This beautifully crafted place is timeless and perfect, a retreat, a magical place, a place where effort and thought created a dream come true! The foliage of a lane of beautiful trees will immediately capture you to see this peaceful and special place, a sanctuary that is only an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg. A fountain at “The Stables” will welcome you. With the stables comes a dramatic red velvet bedroom, a four-poster bed, a small kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Two sliding doors open on the green lawns, the horse rings, paddocks, and gardens. A little bit further down is the all-white “Tennis Club”, a small vineyard, and more fountains. The clubhouse has a lounge area, a huge fireplace, a bar area, a full kitchen, and two of the most beautiful pure white bedrooms with bathrooms. Down the road are the most dramatic “Wine Cellars”...
This beautifully crafted place is timeless and perfect, a retreat, a magical place, a place where effort and thought created a dream come true! The foliage of a lane of beautiful trees will immediately capture you to see this peaceful and special place, a sanctuary that is only an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Johannesburg. A fountain at “The Stables” will welcome you. With the stables comes a dramatic red velvet bedroom, a four-poster bed, a small kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Two sliding doors open on the green lawns, the horse rings, paddocks, and gardens. A little bit further down is the all-white “Tennis Club”, a small vineyard, and more fountains. The clubhouse has a lounge area, a huge fireplace, a bar area, a full kitchen, and two of the most beautiful pure white bedrooms with bathrooms. Down the road are the most dramatic “Wine Cellars” double-story high doors that open into a room with a very long table and chairs, a place to taste wine, have long conversations, and appreciate the art of wine. Double doors take you to the beautiful lounge area with a snooker table and space for a wine collection. Then only you will reach the most charming main house. The entrance hall is open and wide, then the guest bathroom and a cinema room next to an outside fountain. The formal lounge, a formal dining room, the kitchen, the informal lounge, and the informal dining area blend together in one big open-plan living area, all opening with stacking doors on the outside gardens, entertainment, and pool area. The kitchen is state of the art with a cold room, a scullery, a pantry, and a smaller back kitchen to prepare food. The sleeping quarters are all upstairs, some with a pajama lounge, but all with en-suite bathrooms and all opening on balconies overlooking the gardens and pool. An age-old tree in the middle of the immaculate gardens is the perfect place to have a light lunch and enjoy the pool, the pool lounge, and the pizza oven. To top it all, you will see the exquisite “Tea House”, surrounded by a small stream, build for tea lovers in the perfect setting.
From the main house, you will be fascinated by the wooden walkway leading to a small forest to come to a stunning place, the pond eventually! The “Wonderfontein Fountain” has its origin here and bubbles water into the pond for many, many years! Fresh healthy water from your own fountain! The walkway stretches over the pond to get you to wooden decks, a jacuzzi, and dressing rooms. A place to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, birdsong, and the sound of water. The pathway goes even further into an intimate forest where a sense of adventure awaits you. Two kids' treehouses high up in the trees, kids' dream playground. Then the riverfront!! The Vaal river flows peacefully but it is also a place for fun, a place to play and relax with boat rides, skiing, or just too slowly drifting downstream. A Lapa with full braai facilities makes it a perfect venue for entertaining family and friends, but also perfect for big or small parties.
This is truly a magical place, extraordinary!
