Superior Fine Country Estate
Discover the lost art of gracious relaxation and sophisticated elegance at Welgelegen Manor – a little bit of olde worlde country living, nestled in the Mpumalanga Highveld and just an hour's drive from Johannesburg. From taking tea next to the fire in one of our beautifully-appointed private lounges, to choosing your favourite vintage from our premium wine collection, this Herbert Baker designed haven perfectly captures the spirit of understated luxury and personal attention.

Set in the tranquil farmlands of Balfour, Mpumalanga, just an hour's drive from Johannesburg, lies the magnificently restored Welgelegen Manor designed by South Africa's iconic architect, Sir Herbert Baker in 1912. This is the ideal getaway for a country-house weekend, a small conference, or an intimate garden wedding.

A sense of peace and tranquility greets you on arrival, echoing through the reception rooms with original fireplaces for cold winter nights, and spacious, luxury guest suites where every comfort is catered for. Beautifully appointed, the suites have been designed to enhance the style and elegance of yesteryear.

If you're not soaking up the sun next to the large, sparkling pool or having a drink in our cosy bar, have a game of billiards or board games in our games room. For the book worm, the "Ladies Lounge" or our secluded courtyard is ideal to enjoy your own company with a good book and a cup of tea with home baked treats. For the more energetic, practice your swing on our new golf driving range or challenge your friends to a game of croquet.

Welgelegen is renowned for its wine cellar with a host of fine vintage wines. Select yours to enjoy with the fine dining experience offered. Our room rate includes dinner, bed and breakfast, lunch and late afternoon snack, all house wines and cocktails, laundry service, and 18-hour a day room service.
