Less than one hour's drive from Johannesburg, tucked in the foothills of the Swartkops Mountain Range, lies Malina Country Lodge & Fishing Estate.
The 120 hectare estate situated in the heart of The Cradle of Humankind Natural Heritage Site encompasses natural spring-fed dams, the Blaaubankspruit River, poplar forests and natural rocky outcrops with far-reaching views over the Swartkops Valley.
The 3 bed roomed house with large open-plan living areas makes an ideal getaway for couples, families or groups of friends.
A covered wooden deck wraps around half the house, and creates a unique zone where natural beauty and creature comforts effortlessly combine.
Stretch out on an upholstered chaise lounge to absorb the warmth of the African sun or take a dip in the inviting swimming pool to cool down.
Sink into the comfort of generous armchairs to watch the changing hues of the Swartkops mountains at sunset, or sit at the expansive dining table to paint a watercolor of the swaying poplar trees.
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with stylish chrome appliances, hand made crockery, cutlery, glassware and cooking utensils - everything you need to conjure up your own culinary delights.
Continental or English breakfast is available by request with prior arrangement and is served on the magnificent covered deck overlooking a natural spring-fed dam.
Whether you wish to unwind on the estate or to explore the Cradle of Humankind, we will assist you in any way possible.
Let us organize a massage in one of the many secluded spots on the property, or treat you to sundowners that afford you sweeping views of the Swartkops Valley.
We can assist you in your exploration of the surrounding areas by booking horse-back safaris in The Cradle Nature Reserve, excursions to the Sterkfontein or Wonder Caves, or day-trips to the nearby Rhino & Lion Park.
We look forward to helping you create a truly unique and enjoyable experience.
