THE ROSENDAL country retreat is situated in the breathtaking little town of Rosendal in the middle of natural splendour, providing the perfect get-away from the rushed city life. Rosendal is a small picturesque town in the Eastern Free State. It is situated in a valley surrounded by the Witteberge, part of the Drakensberg range. The area is on average 2408m above sea level. The mountains add to the natural beauty of the area. The mountains were formed 2 million years ago with lava being deposited over the Tafelberg sandstone deposit.

Green willows line fast flowing creeks, some up to 17m deep. A large number of species of trees, shrubs, succulents, wild flowers and grasses grow in the fertile soil. Many species of bird frequent the area including Vultures and Blue Cranes.

The town and surrounding area have a number of historical sandstone buildings that are really worth a visit. Art, hiking, adventure sport, horseriding and visits to interesting farming industries are just some of the things Rosendal offers. Picnic at one of the spots available and just enjoy the pristine fresh air and magnificent surrounds.

Only 3 hour's drive from Johannesburg and 4 from Pretoria, this gem of a country retreat is a haven of tranquility and beauty, offering the best of South African country life.
