Are you in need of a warm and
relaxed getaway in the country? Within an hour from Johannesburg or
Pretoria, nestled in the hills of the Magaliesberg, on a private
mountain bushveld farm, with stunning views, is Stone Hill
Accommodation:
Perched high above the distant village of Magaliesburg, we offer
seven top class, fully equipped luxurious self-catering timber
cottages, accommodating from two to eight guests each. All have open
plan lounges with log fireplaces, fully fitted kitchens, bedrooms
and full bathrooms. Each is individually fenced for pets and each
has a large verandah and braai area.
All the cottages are separate and private and are at least 20 metres
from each other. We are family and pet friendly and we welcome all
breeds of house trained and socialized dogs.
The small splash pool is central and within easy reach and the view
down the valley is breathtaking.
Stone Hill facilities are designed and equipped to give you the
feeling of home from home and to make your stay that much more
comfortable. There are TV’s in all of cottages with selected DSTV
channels for your entertainment.
Activities and
Attractions:
There is a 5 km walking trail on the farm for your use, with eight
benches along the way so that one can catch one’s breathe and take
in the peace and tranquillity. Please remember to pack water bowls
for your dogs and cool drinks for the walk!
Stone Hill is located in Magaliesburg which is in the Cradle of
Humankind! We are close to a number of restaurants and a very good
supermarket too.
Visiting pets are very welcome to Stone Hill and are permitted by
arrangement. We accept most dogs so long as they are fully
socialized, are able to play with other dogs and of course house
trained!
The Magaliesberg are almost 100 times older than the Himalayas and
the area is historically and archaeologically rich. It is here that
Mankind originated, in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site.
Today there is still evidence of Stone Age and Iron Age early man to
be found. Stone Hill is only 11 kms from Maropeng Visitor’s Centre
and 15 kms from the Sterkfontein Caves.
Over the centuries, many wars have been waged across the hills, the
most recent being the Anglo Boer War. At Stone Hill, a site has been
found from that period and the pieces are displayed for visitors who
may be interested. The collection is dated somewhere between 1899 to
1902.

hear the call of the jackals.
The perfect escape! Stone Hill is a wonderful cure for stressed city
living!
