HABULA LODGE is a wonderful bush retreat in the Northern Free State, just outside Parys and Vredefort, aimed at relieving the stress and tension of today's somewhat hectic pace of life. It is a superb venue for weekend getaways, conferencing, weddings & functions incorporating bird watching, star gazing, animal spotting, bush walks and outstanding geological and historical interest. The luxury accommodation is all fully catered and consists of either chalets, or en-suite rooms in the guesthouse. Habula Lodge is situated in an area that is both incredibly beautiful and historically fascinating. Nestled in the hills forming the outer ring of the Vredefort Impact Site (one of the oldest and largest meteorite impact sites on earth) and only 1 hour 30 min from Johannesburg. This catastrophic event took place 2023 million years ago and yet it has a direct impact on our lives today, having been responsible for ensuring the rich gold deposits in the Witwatersrand region. The area is rich in diverse and unique fauna and flora and is well worth a visit. Contact Clive Gillespie at Habula Lodge (Pty) Ltd Tel: +27 11 267 2501 and Fax: +27 11 388 0695.
