About

A quick and easy getaway from the bustling hub of Fourways, Amaqele is a relaxing country experience. And there's plenty of peace and quiet and s-p-a-c-e to really unwind. The choice of accommodation is also flexible: spacious ensuite rooms on a bed & breakfast basis, complete with TV, bar fridge, tea & coffee facilities, hairdryers (one also has a kitchenette); and/or executive/family suites. You may also prefer to self-cater.

The set up is a sprawling one - each unit or room enjoys privacy with its own entrance and a private verandah. The cottages are free-standing and have their own private piece of landscaped garden. The result is a homely, exclusive space where you can escape to the serenity of nature and the music of birdsong at the end of a busy day - be it business, shopping or visting the city sights.

Sigrid is calm and welcoming and very happy to help make your stay as pleasant as possible and she'd gladly assist with any special requests you may have. Breakfasts are served in the cheerful dining room. The gardens are landscaped and there's a welcoming pool for those hot, lazy summer days!

And yes, Sigrid speaks both English and German.

Why visit Amaqele Country Lodge

Best Features: There's just a quiet, unfussed air about the place. No one's falling over you to organise your life, but Sigrid will gladly help in anyway she can.

Bear In Mind: You'll need to drive at least 5 kms to the nearest shops. It's more of a quiet sanctuary so you won't find hectic parties and action.
