De Hoek
Country Hotel is the only 5 star country hotel in Magaliesburg, is situated
in a unique valley, distinguished by its pocket of indigenous bush, amongst
a sprawling farming community and a small but bountiful river.
The house
was built recently, but looks one hundred years old. It was designed for
a family who have owned the land for a long time, and wanted to build a
family country house at first. The result was a house that perfectly matched
the environment and spirit of the family, a traditional design using the
'H' plan of old Cape homesteads, tin roof and stone walls of the Transvaal,
Karoo and Free State homes of old. |

| Stone
and timber, with cool dark rooms of elegant proportions, a vast dining
room opening onto terraces, East and West, a living room above the entrance
leading out to a balcony and bedrooms upstairs in the wings of the house,
each with its own special view. 16 beautifully appointed Superior Rooms
are situated along the river in North, West and South Quarters.
Building
the house entailed collecting beams, doors marble and granite from around
the country. American Oregon pine from the old Crown Mines; teak, imbuia
and Oregon salvaged from old homes.
These
elements have been incorporated throughout the house as beams and pillars,
flooring and sub-frames, lintels and cornices, doors and cupboards, forming
a major part of its texture and style.

The house
and garden provide perfectly for entertainment purposes, as well as conference
and team building exercises.
Different
areas of the hotel cater for different occasions: breakfast on the East
terrace, or out in the gardens under shady bush-willows, karees and wit
stinkhouts; a formal lunch or dinner in the dining room with all the French
doors open in Summer, or a roaring fire in Winter.
The
unique service at De Hoek has spread steadily by word of mouth. The team
comprises of the manager and owner, Michael Holenstein, his wife Michelle,
and a complement of excellent staff- Henry, Mathias and Berry, who provide
world class service.
