and caffeine emergencies)
- Flat, simple access, no mountain climbing, no multi-level mazes
Because nothing says “Welcome to Focus Rooms” like not needing a search party to find your car.
Why Our Location Isn’t Just Convenient, It’s a Whole Experience
We’re central without the stress. Urban without the noise. Professional without the pretence. And yes, we have more personality than a 3 pm brainstorm session with muffins.
But seriously, here’s what makes us different:
- Well-positioned just off the highway, close to everything you need and far from the chaos you don’t.
- We’re not in the middle of Sandton gridlock (we love Sandton… from a safe distance).
- We’re wrapped in natural light, inspiring interiors, and seriously comfy spaces, purpose-built to keep energy high and eyelids open.
