The Barnyard Theatre Cresta

Galleries and Museums in Cresta

Friendship, good food, wine and brilliant entertainment – the Barnyard Theatre in Cresta is where it all comes together. The first Barnyard Theatre started as a homely, rustic farm theatre in Plettenberg Bay where friends and family could be entertained and eat, drink and talk into the small hours of the morning. It proved to be such a winner that more Barnyard Theatres started popping up all over the country. There are currently 12 Barnyard Theatres in South Africa. While each theatre is a product of its individual setting, they all retain the quaint rustic charm of the original farm theatre’s humble beginning.

Liliesleaf Farm

Galleries and Museums in Rivonia

Lilliesleaf Farm is an insightful and interactive museum experience. It was at Liliesleaf farm that the most prominent leaders of South Africa’s struggle against Apartheid sought shelter, attended meetings and debated political and military strategy. Some of these included Nelson Mandela, Govan Mbeki, Walter Sisulu, Ahmed Kathrada, Bram Fischer, Joe Slovo, Ruth First, Raymond Mhaba, Rusty Bernstein, Bob Hepple, Harold Wolpe, and Denis Goldberg. Many of these individuals were discovered in the police’s raid on Liliesleaf farm, and tried in the subsequent Rivonia Treason Trial. They were to later spend over 25 years in prison. "Liliesleaf was an old house that needed work and no one lived there. I moved in under the pretext that I was a houseboy or caretaker that would live there until my master took possession. I had taken the alias David Motsamayi, the name of one of my former clients. At the farm, I wore the simple blue overalls that were the uniform of the black male servant." Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom. Voted as one of the BEST new tourism projects in the world at the “British Guild of Travel Writers Annual Awards 2010”.

Lonehill Nature Reserve

Nature Reserves in Lonehill

The Lonehill Nature Reserve stands out as a lone hill on the northern border of Jozi's suburbs, some 28km north of the city centre. It is a reminder of what Johannesburg used to look like before it was settled: rocky veld with small streams trickling through it, dotted with shrubs, small trees and knee-high grasses. A popular walk about 200m north of the hill is a small dam called Lonehill Loch. A short walk up will bring you to the top with views of the city. The area is fenced and locked, but unlocked on the weekends, allowing hikers and picnickers to climb to the hilltop, or just lay out a picnic blanket in the surrounding grassy area. Lonehill is also an extremely significant Stone Age site – it has three Stone Age furnaces dating to 1600. Bits of slag have been found near the site of the furnaces, on large flat rocks with indentations in them, obviously used for grinding. Near the furnace site is another area where pottery was manufactured, fenced like the furnace area.
