In the Eastern / Bojanala Region of the North West province in South Africa. The property is South East facing, with stunning sun rises and cool reflected sun sets. The views over the Hartbeespoort Dam are breath taking with for ever changing scenery. The 2197m2 property is sub divisible into 2 separate properties. One bottom/lower property would occupy the lodge, with the buildings utilizing 542 m2 The other/upper property would house the private dwelling of 390 m2 The property has access through right of way on a driveway serving 3 other properties The Lodge After utilizing the property for +- 10 years as a weekend get away for our family to relax and play, all our children had left the "nest" , and Ingrid and I had to make a decision. The options open to us were to sell the property and go back to our house in a Roodepoort suburb, or make Kosmos our family home. No contest , so we started to make plans to build our family home here in Kosmos. This was a challenge as we did not want the 3 bedrooms bathroom master bedroom home, been there done that. So, after a long time, and having had some overseas friends staying with us in Kosmos the idea for a Lodge was born. Willinga Lodge was the first original lodge in Kosmos and the greater Hartbeespoort dam area as far as I can remember. A master plan had to be created, and where Ingrid wanted as much open space and uninterrupted views, I wanted maximum privacy for our future guests. Every suite had to have a private entrance and garden with uninterrupted views over the Hartbeespoort dam, and no guests should have to walk in front of other suites disturbing their privacy. A compromise was reached, and we think that after about 14 years of running the Lodge and listening to our guests remarks we have achieved just that.
