Welcome to The Wellstead, a historic double-story mansion in Wynberg, one of the area's first established homes. The downstairs area is set up exclusively for guests, offering 5G Wi-Fi, a private bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom for your comfort and convenience. The property is securely gated with electric fencing and offers ample parking for multiple cars. For added peace of mind, private security patrols the street nightly and is available for emergencies. With its rich heritage and modern amenities, The Wellstead is the perfect retreat in a charming neighbourhood.
I'm a full-time trader with an Honours degree in Commerce. I live upstairs in my mansion, where I have my own private bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. If you need any assistance or have questions, feel free to reach out. If you're also interested in trading advice, I'm happy to help as well.
