Bankenveld House is situated on a 2 hectare holding where we have planted more than 50 indigenous trees in the garden. Bankenveld House is a rustic thatched family home partly constructed from timber from alien invaders in and around the property. By walking, jogging or mountain biking around our property on the neighbouring farm, Laurentia, guests can expect to experience the open grassveld on the one hand and dense riverine vegetation in the valleys and kloofs on the other hand. A large variety of fauna and flaura will be experienced. The local protea, Sugarbush, found in the veld, was chosen as Bankenveld House's own emblem.
The unique Bankenveld vegetation type, second to fynbos, is a threatened biosphere due to pressure of development, mining and farming. Only a small part in the Gauteng Highveld remains untouched and is under constant pressure to decrease.

I found the place so refreshing and had to extend my stay mainly to the kindness of that family. Bankeveld House will always be my second home when I run my race in Cradle of Humankind.
The host was very welcoming, the place is clean and outdoors very refreshing, the breakfast was very delicious 😋
Thank you to Elsa for a lovely stay! The room was perfect, breakfast was yummy and the friendly hospitality was very welcoming. Will be back again soon!
Elsa was very helpful and accommodating, Very Nice place!
Fantastic Host very friendly and accommodating. We booked the upstairs luxury rooms. Very beautiful with a nice deep bath and shower a massive "dream" bed and widescreen tv. You can make your own coffee,tea or cappuccino in the room. It has a small balcony if you want to experience the outside breeze. A big lot with a view of the river valley. My son was on his bicycle the whole stay through.
You won't be disappointed you will be pleasantly surprised at this gem!
This venue is the wild in the in the city. Free open space with the birds that wake you up in the morning and the possible cry of a jackal at night. If you are fortunate enough you might spot the owl leaving his nest. There is no end to the hospitality of the hosts. Personal service and care is their motto. Here you are definitely at home away from home and the area afford the visitor the opportunity to enjoy other venues of great interest. Highly recommended.
They always say smaller companies give better service. I would say service was definitely an enjoyable facet of this stay. It was scenic and safe! Privacy is your own and the owners are always able to cater for your needs! Definitely will be going again. You have your own fridge as well as complementary tea and coffee inside your room!
Real value for the price you pay. Elsa is just amazing. Attention to every detail and request. Rooms are cleaned daily and have stunning old Victorian finishing.
I will always return.
Could not believe we were in the city. It felt like a country retreat!! Elsa was brilliant and so friendly. Thank you Elsa
