Detailed description

The Lodge has been open to the public since July 2003 and in one short year achieved a 5 star rating from the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.

The lodge can accommodate 10 people in 3 individual chalets, and one luxury double unit. Each unit has a private viewing deck, a full luxurious bath, as well as indoor and outdoor showers. The luxury double unit boasts 2 bedrooms (both with en-suite bathrooms), a central sitting room and a jacuzzi.

The units stretch 200 meters along a ridge with spectacular views over a game-rich plain and private waterhole to the Waterburg Mountains in the distance. The main lodge houses an outstanding living area, dining room, full-scale kitchen and an expansive Teak deck that includes a small plunge pool.

The gymnasium and steam room below the deck looks out on to the plains. A beautifully decorated unit that serves as an entertainment and conference area is situated a few meters from the main lodge. The lodge was designed and decorated by well-known South African designers whose work includes Singita and Tswalu lodges. Mhondoro is renowned for its outstanding cuisine which can be described as African Fusion.

The lodge boasts 3 qualified and acclaimed chef's who strive to please even the fussiest of pallets - succeeding every time

Welgevonden Game Reserve, situated in the heart of the Waterberg, boasts 42 000 hectares of unspoilt, malaria free bushveld. Welgevonden is a Dutch word meaning WELL FOUNDED. The area will soon expand to approx 100,000 hectares with game fences being removed between Marakele National Park and Welgevonden.

The reserve is home to the BIG 5 as well as a vast array of other animals including giraffe, kudu, impala, wildebeest, red hartebeest, tsessebe, gemsbok, waterbuck, wild dogs, honeybadgers and bush pigs and is rich in birdlife.

The area is rich in flora (similar to the fynbos of the Cape) and fauna including wild syringa (Burkea Africana), silver cluster leaf (Terminalia sericea), stamvrug, rock fig (Transvaal Milk Plum), (Ficus abutilifolia), paper bark albizia (Albizia Tanganyicensis) and mosses and ferns.

Welgevonden is a high-end destination for local and overseas travellers and boasts easy access by road and air from Johannesburg and Pretoria.
