Our Story

Family-run.
Guest-focused. Always.

We've been welcoming guests to Ermelo for over a decade. This is our home — and when you stay here, it's yours too.

The Owners

We know Ermelo.
We love having guests.

The guesthouse at 37 Hennie Marais Street has been in the family since 2011. What started as a few rooms for visiting contractors became — room by room — what it is today: eleven comfortable spaces for travellers who want more than a chain hotel can offer.

We've hosted mining engineers, government officials, families on the N2, and tourists discovering Mpumalanga for the first time. Every guest gets the same: a clean room, a proper breakfast, and a genuine welcome.

Ermelo is often treated as just a stopover. We'd like to change that — one comfortable stay at a time.
