BACK TO NATURE, CLOSE TO JOHANNESBURG

What they say about the place…

Peace and quiet by the riverfront is what attracts many visitors to Otters Haunt. Yes, we are Eco-conscious, with solar power, refuse recycling, and a strong commitment to conserving wildlife and the environment. 

The great outdoors is what many come for. Our setting in the Vredefort Dome gives access to mountains, the river, and open countryside. We love to explore all of this with families and groups.
