Rooms and Suites

The country house offers air-conditioned units with a desk, kettle, minibar, safety deposit box, TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Each room includes a dressing room and a seating area. The garden suite is spacious, with top-quality bed linen and a marble bathroom. Some rooms overlook the formal gardens or the pool area.

Dining and Breakfast

A Full English/Irish breakfast is served with warm dishes, fruits, and juice. The on-site restaurant offers a bar, wine/champagne, and special diet menus. Dinner options include fillet steak and hamburgers, though consistency may vary - staff have been known to drive to a bottle store if specific drinks are not stocked.

Leisure and Activities

Guests have access to an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and billiards. There is also a games room and sun loungers by the pool. The property features well-maintained formal gardens and a peaceful setting with no road noise.

Location and Access

Welgelegen Manor is located on rolling farmland less than 90 minutes from Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo Airport. The long drive up to the manor offers great distant vistas. Engineers Golf Club is 41 km away and Nigel Golf Club 36 km. The manager can guide guests in if GPS fails to locate the property.

Services and Staff

Staff include the manager Connie, Norman, and chef Lindy, who provide attentive service including guided tours of the property's history. Services include airport shuttle, daily housekeeping, laundry, ironing, meeting/banquet facilities, private check-in/check-out, and 24-hour security with CCTV. Free WiFi and free private parking are available.

“Welgelegen Manor is a place that truly feels like stepping back in time, yet with all the comforts one could desire. The manor itself is a historic gem, beautifully maintained, and the grounds are a delight, but it's the genuine warmth of the staff, from Connie the manager to Norman who shares the property's stories, that makes the experience so remarkable. Lindy's culinary creations are a clear highlight, elevating every meal into something special.”
