5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

Great service (unintrusive and affable), great food (different menu on each night), wonderfully comfortable (both bed and bathroom). All rooms come with semi-private view out onto Magaliesberg Mountains. No criticisms about this place. We took advantage of the package deal which included half board and a combined ticket to the Maropeng Centre and Sterkfontein Caves.

Last Year myself and partner stayed at the Maropeng Hotel for 1 night. This was a very nice stay and we would definitely go back. The service was fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and specious, very clean and well decorated. We had dinner and breakfast in the Restaurant and it was simply delicious. The views from the rooms are stunning... More

Rooms are spacious & well maintained. Staff very friendly. Great views of the Magaliesberg mountains Surrounding the hotel. Very serene you can hear the birds singing in the morning. Breakfast was good but can be improved. Bed seemed to be old as it was creaking. Overall had an awesome girls weekend away with my sister, surrounded by simplicity of nature

My girlfriend and I spent a weekend at the hotel and found it to be a nice little place just outside of Johannesburg. It is definitely worth checking if you are looking for a peaceful place to recharge your batteries. The location is great with stunning views of the Magalies mountain range from the room. Chech in earlier so as... More

We stayed 1 night, got there for sundowners, amazing views. We didn't like the location of the room and without hesitation we where moved to a room we preferred. Enjoyed some wine on our private patio with a view and took in the silence.

My fiancé and I spent a lovely evening at Maropeng last weekend – the view from the bedroom really is fantastic! The setting and style of the hotel are superb – modern but still with an African flavour. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and helped us set up the Wi-Fi in our room (which is free). We only... More

We went for a weekend break with a voucher which gave us a double for 600 rand. At that price it was good value, though I wouldn't be keen to pay the rack rate of around 1,100 rand ppn. The hotel is in a stunning location in the Cradle of Humankind, and is well designed so every room looks out... More

The comfort of a 4-star hotel in the tranquil peace of the African bush. The staff offer that typical African friendliness, the rooms are comfortable and the quietness is deafening. My only complaint about this hotel is the menu versus the actual food - a tiramisu should at least have coffee in it and should not taste like packet caramel... More

First of all, great views. I stayed at this hotel over Christmas 2011 with my family. When I arrived the hotel was completely empty. Not a lot happening. Later more people arrived but the hotel retained its desolated feel. So excellent of you come to escape from city hectic. Not so suitable for a family with kids. The low point... More

‘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.
