The Mountain Country House - Accommodation in Broederstroom,
North West Province, South Africa

The Mountain Country House is situated on one of the prime sites in the environs of Johannesburg and Pretoria on a hill overlooking a valley with a spectacular view of the Magaliesburg mountains. It is hard to believe that only 40 mins from either Johannesburg and Pretoria one finds a place of such peace and tranquillity surrounded by unspoilt indigenous bush. One is struck by the silence, no traffic noise, only the occasional bark of a baboon or the call of a jackal at night. The Mountain Country House are situated 40 minutes north of Monte Casino near the Hartebeespoort Dam, close to Lanseria Airport and on the way to Sun City and the  Pilansberg Game Reserve.
