Boutique hotels are not for overnight accommodation as you head somewhere. These are premium establishments one goes to unwind and spoil themselves to all the good things money can afford in a quiet setting.
Valley Lodge & Spa at Magaliesburg is such venue. The award winning four star hotel gets its name as it is nestled in the Magaliesberg valley. The two spellings for Magalies should not be confusing: Magaliesberg refers to the mountains and the areas around the range traversing western Gauteng and neighbouring North West province. Magaliesburg is the town located in the valley cut by the Magalies River.
Because of its mountainous setting, the Valley Spa’s location is interlaced with rivers and streams, which fuel the indigenous vegetation and the abundance of animal and bird life. All these factors combine to provide an ideal escape for any occasion. Every need is catered for, from individuals or couples or family outings, or special occasions such as weddings and other types of functions, including conferencing.
eight venues, all with natural light, are available for these activities, and can accommodate up to 150 delegates for all types of meetings. All these function/meeting venues offer modern facilities and are located among the lush greenery, to add to the inspiration the lodge offers.
There are 76 luxuriously furnished rooms and suites, available in three room categories. The rooms are individually air-conditioned, equipped with under-floor heating in the bathrooms, electric blankets on the beds, tea/coffee station as well as a mini bar fridge.
Other facilities Valley Lodge & Spa offers are a pool, a floodlit tennis court and hiking trails. There’s also a pub-style main bar with a billiard table and dart board. The Spa area offers an indoor heated mineral pool, a hot tub, steam rooms and a fully equipped gym overlooking the garden.
Guests also have access to plenty other facilities and activities in the surrounding area, notably the Cradle of Humankind and the Sterkfontein Caves.
Luxury is everything and for that fact competition is stiff among facilities offering such accommodation. But when you are at the Valley Lodge & Spa, you know you move with the best as the lodge is the recent recepient of the prestigious Gold Award for providing the best Overall Accommodation, best Spa Experience and best Tourism Establishment throughout the West Rand by the Westrand Tourism authority.
The lodge is located 29km north-west of Krugersdorp, along the R24 (Rustenburg Rd).
