Own
your own "English Village in
South Africa!"
The
Guest Lodge, with numerous thatch roof houses and cottages and an
extra 6
hectares open land for future development, nestles in the quiet valley
of Zwartkop in the Muldersdrift area on the western side of
Johannesburg.
You
can live in the country side but still only a stone throw away from
Johannesburg and Pretoria (30 minutes drive) and 10 minutes drive
from Lanseria International Airport.
The
guest lodge is situated in the heart of the Crocodile Ramble, adjacent
to the Cradle of Humankind
- a popular tourist area.
It
is a registered guest house with a conference-, restaurant- and liquor
licence.
The Guest Lodge has 3 Stars on the Tourism
Grading Council of South Africa, is Highly Recommended by the AA
Quality Assurance Programme and a member of Fedhasa.
This
Guest Lodge is the perfect place for guests who wish to get way from
the hustle and bustle of city life and a magnificent location for bird
watchers and nature lovers to unwind. Relax next to the pool, have a braai in the Boma,
read a book or go for a walk to enjoy nature and its abundant
birdlife.
It
is known as an exclusive hide-away where guests stay in country style
cottages, rustic garden rooms or luxury rooms in the main house. An
ideal weekend is to relax with sundowners in the Lapa next to the
sparkling pool after a long day and afterwards enjoy an unforgettable
evening next to an open fire in the large open air African Boma.
UNIQUE
CONFERENCE CENTRE
The
unique conference centre, which is situated in the garden, is popular
amongst companies for workshops, training, mini conferences, informal
meetings, corporate incentives, retreats and director breakaways. We
offer total privacy in a country style set-up for small groups, away
from the office. The conference room can accommodate groups up to 30
overnight delegates or up to 70 day delegates.
LOCATION
The
Guest Lodge is situated on the West Rand, only 30 minutes drive from
Johannesburg or Pretoria, and 10 minutes from Lanseria International
Airport, in the heart of the Crocodile Ramble and adjacent to
the Cradle of Humankind, a world heritage site. It is 4 km from
the N14, the highway between Pretoria and Krugersdorp, in the
Muldersdrift area. This is the perfect destination for guests seeking
a unique location for peace and serenity, but still close to the city.
