Retrace Gandhi's legacy at his former home in South Africa

Pirates, can you picture anywhere more peaceful than a stay in the home of one of the world's greatest ever philosophers?

In a charming cottage in Johannesburg, South Africa, you can actually stay in Gandhi's former home, the Satyagraha House.

Part museum, part guesthouse, this African cottage is charming, tranquil and even comes with free cancellation - how very thoughtful...

Details

The history that ties Gandhi to the Satyagraha House goes back 100 years, when the Indian leader lived here from 1908 to 1909.

It is believed that within the walls of this residential home, Gandhi developed his philosophy of passive resistance, and went on to use this to lead India into independence from the British.

The house is now registered as part of South African heritage and functions both as a guesthouse and as a museum that retraces Gandhi's life in South Africa and the experiences that shaped this icon.

As you might expect, the house has a tranquil, meditative atmosphere that reflects the peaceful nature of the great thinker that once lived here.

The best part is that a stay in Gandhi's former home isn't even as pricey as you might think, with a double room and private bathroom averaging at £180* per night, or £90* per person based on two sharing.
