Mount Grace Hotel and Spa is the perfect countryside destination for recharging. Situated amidst the mountains of Magaliesburg, it’s an exceptional getaway where you can reconnect with Mother Nature
Just an hour and a half from Johannesburg, the hotel is a charming blend of classic style, elegant luxury and natural serenity. It boasts impressive construction and structural engineering, and the concept of integrating the mountainous landscape, stones and trees in creating the hotel worked splendidly, not least because you can do bird watching from your verandah. Also, the mountain walkways and undisturbed sounds of birds and monkeys roaming the grounds around the hotel are just perfect for helping you trade crowded city skylines for sweeping views.
These superb views are complemented by four on-site dining experiences to satisfy every culinary craving – from classic dining to country-style buffets and healthy seasonal fare.
The Rambling Vine is renowned as a delight for foodies in search of an enchanting dining experience and never fails to impress with the hand-picked selection of South African wines from their cellar. Also on site is Twist Restaurant, a countryside restaurant with breathtaking views serving a tasty buffet of homemade bread, pastries, jams and lavender delights. Dinner is served occasionally, so make sure to enquire with the staff. At the Terrace and Stoep you can enjoy a refreshing cup of tea, craft gin and tonic or a delicious à la carte Sunday lunch. There is also an in-house bar where guests can enjoy time out from a busy day in Magaliesburg.
The conference facilities are fully equipped with world-class resources and can host small to big groups. There are 14 elegant venues that will cater for all your conference needs as well as two executive boardrooms for exclusive meetings. The Rosewood Chamber with room for up to 160 guests allows you to host any type of event you can wish for. As for hosting events, the hotel has a TV production service provider and also offers videoconferencing facilities. Their rates and packages are designed to make an ordinary event a memorable one.
The award-winning Mount Grace Spa also houses a wellness centre that includes a gym, steam room and therapy baths. Here you will experience the soothing scents of lavender surrounded by inspiring mountain views as skilled therapists administer holistic treatments such as body scrubs, body wraps, couple’s massages, facials, hair and scalp treatments, manicures/pedicures and massages. Other amenities include a fitness centre and plunge pools.
While at the spa, replenish your body, mind and soul at Mount Grace Spa Café with its wholesome menu featuring fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables − perfect for a rejuvenating meal after your spa session.
The rooms and suites are designed with luxury in mind and are sanctuaries of comfort and style. The views from the rooms on either side are amazing, and at their rates, you are guaranteed to find a comfortable room. The hotel has two-bedroom units while luxury rooms cater for every family’s needs. And for that special moment, treat yourself to an upgrade to a romantic villa with panoramic views and a private plunge pool.
The hotel is family friendly as they have enough space catering for kids, as well as a swimming pool and tennis court for that morning exercise session or late afternoon game. Taking a stroll within the hotel grounds will burn a lot of kilojoules, but you will not really notice the strain on your muscles because of the beautiful scenery.
Other local attractions a few minutes’ drive from the hotel are the popular Cradle of Humankind, Sterkfontein Caves, Montecasino and Key West Shopping Centre, to mention a few. Arrange with the friendly hotel staff for transport and enjoy.
This is a place to celebrate that special event with your loved one. Imagine a romantic evening watching the stars and listening to the perfect harmony of the sounds of the night around you while the lights of Magaliesburg are beckoning. Welcome to Mount Grace.
