Kievits Kroon Country Estate

Kievits Kroon Country Estate is an award-winning country retreat located just outside of Pretoria, approximately 45 minutes from Sandton. It offers 142 elegant rooms, either in a classic or modern Cape Dutch style. The estate is synonymous with style and elegance, and provides an ideal hideaway for romantic weekends or corporate groups seeking a business experience away from the city's hustle and bustle.

The Executive Rooms feature impressive contemporary artworks from the estate's community project, Ithuta. This project involves training talented children from Leeuwfontein Primary, a no-fee school in need of skills development, by artist Zelda Susan. All funds generated through the project are directed towards the upliftment of the school.

Guests can enjoy the lush grounds and tranquil atmosphere, paired with the estate's unsurpassed hospitality and luxury facilities. Kievits Kroon has won the AA Travel Awards in the category "Country Style Retreat - Large" for three consecutive years, earning it 'Hall of Fame' status in 2011. This award is significant as it reflects the opinions of the guests.

In line with the hotel's wellness theme, Kievits Kroon's conference experience not only engages the senses but also leaves delegates more productive and energized. The conference rooms are airy, and the conference center is subtly enhanced by a signature combination of aromatherapy oils that promote calm, creative thought, and positivity. With 17 conference rooms suitable for various meetings, conferences, or functions, the estate can accommodate between 100 and 200 delegates.

Kievits Kroon's gourmet offering caters to even the most discerning guests. The 50-seater signature restaurant, Granita, offers a choice of gourmet experiences, including a six-course food and wine pairing with accommodation through the True Romance Gourmet package, a five-course Sunday lunch, or a dinner with family and friends in the 10-seater Granita cellar. The estate also produces its own Kievits Kroon Sauvignon Blanc and Grand Rouge wines, and its wine list was selected as a Diamond Award winner in the Diners Club International Wine List of the Year Awards in 2009 and 2010.

As the seasons change, Kievits Kroon's Wellness Spa offers a haven of calm and holistic wellness associated with a stay at the estate. Designed to meet European standards, the spa features one of Gauteng's most sophisticated thermal treatment facilities with steam rooms, saunas, Jacuzzis, Swiss showers, and plunge pools. Tailor-made treatments ensure guests leave feeling relaxed and revitalized.

Outdoor activities at Kievits Kroon include lawn croquet and giant chess in the landscaped gardens. Guests can sip signature Martinis by the sparkling pool while taking in the lush garden views or curl up with a book and glass of wine in Library Bar 41. The estate's modern and spacious interiors, housed in a stylish Cape Dutch-style two-story building, feature a subtle mix of soft furnishings, ambient lighting, and contemporary furniture.
