Description

 The Homestead is a 3 star tranquil hideaway,’Home from Home’,situated in the quiet sanctuary of Geluksburg .It is three and half hours from Johannesburg and Bloemfontein and three hours from Durban thereby making it the ideal venue for conferences, functions, weddings , family get togethers  and journey stop overs. The Homestead is centrally situated to major attractions in the World Heritage Site of the Northern and Central Drakensberg such as The Royal Natal National Park and Amphitheatre,the Cathedral Peak and Didima area, Champagne Castle Valley, Spionkop Game Reserve and the major Anglo-Boerwar Battlesites of Spionkop, Ladysmith and Colenso. Nearby one can go quad-biking, tackle 4 x 4 trails (Beziudenhout’s Pass) and visit Quaggashoek Game Ranch where one can enjoy a splendid 3 hour Game drive and see white and black rhino, Giraffe, hippos, buffalo zebra, blesbok, eland and much more. A unique feature of this area is “The Lost Valley” in which up until the mid 1950’s a “White Tribe” lived in extremely primitive circumstances. It is here that one can identify some of the 133 bird species that have been recorded in this area.
