Overview
Midway between the N1 (from Pretoria and Roodepoort/Cape Town), the N3 (from Durban and Johannesburg International Airport). This makes our Guest Lodge very well located for both the Business person and the Tourist who want the tranquility of the country and easy access to Sandton, Johannesburg, Woodmead, Midrand, Bryanston, Rivonia, Fourways, Sunninghill, Linbro Park and Pretoria.
Your hosts, Yvonne and Gerard van Schendel invite you to share their little paradise. Yvonne and Gerard came from Holland to live in South Africa in 1996 and are therefore well aware of European standards and hospitality.
In our entertainment area you can enjoy DSTV (Satellite TV), Home Theatre, Video, or just enjoy a drink at our well stocked bar; run as a honesty bar you can be the barman and enjoy a tot or two of your favourite tipple. A good selection of books, videos and DVD's are also available.
Meals (lunch and dinner) are served on request only (we do not run a commercial restaurant). Enjoy Dinner, a Braai (South African Barbeque) or Chinese Braai in our Boma at the crackling campfire, whilst listening to the night sounds of Africa and gazing up into the star-strewn skies. Dinner can also be served in our elegant Dining Room. Alternatively transport to restaurants in the area can be arranged too.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
