Road Trip

Crowthorne Lodge

-

Sitting on the veranda next to the bar overlookin­g the koi dams, mature trees, manicured flower beds and lawn of Crowthorne Lodge you can be forgiven for thinking you are in some bushveld retreat, and not in the hustle and bustle of the greater Midrand region. Ideally situated close to the business centres of Midrand and Sandton, Crowthorne Lodge is a real haven in the northern suburbs of greater Johannesbu­rg, close to the Crowthorne shopping centre and Kyalami racetrack. It is also situated near the N1

Highway, for easy access to Tshwane and the OR Tambo airport.

The peace and tranquilli­ty of the lodge surrounds, the big, comfortabl­e and wellappoin­ted rooms with extra-length king-sized beds. a Dstv enabled flat-screen TV, fully equipped kitchenett­e, a study nook, airconditi­oning, an on-suite bathroom and fast Wi-fi makes it an ideal sanctuary for business travellers and conference delegates.

From small beginnings in 2008, with only eight rooms, Crowthorne Lodge has expanded to now offer over 40 rooms,

conference and wedding facilities, and has become a favourite destinatio­n for many corporates and businesses – thanks to a strict no noise policy around the living areas and a wide variety of breakfast options and delicious South African dinners served every day.

While it caters for business guests and delegates, the lodge has not lost its homely atmosphere and is still a family-run business. On arrival, guests can expect a friendly welcome from Jessie or Bianca, and owners Dirk and Adri Winterbach personally oversees the running of the lodge, the catering services and the events.

HOMELY ATMOSPHERE

They also encourage guests to join them in the evenings at the homely, fully equipped bar (with craft beer on tap) in the Pavilion, for some good conversati­on or a game of chess, pool, darts or table-tennis A boma is available for conference groups and delegates to get together after a long day and guests can also relax next to the beautiful, heated pool.

Crowthorne Lodge Midrand Conference Centre offers on-site and same-day laundry services and a shuttle service to and from the OR Tambo airport, or from business premises inside the greater Midrand/ Sandton area. Security is of the highest standard, and the premises are protected by high walls and electric fences, CCTV cameras, armed response, guards and the Midrand Police Services.

So, if you need a haven in the city known for its peaceful surroundin­gs where you can relax and unwind after a long, taxing day, or if you want to run a conference or off-site business meeting in the Midrand district, then Crowthorne Lodge should be your preferred destinatio­n.

Take it from us: You will arrive at Crowthorne Lodge as a unknown guest but you will return as a friend, again and again…
