My wife and I decided to open a new business in Centurion since we wanted to increase our income. Both of us decided to first go and survey the area and see what best area we can position our business. My wife and I had to look for a fully furnished apartment to stay in Centurion and we got a self-catering 2-bedroom apartment on Gumtree which was affordable and located in the Reeds. We only wanted to stay there for two months while we conduct our survey.
