Blue Roan strives to make guests feel at home. The units are unique with themes and decorated in an interesting and innovative way. Each one is different. However, they are all designed for 2 people only (children are not allowed) with comfort and romance in mind. In order to provide a peaceful and quiet environment, we do not allow groups (multi room bookings) or children. The units are like home-from-home. Everything except your food is provided. As they are self-catering, the kitchens have everything you can think of and bathrobes, hairdryer and toiletries complete the picture in the bedrooms. DSTV, spa baths, large showers, inside log fireplaces, electric blankets, private patio with built-in barbeque are features of all the units. The Owner is on site and available 24 hours a day. Only an hour's drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria makes it a quick and easy getaway. A nice place to stay whilst exploring the Cradle of Humankind and the area in general.
My dogs and horses are my passion as well as meeting new people who come and stay at Blue Roan. Our guests return again and again and feel like family.
Guest enjoy visiting the visitors centre at the Cradle of Humankind, zip line adventures, the game reserves and being out in the country.
