Verlorenkloof Crofts

Tucked away in a secluded, dramatic valley of the Steenkampsberg mountains near Lydenburg, Mpumalanga, Verlorenkloof Crofts is a hidden jewel of the South African highlands. Bordering the upper reaches of the Crocodile River, this pristine estate offers an exclusive, deeply peaceful mountain retreat defined by wide-open spaces, mist-shrouded peaks, and quiet country sophistication.

The architecturally designed, stone-and-thatch self-catering "Crofts" are carefully positioned along the hillside to guarantee absolute privacy. Blending timeless timber and stone textures with clean, minimalist layouts, each luxury croft features massive glass windows, an expansive open-plan living area, a large open fireplace for chilly highland nights, and a private wooden deck built to frame endless views of the valley.
