Deruxa Cottages

Deruxa Cottages are situated on a 21-hectare farm that was acquired by the Moolman family. The family initially moved there for a few years to introduce their children to the outdoors and enhance their quality of living, before moving back to the city. Since then, the facilities on the farm have expanded.

The property is located approximately 40 km north of Pretoria, with a 45-minute drive from the eastern and northern Pretoria regions. It is situated 20 km west of the historical town of Cullinan, which offers various attractions and restaurants.

The farm has been game-fenced, and a few species of game have been introduced. An open-air lapa, conference facilities, kitchen, bar, and ablution facilities have been added to the property. Additionally, there are three free-standing cottages, while the old farmhouse has been refurbished as a self-catering unit for family and weekend breaks.

Deruxa Cottages offers a variety of accommodation options, ranging from self-catering in the old farmhouse to fully catered cottage accommodation. The venue is suitable for families and friends to gather, as well as for businesses to hold small conferences, managerial meetings, and year-end functions. It can accommodate between 30 and 60 guests, with accommodation available for close family members. Catering options, reception areas, and outdoor ceremony areas are provided, although marquees, tents, decor, and table settings are not included but can be arranged upon request.

The game-fenced and electrified farm allows animals to venture close to the units during the day and late afternoon to drink from strategically placed watering holes. A total of 112 bird species have been identified on the farm. The establishment features walk paths, a swimming pool, and a play area. The unit itself is room-only, with no facilities for self-catering. However, air conditioning, tea/coffee-making facilities, and a fireplace are available in the rooms.
