A well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle awaits with wide-open spaces, rolling mountains, superb night skies and the call of the soulful jackal and lonely hoot of the owl.

Access to the venue

The property is accessed via a 1.5 km sand road which some may consider to be daunting but ongoing maintenance makes it quite navigable for a small car and adds to the ambiance of being away from the hustle of the city and truly out in the country.

If you cannot get away for a weekend, we offer a day-break where you can escape and relax for the day. This offer is valid for Mondays to Thursdays only – booking is recommended but not essential and payment on arrival in cash is welcome. Please refer to our rates page for pricing.

Facilities

The name “Nullarbor” was borrowed from the Australian Nullarbor Plains and means “No Trees” null = zero and arbour = trees. This name is however no longer appropriate as there is an abundance of shrubs, trees and flowers in the beautiful ambling gardens with rolling lawns. We have 3 sparkling pools with shady thatch lapas to relax around shared by the 10 units. All units have their own individual braai area and thatch lapas. Laundry facilities are available on request and units are serviced daily at an extra charge.
Slow down and experience true country lifestyle with birds in abundance. Nullarbor is ideal for a city escape, honeymoons, birthdays, anniversaries and naturally – marriage proposals.
We strive to provide our valued guests with high quality, comfortable accommodation in Magaliesburg in a peaceful and tranquil setting. We, therefore, regret we do not allow children.

Pet-Friendly Units

Three of the cottages have fully enclosed garden areas and Nullarbor provides pet owners the opportunity to enjoy their holiday with their lovable pets. We are avid animal lovers and have quite a few of our own but also consider our other guests who do not necessarily want to be disturbed by other people´s pets. Accordingly, this invitation is extended to owners with well-behaved and controllable dogs and subject to conditions which will be provided on request. We have lovely safe off-leash walking trails on our property as well as the right to use neighbouring farms.
