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.
