Away from the hustle and bustle of the city in the Magaliesberg Biosphere Reserve, (a 360 000 hectare natural green lung, encompassing farmland, small holdings and a number of reserves and conservancies,) Ntsu Lodge waits to welcome you to its world of tranquillity. Just over an hour's drive from both Pretoria and Johannesburg, (about 100kms,) and only half an hour from Rustenburg (about 25kms), Ntsu Lodge nestles in the rolling hills overlooking a kloof and stream, with the restful presence of the Magaliesberg Mountains as it’s backdrop. Surrounded by 25 hectares of pristine bush, which is home to a rich diversity of fauna and flora, this country estate is a place of incredible scenic beauty, where one can replenish the mind, body and spirit; and re-connect with nature. The thatched timber Lodge consists of two large floors, the lower of which is glass (floor to roof) or open on three sides, and the upper floor, which is 128m² of open plan space built into the roof, provides magnificent views of the valley and mountains in the distance. The lower floor has two large én suite bedrooms, a guest toilet, kitchen and living area. The tranquil setting of the traditional Boma and braai area is only a short walk from the house and provides unrivalled views of the Milky Way and stars on a clear night. Situated only 15kms from the Kgaswane Mountain Nature Reserve, and less than that from the Vulture Valley Conservancy, the estate sports a healthy population of birds, reptiles, insects and small game. The bird life in the area is supreme, with more than 40% of Southern Africa's bird species seen in the region. This completely “off the grid” property is ideal if you are looking to live outside of town, as a weekend getaway destination, or company bosberaad location.
