KoelenRust Estate nestles in a lush garden amongst large trees in the quiet valley of Muldersdrift in the West Rand. The tranquility and peace will take you far from the city lights. Yet, it is only 30 minutes drive from Johannesburg, Pretoria or Sandton and 10 minutes from Lanseria International Airport. This is your ideal breakaway in the country, be it pleasure or business.

koelenrust2

A conference at KoelenRust provides a distinctive country experience. The meeting room is situated in the garden and offers complete privacy because of the exclusive use of the entire lodge during the company’s stay.

The lodge is suitable for adults who want to relax in a calm and peaceful location on weekends. Rediscover the art of doing nothing – whether you go for a walk to enjoy nature, enjoy a real bushveld braai in the boma, relax next to the pool, cuddle up with a book. KoelenRust Estate is the place to relax.

For the more adventurous, KoelenRust is the perfect place to use as your home base for outings to the tourist attractions in the area, The Crocodile Ramble, well known for its variety of fascinating places to visit. Included among these are The Cradle of Humankind with the Maropeng Centre, Sterkfontein Caves, the Lion and Rhino Nature Reserve, Wonder Cave, Heia Safari Ranch with its exciting Sunday afternoon traditional dancing spectacular, and the Crocodile Ramble’s growing range arts and craft shops and art galleries,.

The natural setting of the conference room – in the garden amongst towering, shady trees – inspires creativity and is therefore ideal for mini conferences, workshops, training, informal meetings, corporate incentives, director breakaways and retreats. This unique venue offers complete privacy in a country style set-up for smaller groups, away from the office..

The meeting room is situated in the garden which will ensure complete privacy and seclusion from the outside world. An entirely different environment to a conference room in a city hotel.

The conference room can accommodate up to 60 day delegates or 30 overnight delegates sharing. Traditional South African meals and teas are served in the Lapa next to the pool or in the open air Boma. These areas are also ideal for team building or breakaway group sessions
