If you haven’t booked a getaway for the Heritage Day long weekend yet, maybe it’s time to do so now and celebrate spring at one of our AA Quality Assured Accommodation spots.
Gauteng
One for the outdoor enthusiasts! A short drive from Johannesburg, you will find the majestic Magaliesberg area. Filled with plenty of outdoor activities, and some breathtaking views of nature at its finest. Book your stay at Intaba Thulile and you will have access to Breedts Nek Pass, a perfect track for mountain bikers.

North-West Province
A stone’s throw from both Pretoria and Johannesburg, Hartebeespoort becomes a hive of activity over weekends. Book your stay at Ponciana Guest House, where you can experience Belgian hospitality combined with a mouth-watering champagne buffet breakfast in the morning enjoying a fantastic view. There is also a great selection of day-activities available in the area, like hot-air balloon trips, spa treatments and even steam train trips.
