Mount Grace Country House and Spa/Johannesburg. Set in acres of exquisitely landscaped gardens in the mountainous and picturesque Magalisberg region of Gauteng, Mount Grace Country House & Spa is only an hour's drive from the bustling cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria, and exemplifies South African country living at its best. Spacious and private, the well-known and award-winning country house hotel boasts 81 sumptuously decorated guestrooms and suites arranged in variously themed villages over more than 4 hectares of verdant land. Those who take accommodation here are amply rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Magaliesberg mountains from their private verandah. Situated on an elevated plateau, each suite has private access. Guests can enjoy a languid dip in their suite's private plunge pool, then curl up inside with a cup of hot tea and choose from a wide selection of movies to watch on the in-room DVD player.
Intimate meals can be taken at The Stoep, the hotel's elegant a la carte restaurant, which seats only 35 guests, preserving an exclusive air.
The Spa complex at Mount Grace is to be considered a complete destination unto itself. It is built from organic, natural materials like stone, clay and thatch, which blend in soothingly with the surrounding landscape.
