Welgelegen Manor

Welgelegen Manor, a magnificently restored estate designed by the iconic South African architect Sir Herbert Baker in 1913, is situated in the tranquil farmlands of Balfour, Mpumalanga, approximately an hour's drive from Johannesburg. It offers an ideal getaway for a country-house weekend, a small conference, or an intimate garden wedding.

Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a sense of peace and tranquility that echoes through the reception rooms, which feature original fireplaces for cold winter nights. The estate features spacious, luxury guest suites designed to cater to every comfort and enhance the style and elegance of yesteryear.

Guests can soak up the sun next to the large, sparkling pool, enjoy a drink in the cozy bar, or engage in activities such as billiards or board games in the games room. For book lovers, the "Ladies Lounge" or the secluded courtyard provide an ideal setting to enjoy a good book and a cup of tea with home-baked treats.

Welgelegen Manor is renowned for its wine cellar, which features a host of fine vintage wines that can be enjoyed with the fine dining experience offered on the premises. Additional activities available include team building, a golf driving range, croquet, billiards, board games, and bird watching, making it a perfect setting for an intimate garden wedding.

The upper level features twin suites with either single beds or a king-size bed, each with an en-suite bathroom.
