Yukon House - Culture and a Cream Tea

The first ‘tea and cakes’ in Joburg were sold by Roley and Budley from a mud hut in Ferreirasdorp in 1887. 20 years later, Tommy Allan built a mansion, Yukon – named after the Canadian goldfields – on the side of a ridge, overlooking Bezuidenhout Valley. Yukon has been a landmark ever since.

Home to two mayors and host to Johannesburg’s high society, the house has been lovingly restored by Sir Henry and Loretta Chamberlain. With wide verandas, grand fireplaces, stained glass windows and sweeping views across the valley, this is a home to be savoured.

Join your guide, Antoinette Morgan, for a fascinating tour of the house and meet its occupants – past and present. The tour culminates with a lavish cream tea (included in the price) complete with savoury and sweet treats, all served on the terrace – an experience not to be missed!

Numbers are limited and bookings for this tour close on the 4th of April, so don’t delay – book now! Parking is available on the street and a car guard will be on duty.
