Idwala Le Ingwe
Idwala Le Ingwe can be found sturdily and sound on the Witwatersrand mountains in Hekpoort, offering spectacular views of the valley and the Magaliesburg mountain range.
During the day guests can enjoy the Sable Hiking trail that provides an excellently marked hiking experience. Or, for the wild at heart simply walk up to their bush camp for an unmarked hiking experience in the mountains. During this activity, one can sight the variety of game habituating the premises. However, if you would rather play it safe, there is a Sable Experience Game drive which includes sundowners at the top of the mountain.
After a long day of activities and nature spotting, guests can enjoy their overnight stay at the unique holiday homes. Otherwise, there is the Luxury Tented Bush Camp self-catering accommodation. See here for more.

La Provence D’Afrique
Situated in the beautiful Magaliesberg valley, La Provence d’Afrique is a unique compilation of seven French-styled suites. The accommodation is inside the stone studio of the well-known sculptor, Charles Gotthard, which grants it that old European theme.
It’s safe to say that as guests arrive, they will feel as though they travelled all the way to France by only driving less than an hour out of Johannesburg. The venue flaunts classical and beautiful sculptures, water features and fireplaces, all complemented with French-themed décor inside European architecture.
La Provence d’Afrique also has a vast and luscious garden that runs up to the Berg River and surrounding forest. The reason this is worth mentioning is that it warrants the opportunity for a romantic picnic. Guests can also enjoy a hearty breakfast outside in the garden at the allocated seats or head out to the little Zen spa for a couple’s massage.
