Why self cater?
Self-catering is often cheaper per capita than other forms of accommodation. Meals
are not included in the rate, but cooking equipment is supplied for goodies you source
in Magaliesburg shops.
Self-catering establishments featured on the Magalies Meander have to comply with
the requirements of a quality assurance body like the Tourism Grading Council of
South Africa (TGCSA) or AA Travel. Gradings are usually linked to the quality of
furniture, fittings and equipment, service hours and guest facilities.
Which venues match your needs?
The variety of Magaliesburg self-catering accommodation venues caters for all tastes
and recreational needs.
- Cyclists are welcome at Railway Lodges, which rent out old station buildings and
railway workers’ houses. Fly-fishing fans might prefer staying at Kingfishers on
the R24 in 2-bedroom chalets with DSTV and picnic amenities for the family.
- Adventure sport fans are likely to want the outdoor horseback and quad bike action
offered by Hollybrooke Farm and be happy to rough it using shared basic cooking and
refrigeration facilities.
- Families are most likely to be seeking a self-catering venue with entertainment for
children and possibly separate accommodation for the grandparents. Barton Folly Cottages
fits the bill with its large house that can accommodate two families plus a separate
cottage for a couple. The accommodation has DSTV, is well appointed and comfortable.
There is a playground for children.
- Pet owners appreciate the individually fenced areas of the timber family cottages
with fireplaces at Stone Hill, overlooking the village of Magaliesburg. Small splash
pool and 5km hiking trail for guests. Be aware - No passing or turn-around on the
rock-lined access road.
- Outdoor-loving adults seeking peace and tranquility with no TV or radio plus the
opportunity to hike in the mountains are ideal candidates for a stay at Mountain
Sanctuary Park nature reserve near Buffelspoort Dam. Game viewing is excellent on
a self-catering stay at Mahikeng Lodge and Ithaba Thulile.
There are many more venues available. Just seek the activity you want on the Forum
web page and you will find the Magaliesburg accommodation what you need!
