When to go?

Anyone from the city will tell you: the Johannesburg climate is one of the best in the world. It has far less seasonal variation than Cape Town, which means that any time of year is a good time to be here.

You need at least 3 nights to do the city some kind of justice and you could easily spend a week sightseeing and still have stacks left to see. The Peech is a brilliant choice for your first or last night in the city as it has easy access to the motorway which leads to the airport.
