Your hosts, Annette and Chris de Beer welcome you to Pierneef’s Kraal guest lodge.
This fertile and luscious landscape inspired many iconic masterpieces by Jacobus Hendrik (Henk) Pierneef, or just ‘Pierneef’ as the world would come to know him. Arguably the most prolific landscape art by a South African artist.
He called this piece of land ‘Elangeni’ – where sunshine is at the gate. And it is at this exact gate, under the same trees, in that same light, on Pierneef’s very foundations that our story begins and where you will find the same peace in the midst of a bustling city.

What people are saying about Pierneef’s Kraal
“I loved the ambiance of the property. It is set in beautiful grounds with lovely trees and gardens. The rooms are all very private and it feels like you have the place to yourself. Being in the garden does not feel like you are in the middle of a city, with the sounds of the wind in the trees and the birds.”
