Area Info

Many of our guests comment that it has a uniquely “Out of Africa” feel. It is an exclusive and intimate guest lodge with understated, elegant interiors. The lodge, an hour’s drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria, falls within a world heritage site.

Guests have access to a kilometre of the magnificent mountain range on the estate, for walks and hiking.

The entire estate is situated within the proclaimed Magaliesberg Nature Reserve. It is full of natural bush vegetation, including thousands of wild protea trees, and has extensive natural game including bushbuck, nyala, zebra, impala, blesbuck, steenbuck, duiker, mountain reedbuck, warthogs, baboons, monkeys and leopard.

Birdlife is extensive. There are frequent sightings of eagles and vultures from a nearby cliff colony. Jackal and hyena cries, baboon barks and sounds of the surrounding wildlife are prolific.

Steynshoop Mountain Lodge and Game Farm provides the ideal break from city life and stress - drift off to the sounds of the African bush and awaken to a chorus of birds. Enjoy a quiet drink and look out for the game coming to drink at the waterhole, overlooked by the gazebo. Watch our ranging troop of baboons play on the lawns next to the waterhole. If you wish to discover totally private tranquillity with superior service Steynshoop Mountain Lodge is a rare find.
