We have accommodation options that will suit the needs of couples, friends, families or larger groups and boast a range of tours, trails and adventures that will suit every visitors taste.
The mountains that surround the Vaal River was created 2023 million years ago when a massive meteorite struck earth with a devastating blow. This event made the Vredefort Dome a World Heritage site in 2005 for being the largest and oldest identifiable meteorite impact structure in the world.
The rebound effect of the meteorite impact completly overturned the rock layers bringing gold bearing conglomerates closer to the surface. It once was believed that the gold in the mountains surrounding Venterskroon was richer than the Johannesurg goldfields. The area is full of history ranging form bushman etchings to Anglo-Boer war battlesites. One truly gets a scope into the life of Southern Africa when visiting this historical area.
