The transformation is almost complete. Just under 3 years ago, Irish businessman Xavier McAuliffe purchased the Hans Merensky Country Club.
At the time, the traditional country club and long famous golf course was unexplored by most overseas visitors and was more the playground for local South African golfers.
The property had 18 chalets and the golf course and buildings were in serious need of some TLC and of course a mastermind & capitalist to facilitate the revamping process.
Today, the four star style Hotel/Resort is a wildlife, golf & sport Mecca. Just 4km from the world famous Kruger National Park’s Phalaborwa Gate and 4 km from Phalaborwa Gateway Airport, the property is easily accessible & offers a product lacking in nothing.

Air-conditioned and secluded en suite accommodation is offered in the form of 51 thatched chalets situated along the golf course and 34 hotel rooms in the gardens.
Dine in the Leadwood restaurant, have a BBQ feast in the Lapa or
enjoy the sumptuous fare in the Golf Clubhouse.

Greet the dawn on the manicured fairways of our challenging 18 Hole, Par 72 Championship golf course where you will play with hippos, warthogs, monkeys, giraffe and a variety of antelope.
You may hear stories of how the course was closed for a few hours that morning so that the rangers could chase off Elephant and Buffalo.
You may also catch a glimpse of Hyena or lions in the dark shadows of the night.

Gym, squash, tennis & conference facilities add to the final compliment.

On the banks of the Olifants River, you will find Hans Merensky’s 10 bedded Bush Camp which offers guests a fantastic opportunity to unwind in a fabulous bush setting.

Fully inclusive packages include game drives, golf and meals.

The Estate House project is ongoing and only 18 of the original 79 stands are still up for grabs.
This offers an excellent investment opportunity but also a chance to live in the wild.
