Welcome to the Sky Lodge, a unique stone and thatch getaway in the Hartbeespoort Dam area. The Lodge is situated on 50 Hectares of magnificent mountainside, and offers majestic views of the Hartbeespoort Dam and surrounding Magaliesberg mountains. Guests may choose between our 2 exclusive self-catering lodges on top of the hill - Red Sky lodge or the new Blue Sky Lodge, which are both suitable for larger groups and are near the conference centre, or the smaller Stone suites lower down the mountain. The RED SKY LODGE sits on top of the hill with views that will simply take your breath away. The lodge has 7 superior bedrooms with 6 en-suite bathrooms, 3 with spa baths and can accommodate up to 14 guests in style. There is a large farm style kitchen with big gas stove, lounge with huge stone fireplace and DSTV Hotel bouquet. The covered patio leads out onto a private pool and large wooden viewing deck with a fantastic shade awning to fight off the midday sun. Our latest addition is the fantastic BLUE SKY LODGE, which is a private lodge on top of the hill with 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, including the honey suite with spa bath and the "Dungeon room". It has a large lounge with big stone fireplace and a wooden deck that overlooks the valley. The Blue Sky Lodge is close to the Red Sky Lodge and conference centre, and larger group often book both lodges for total exclusivity. The lodge also has its own private pool, pool bar area and large function boma overlooking the valley. The STONE SUITES are luxury self catering 2-sleeper suites with a double bed, DSTV hotel bouquet, kitchenette, private patio and its own braai boma area overlooking the valley.

The Blue Sky Lodge is a lovely place to spend a weekend or longer. Each room has its own unique look and is nice and spacious. The rusting feeling you get when you step into the lodge have an immediate calming effect on a person. The one fridge at one point may need replacement as it's not closing properly. The one room don't have bedlights and will be nice to add that to the room. Not sure about all the rooms, but a small dustbin in the room or bathroom will also be a nice add on. The staff is excellent and so helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend for people to visit the lodge. Thank you.

Mike and his team were incredible. Went for a strategic session with my small team. They created a conference setting inside the lodge, which was perfect for our needs. Lovely views, awesome beds and we loved the outside showers! We will definitely be back. Thanx Mike!

What an awesome experience at peace with family. Great atmosphere by the staff and no broken communication by management. Overall a 5 is not enough, so make it a 10!!! I’m advising you to book your next stay and be one with self and build a safe space to share and find each other as friends and family because the environment allows you!

Sky Lodge is the perfect place to stay if you are tired of city life and need to relax. The views in all directions are amazing, as are the privacy, peace and quiet. Private Bomas and pools offer the opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family. I recently stayed with friends in Sunset Lodge and we loved every minute. Loadshedding did not bother us at all, due to the solar power. The lodge was equipped with everything we required to do self-catering. There are many wonderful restaurants in the vicinity if you are not in the mood to cook, but for us it was heavenly simply to stay in and enjoy the views. The staff were extremely helpful and kind and we felt safe at all times. By the way, the mattresses are so comfortable, we slept like logs. We will definitely return.

Hi Alana Thank you for your kind review. We appreciate the positive feedback! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again soon! We have invested in solar due to necessity, however, now with continued loadshedding our solar backup system has one of the best investments we have made, and is a welcome relief for guests to come and escape loadshedding for a while. Robert and Caroline are a great management team. We are lucky to have such dedicated and efficient management and staff.

Celebrated my 40th Birthday, with Family and Friends and the venue was just perfect. Reasonably priced, privacy and really a home away from home - I would strongly recommend the venue....the pool and view were really the kicker for me...

Staff was super friendly and always willing to help! Place was clean and neat and the staff ensured it was neat and clean everyday! The views over the valley of agriculture with Harties dam and Magalies mountain range in the background was awesome. We relaxed all day at the Boma / pool area which has all the basics you need from a large retail fridge to keep food and drinks cool, etc. we will be visiting again in future.
