From 21-23 October, join Mark Tennant, one of Africa’s top wildlife guides, at De Hoek for a fun and informative Stones and Bones weekend.
There is no denying that the Magaliesberg mountains hold a special magic for everyone. For travellers, philanthropists and gourmands, that magic is enhanced by a stay at De Hoek Country Hotel, the perfect option if you’re looking for 5 star Magaliesberg accommodation.
It’s a step back into the past on the weekend of 21- 23 October 2011 when the country hotel and one of Africa’s top wildlife guides, Mark Tennant, entertains and educates guests, in a delightful Stones and Bones weekend package.
De Hoek is idyllic Magaliesberg accommodation just a short drive from the Cradle of Humankind, a world heritage site which serves as inspiration for the weekend’s activities. The package includes a talk on how the large predators of Africa evolved for survival, as well as a visit to Pretoria to see world famous 2.2 million year old Australopithecus Africanus skull of ‘Mrs Ples’. Scientist Stephany Potse will be on hand to lead the question and answer session which will be followed by a walk in the Sterkfontein caves, the site of more hominid bone finds than any other paleontological site in the world. The beautiful African evening is celebrated around the fireside in De Hoek’s luxury Magaliesberg accommodation with Mark on a wonderful journey into our history.
Michael is renowned for his culinary skills and bases his meals on fresh seasonal produce, with nightly variations. Guests will be spoilt for choice during his six course dinners, which offer several options of entrees, main courses and creative desserts, followed by cheese platters and friandises - all with appropriate wine pairings. Between these dinners there is breakfast and high tea…a never ending parade of indulgent experiences.

The hotel houses guests in 16 beautifully appointed, bespoke suites, all oozing charm, comfort and special, thoughtful touches. Combine all these offerings with rich port, deep and charming conversation , shared stories and new connections and you have a country mix that will remain unmatched until your next De Hoek experience.
