CATEGORIES: Accommodation in South Africa » Golf Estates & Lodges » Self Catering Villas & Holiday Houses » South Africa Fishing Lodges » South Africa Self Catering » DESCRIPTION: Amaluti, named for its superb view across the golf course, trout dam and rolling hills to the distant Maluti Mountains, has the Wow! factor in every sense. It has a special ambience; with its open plan design, elegant decor and unique frameless glass walls, which enhance the stunning view. The house is shielded from the village by mature trees and the adjacent houses do not intrude on its privacy. Situated in the best part of the Clarens Golf and Trout Estate Amaluti is an easy three hour drive from Johannesburg, Pietermaritzburg and Bloemfontein or four from Durban AccommodationYou can either rent the whole house, sleeping 8 adults and 4 children (or 10 adults) or the Upper Level which sleeps up to 4 adults and 4 children (or 6 adults). There are two bedrooms with king-size double beds and two with twin beds. All have superbly comfortable mattresses, masses of super soft pillows, down duvets, electric blankets and under-floor heating to ensure a good night’s rest in even the coldest weather. All the bedrooms are en-suite and have their own colour scheme. The bathrooms, ‘open plan’ behind the bedrooms, are screened by the bed head walls, which also house the generous built-in cupboards. They have luxury fittings, a glass shower, a floating basin and matching ‘Perfekt’ bath, which can accommodate two good friends at a time! Charlotte Rhys toiletries, luxurious cotton bath sheets and twin dressing gowns complete the ensemble. The loft upstairs is the ‘Quarterdeck’ for children, where they can be on their own but ‘at hand’ for supervision. They have two double sofa beds, their own shower and basin with toilet, and a DVD player to help keep them occupied. The open plan kitchen on the Upper level is spacious and fitted with all that a chef could want, including gas hob, electric oven, microwave, a wine chiller, frost free deep freeze and fridge, dishwasher and H2O water filter. The serving counter gives ready access to the dining table that can seat twelve. Adjacent is the Bar unit. The living area is uncluttered, with one seating area around the gas fireplace and TV (with PVR) and the other in front of the folding glass wall, that brings the outside in and the inside out, providing spectacular, uninterrupted views. Outside is a separate patio with verandah furniture and gas braai. FacilitiesThere is a double garage and covered parking, for four cars. In addition a two-seater electric golf car can be hired.

DIRECTIONS: From Johannesburg Take the N3 towards Durban. Pass the turn-off to Vereeniging / Villiers. Pass the Engen One Stop. Take the Villiers (South) and Frankfort (Exit 169) Off-ramp. Turn right to cross over the N3 following signs to Frankfort R26. From here to the Reitz turn off beware of potholes, especially after rain. At the T-junction just before Frankfort turn right onto the R34. Pass Frankfort and cross the Wilge River. About 300m further, turn left, back onto the R26, and follow the sign Reitz / Bethlehem. Pass turn-offs to Tweeling and Reitz and continue straight on to Bethlehem. Drive straight through Bethlehem on the N5, the road to Durban. Do not turn left or right. 5 kilometres past Bethlehem turn right to Clarens on the R712. Please phone me from here so I can meet you at the house. After about 30ks you go through a ‘Nek’ and will see the Golf Course on your left and Clarens village on your right. You can see our house as you come down the hill into Clarens. Amaluti is the first double story house on the edge of the Golf Course and has huge glass windows. Pass the turn off to the village - and the next turn off to the right, to Fouriesburg. Then turn Left into ‘The Clarens Golf and Trout Estate’ (big entrance clearly marked). You will be required to fill in a security form – you are staying at House number 90. Proceed through the security gate keeping left, round the circle, and straight up the road past the sales office. Watch out for the Speed Dips, they are lethal! Take the second road to the left. When you reach a T junction – turn left down the hill. At the bottom of this road is another T junction – turn right. Follow the road which now runs parallel to the golf course. Watch out for another Speed Dip About 200 metres further on turn left – again following the Golf Course. Amaluti is the 6th house on the left – there is a sandstone marker with a brass AMALUTI and the stand number – 90. It can also be recognized by the carport which is built down from the road rather than at road level. MAP: Available at: http://www.sa-venues.com/visit/amaluti/map.php |
