Just over an hours drive from Johannesburg and only 8 km out of Parys situated amongst picturesque tree-clad Koppies you will find Kopjeskraal Country Lodge.

 

Marvelous birdlife and a working farm atmosphere, far from traffic, lend Kopjeskraal a restful air.

 

Behind the big farmhouse is a Koppie - one of the many in the area after wich the original Kopjeskraal farm was named - that affords 180 degrees views of Dome Bergland with glimpses of the Vaal river.  The river itself lies about 1km from the farm.

 

Featuring a big beautiful farm house, a rondawel and several more double rooms, Kopjeskraal is a perfect escape to tranquility for groups of up to 20 people. The house has become popular for groups looking for an exclusive facility where they can be on their own, like family get togethers, aniversaries, golfing trips, adventure- and corporate groups. Only one booking is accepted at any time. The farm house was built in 1948 and has recently been renovated and fitted with furniture and fittings from that time period. This is not your typical guesthouse you would find in town. Farmstay is probably more descriptive of the type of accommodation you would find at Kopjeskraal.

Dome Tours are presented on the property as well as eco adventure activities like quadbike rides, paintball and adventure games, absailing, archery etc. The Information Centre from where Vredfort Dome Tours are presented can seat 60 people.

There is also a Bush Lapa with capasity for group functions of up to 60 people.

Christo and Gerda Meyer own Kopjeskraal and are the kind of hosts you always hoped to meet - welcoming, homely and full of stories.  Christo is a member of the Dome Conservancy and can tell you all about efforts to preserve this wilderness area from the assaults of mining houses, developers, and yes, tourism.
