Staying Home for the Holidays — 'STAYCATION'!

Staycation is sweeping through countries in Europe and the USA.
         South Africa is not insulated from the global financial crisis, but we all still need to take a break every year — BUT somehow economise wherever we can. The cost of travel (air, sea etc) to most European holidaying countries make up almost half the total cost of the holiday! Fortunately for us, we have a greater selection of holiday or short-break options than most count
         The Magalies Meander, on the doorstep of Gauteng's main cities, offers a greater variety of options for a holiday or short break than any other tourism route in SA. Most of our venues offer specials during the winter months and even into spring and summer.
         You don't have to incur high costs of travel to enjoy a well-earned break! Come and enjoy typical Magalies Meander friendliness and hospitality at our annual Magaliesberg Classic Country Festival over Heritage Day in September. It promises to be another WOW this year!
         Keep a close eye on this web-site! Come West for the Best!

The sheer natural and un-spoilt beauty of the area along the majestic Magaliesberg mountains with its rivers, valleys and indigenous forests provides us with the perfect attraction for a get-away from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life in the main urban centres of Gauteng.

Within an hour’s drive from your City environment, you’ll reach one of the most scenic destinations in South Africa to take time out to enjoy a great variety of interests and activities…and to relax.

Over a hundred members of the Magalies Meander have created a wonderful variety of accommodation and hospitality venues ( all graded ), adventure activities, sports events and recreation, country shopping, health spa’s and wellness venues, arts and crafts centres, history and cultural centres. It is a haven for nature-lovers too.

There’s nothing quite like the Magalies Meander on the door-step of your City environment!

Our motto is “There are no strangers here – only friends we haven’t met “.

We can’t wait to meet you!

Rediscover the cradle of evolution, where over thousands of years a succession of societies have lived, farmed, hunted and clashed in incessant violent wars. Observe some of the most famous territorial and religious battle sites to date including the South African war of 1899 to 1902, leaving behind nothing but bitter memories, simple graves and tumbled ruins of old fortifications.

Wallow in the indigenous beauty of the region that remained unscathed, where with peace came the return of scientists and naturalists. And discover why the Magaliesburg continues to be a sanctuary from urban life stress, a haven of natural and cultural history and a gift of eternal wealth for all.

"There are no strangers here, only friends we haven’t met".
