Halkett Country House is a colonial style bush home, built in 1902 set in naturally beautiful Waterberg surroundings between Naboomspruit (Mookgophong) and Potgietersrus (Mokopane), in the malaria-free Limpopo Province of South Africa. The original farmhouse is brightly white-washed, built of brick and with a tin roof. From here the verandahs are the perfect place to settle with a nice cup of tea and a hefty slice of home-baked cake. With lawns dissolving into the indigenous bush beyond, here is a scene within which you shall forget your troubles. Halkett Country House provides an opportunity to unwind in a privately booked, fully-catered, family and pet-friendly destination. With good food and good times, we are especially suited to small groups. You may embrace the opportunity to relax and be yourselves. Under the shade of leafy trees, this is a tranquil venue in which to restore your soul and rejuvenate your interest in all things bushveld.
Each of our 4 bedrooms prove to be unique, with large comfortable beds and plump pillows to lay your head upon. The bathrooms retain an element of classic furnishings with nature-inspired luxury showers. Halkett Country House is all about feeling comfortable. A library of books includes fiction and non-fiction, with modern literature and classics side by side. Suitable for all ages, we hope to see you sat happily with a book in hand.
Situated on a bushveld farm it is inevitable that wildlife is present, such as warthog, bush pig, porcupine, civet, genet, brown hyena, caracal, the shy but beautiful leopard amongst many smaller species. Through the still night, the haunting call of jackal echoes and bushbabies cry. In summertime you will hear the resonance of toads and frogs chorusing, whilst the fiery-necked nightjar trills. Star gazing under an unpolluted bushveld sky is a favourite past time here and a fantastic opportunity to reinstate a feeling of calm to heart and mind. Whether it's Scorpio or Orion foremost shining, the vast depths of the night sky fascinate visitors from near and far. Bird-watching is simple, seeing bushveld birds from the verandah or if you fancy, head out into the bush seeking rarer species. Bird song is ever-present and we hope you enjoy the quarrelsome antics of our resident grey go-away birds, african hoopoe and the fork tailed drongo who likes to poke fun at the other birds!
Halkett Country House is pet-friendly, welcoming well-behaved pets. Your dog will certainly benefit from the opportunity to run freely and explore the bushveld!
To make the most of the experience, we recommend that families and friends take their long weekends here. Perfect for catching up with loved ones by the fireplace with mulled wine in winter, by summertime, outdoor living takes over. A family owned and managed home, here is a place to rekindle old friendships and enlighten your spirit.
Our aim is to make your stay memorable. You'll soon be thinking, "it's like...... coming home".
