If there name is an indication of what they are all about – Rustig Lodge is beautifully nestled in the mountains of Magaliesberg – roughly 45 minutes drive from Johannesburg and, as it’s name implies, is…well..Rustig!
A well-established family farm, which was started in 1930 and was initially a cattle and tobacco farm back in the day, Rustig has grown and expanded – however the original farm house is now a national heritage monument and their are awesome additions such as the huge pool, hikers quarters and large function venue.
Perfectly situated on the well known Magalies Meander and set under the striking Magaliesberg mountain range, Rustig offers those who need some time off from the hectic city pace some quiet time, and is also home to many enthusiastic hikers over the weekends, their unbeatable hiking trails are well known and are perfect for everyone – from amateur to very experienced hikers.
Day trippers are welcome, but many come to spend a few days – either in the tented camps or the hiker’s dormitories or if you are feeling slightly more in need of some homely comforts you can even spend the evening in the old farm house which has been beautifully maintained, but still has that old world feel.
If breakfast in the bush and picnics on the beautiful garden terrace lawns or by the pool and game viewing of the farm’s rare breeds sounds like your thing – then you are in the right place.
Rustig features a 25-metre solar-heated swimming pool and lunch facilities, inviting family and friends to spend a day enjoying the old farm and as a wedding, conference or even a team building venue out of the city, this is just the ticket.
Ample and secure parking abound and visitors as well as guests will feel right at home in this slice of paradise.
