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.
