| If
you are looking for peace, tranquility and a luxurious
atmosphere we invite you to be our guest at the African
Lodge, nestled in a leafy suburb north of Johannesburg
(South Africa) and situated on a little piece of paradise
in Buccleuch, the undiscovered jewel of Sandton, midway
between the N1 (from Pretoria and Roodepoort/Cape Town),
the N3 (from Durban and Johannesburg International Airport).
This makes our Guest Lodge very well located for both
the Business person and the Tourist who want the tranquility
of the country and easy access to Sandton, Johannesburg,
Woodmead, Midrand, Bryanston, Rivonia, Fourways, Sunninghill,
Linbro Park and Pretoria.
Your hosts, Yvonne and Gerard van Schendel invite you
to share their little paradise. Yvonne and Gerard came
from Holland to live in South Africa in 1996 and are
therefore well aware of European standards and hospitality.
The safe property (with electric fence) is set on 4.000
m2 indigenous gardens, overlooking a sparkling pool,
surrounded by an abundance of bird life. The whole atmosphere
at African Lodge is heartfelt, friendly and highly luxurious.
Awake to the calls of the birds and enjoy a scrumptious
breakfast in our Dining Room with double opening doors
overlooking the garden, the pool and the fishpond. Stroll
in the gardens and enjoy the fresh air and peace of
the country, whilst only ten minutes away of Sandton,
South Africa’s premier business and entertainment
centre, as well as Sandton City shopping centre. Return
from a busy day in the city and relax over a cool drink
at our Bar, with the tinkling sound of the water from
the fishpond in the background.
