The farm guest house Chateau SalMichele, nestles between the two of world’s oldest mountain ranges “The mighty Magaliesburg” and the “Witswaterburg”. Literally a few kilometres away from the Cradle of Humankind in Magaliesburg Meanders.
Chateau SalMichele is a quaint Cape Dutch farm guest house which was built in the sixties in a small farm holding of Hartebeestfontein on a foothill of the Magaliesburg mountain as residence of a school Headmaster. The house is still in its pristine condition with wooden and rock stone flooring with spacious room and an open space living room with lovely view to gardens adjoining a dining area with a brick fire place.
If you are looking for a bit of history and getting away in nature’s tranquillity to experience a real farm house living experience and to unwind and have festive peaceful moments, then the Chateau SalMichele is the place to come and de-stress yourself on a two hectors farm exclusively reserved for you in serene surroundings.
The garden is set up in a natural landscape and scene of local flower & fauna boosting with a boutique dam where the “Malachite Kingfisher” is a regular visitor. Over 30 local indigenous birds frequently visit the farm, along with that there is a rare sighting of the Blue crane and paradise flycatchers.
Waking up with rooster cocker shrills and petting sheep, goats, cows and collecting eggs every morning are some of the joys of Farm house living. The Blue monkeys, weasels, squirrels, meerkats and of course the Impalas and Gemsbok are all around the farm house.
