Our hotel by night

Steal away from the hurley-burley of the city and escape to the intimacy, peace and tranquility of the country – less than an hour’s drive from Jo’burg and Pretoria.

The Maropeng Hotel, with breathtaking views of the Witwatersberg and Magaliesberg ranges, opened its doors to the public on June 01 2006.

‘Maropeng’, is a Setswana word meaning ‘returning to the place of origin’ and this was kept in mind when the interiors of the hotel were designed. The four elemental forces of nature, earth, fire, water and ice that kick-started our planet some 3-billion years ago feature prominently in the overall look.

The 24-bedroom four star boutique hotel is the epitome of true luxury and is a five minute walk from South Africa ’s premiere tourist destination, the Tumulus visitor attraction and 10 km (6 mi) from the Sterkfontein Caves.

Enjoy a restful night sleep in one of the 10 King, 13 twin rooms or the 1 fully equipped paraplegic bedroom. The hotel can accommodate up to 48 people.

The Maropeng Hotel is ideal for a romantic getaway or for executives seeking a convenient conference venue with accommodation not too far out of town. 

Maropeng also caters for larger groups, such as students and learners, at Hominid House.
