Between River & Hill

Melody Hill is a country estate set in a secluded pecan-nut orchard, on the banks of the Magalies River. Nestled in a beautiful valley teaming with birds and indigenous plant life. Home to Nag-apies, Porcupines, Vervet Monkeys and Hornbills. In summer the Pecan trees create a lush green forest canopy. Loosing their leaves in winter, the sunlight streams in with views of the surrounding hillsides. Spring and autumn offer all of their wonderful colours.

Melody Hill is a beautiful setting for retreats, functions and private getaways. The clasical French style farmhouses have been transformed into spacious villas surrounded by nature. The five venues, can be booked seperately or used in conjunction. Our grounds include a studio, swimming pool, labyrinth, river, orchard, dam, vegetable gardens, bonfires, lawns and access to a mountainside nature walk.

Just an hour away from Johannesburg, Melody Hill is a popular venue - your home away from home. Come and experience a unique setting in harmony with its stunning environment! Whether its for a romantic countryside getaway, hosting a retreat, eco conferencing, functions or family get togethers.
