History of the Magaliesberg
The Magaliesberg are almost 100 times older than the Himalayas and the area is historically and archaeologically rich. It is here that Mankind originated, in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. Today there is still evidence of Stone Age and Iron Age early man to be found. Stone Hill is only 11 kms from Maropeng Visitor’s Centre and 15 kms from the Sterkfontein Caves.
Over the centuries, many wars have been waged across the hills, the most recent being the Anglo Boer War. At Stone Hill, a site has been found from that period and the pieces are displayed for visitors who may be interested. The collection is dated somewhere between 1899 to 1902.
Stone Hill offers privacy, peace and seclusion and it is where your internal clock instinctively slows to the rhythm of the bush.
The welcome is warm and the attention is personalised so come and barbecue under the stars and hear the call of the jackals.
