Coming home to the bush
A family home in the heart of Dinokeng, an hour from OR Tambo and thirty minutes from Pretoria.
Two places to stay
Bring the whole family to the villa, or slip away as a couple to the cabin. Each is private and each has its own fire.
The Cabinsleeps 2from R1605 a night
A raised log cabin for two, completely off grid, with a wood-fired hot tub and a deck that looks straight onto the waterhole.
This was our family home first
We raised our family in this house in the Dinokeng bush. When the kids moved overseas it grew too quiet, so we opened it up. Now we love hosting other families here, especially South Africans coming home to visit.
Whether you are back from overseas to see family or escaping the city for a few days, there is room for everyone, a braai for every mood, and the Big 5 wandering past the fence.
We live on the property and look after it ourselves. Ask and we will help you run a pizza or roast chicken evening in the braai room. You bring the ingredients.
